The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Xbox 360 Reviews

[durera]

Seeng as this is one of the major games missing a review thread I figured it was worth creating one so we can see how AVF members rate this game in comparison with other potential favourites (See here for a list of other ratings threads -- Gears of War is currently the Forum's favourite game with 507 reviews and an average rating of 8.61!

A 10 should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules, a 9 for a truly excellent game without flaw, and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get a 5 (not a 7 or 8 like some would have you believe).

9, thought it was fantastic while it lasted.

[Noggleboggleman]

I haven't played it enough really, but I can already see the differences between this and Morrowind. I gave it a 9 because I don't think that it is genre defining like Morrowing was.

[ZebraheadDude]

It's testament to this games brilliance that I still play it frequently. I just love creating new & different characters/races and taking them down different paths. Outstanding.

This game is absolutley beautiful! - I play it all the time when I show people my HD PJ, the game just looks stunning and the scenery is impressive - it amazes me how they even squeezed it all onto a DVD.

Anyone who has never played it should try it out - I was never into RPG at all, but I decided to try it out because all the major game review sites gave it a 9/10 - I didn't regret it one bit!

The game is soo big and there is soo much to explore by yourself!

a 10 from me. Without a doubt the most amazing game I have ever played. ok it has a few faults, but the sheer scale and quality takes it to a 10 for me. Outstanding title.

[Bilbob]

Contradicting what I put in another thread () I gave it a 10. No other game like it has come close to dominating my time like this did.

Truly outstanding.

[BlackCammeh]

9/10

I belive this was the benchmark for the RPG game and others followed on like Fable 2 and Fallout 3.

Apart from my mistake of deleating my level 34 character with 110Hrs Played but i think it missed that one little tiny thing that everyone loves.

Some form of multiplayer

Even if it was something as small as what fable 2 did while not co-oping with someone, the floating orbs it gives a sense that you can see other people playing and what they are up to.

apart from that.

Truly a EPIC RPG title, i hope Elder Scrolls 5 is on its way

[Carlosis]

Having completed the main quest and all the expansion pack sages ago i booted it up again recently as i remembered i hadnt completed the mage and thieve side missions, bloody loving this game again!

I heard there making a new oblivion somewhere, wil have to find out if it's true, i can only imagine what the next one could look like.

[Geordiepete]

Whenever I play this I feel like i've melted into my TV, the characters the soundtrack, the enviroments are spot on.

I don't think there's a better value game available. I've put 156 hrs into it and i'm only just half way thru the shivering isles, havn't done the theives guild quests yet or the knights of the nine expansion and there are still places I havn't explored. If you decided not to use the fast travel option to get across the map you could be playing it for the years on end.

[SgtPenguinboy]

utterly excellent kept me amused forever

[JonnyConcrete]

Can't believe I never voted for this.

10/10

The most immersive game I've played this gen, possibly ever.

[Raffboner]

This has just reminded me to pick up the GOTY so I can finish my achievements. Also this game was my first rpg so its getting 10

[SmoothHound]

Voted 9.

This maybe sad, but i've sunk just over 1000 hours into this, since it came out a few years ago. This is the best game I have EVER played in my life (i'm 31). I've gone through every character and have memorised every single mission since I've played it so many times. Now that IS sad I admit, but, cor blimey this is a game and a half.
I was utterly overwhelmed when I started it, but once you get the hang of it and the magic its an epic title.

A must for RPG fans

[JuanRCP]

I played this game for about 2/3 hours and got dispondent with it a couple of years ago.

I wish I hadn't traded it in, as these days, it would be exactly the kind of game I want to get stuck into. The only thing I remember though, is I felt like I was missing something with the combat, and swinging my sword and never hitting a thing... almost like there was a target lock on button someone had failed to inform me about!
