I've had this game for roughly a month now, and have played 70 hours worth of it already. I am no where near being close to finishing it. I downloaded some free content (Mahrunes Razor Quest), and that took me about 12-15 hours to pass. Game is absolutely brilliant. Oblivion would get my vote for Game of the Year 2006. Considering I also own Gears of War, that is saying quite a bit.

the standard

This is the kind of game that you can play, and play and play. Time goes by fast when you play this game as well. Recomended for anyone, I wasn't into these types of games until i played oblivion e.s. and now i love them.

UNREAL!

I've never been much of an RPG fan but with all the rave reviews Oblivion was getting I had to give it a shot. Wow im glad I did! Such a unbelievable game. I've never been sucked so deep into a game since the original Tomb Raider came out for the PS1!! You can travel and explore every square inch of land as far as the eye can see, and what really impressed me was that no 2 people playing the game will have the same experience... your actions have consiquences, much like in real life.

WORD OF WARNING: If you buy this game be prepared to have your social life sucked into your HDTV. You'll neglect you're girlfriend, boyfriend, wife or kids. If you dont mind that then go out and get this.

great game, even better value........

with the current gaming industry spilling out games that run 8 to 10 hours, and have no replay value (even on XBOX Live, where multiplayer only lives until the next big game comes out) nice to see Bethesda cranking out another Elder Scrolls that is very deep, immersive, and best of all, hours and hours and hours of gameplay.

well worth the money. maybe the only game i haven't thought twice about spending $60 on, versus the $50 from the previous generation's titles.

Best Game To Ruin Your Life

This game is by far the best RPG I have ever played and I hate RPG's. But with its endless hours of quests and hours of main story line it doesn't even feel like an rpg. This game takes 100 hrs + to just finish it and if you have xbox live there is an expansion that cost roughly $25 but it worth every penny. GET IT NOW !!!

NICE

Here we go. Never been a big fan of any specific genre of game. I play em all equally, but RPG games just havent been on my scope for the past couple of years. After all the hoopla about Oblivion, I said what the hell, so I went ahead and grabbed it. I would say that all the hype was real. Been playing for around 30+ hours now, and I still haven't even joined a guild, or did any missions. Just roaming around doing random things, so I know for a fact I'm going to get my moneys worth out of this one.

The only reason I rate it 4 stars overall, is because even though it seems to be a pretty vast game, the map is actually a bit small for my liking. Hell, I cant even wander into the Black Marsh. Kudos to the developers of this one, just next time expand the world a bit.

Worth a $100

Best action rpg ever, best graphics on a console rpg, and arguably the best game on xbox 360. Its worth every penny this game is going down in history. You cant go wrong with this game unless you to simple to understand it.

Excellent Game

I know, I know...everybody loves this game, right? Well there's a reason for that. Oblivion is a superb game. Along with Gears of War it is an absolute must buy for any 360 owner regardless of genre preference. The grapics, gameplay, and storyline are all extremely tight.

That being said there are a few downsides but they are nearly all in comparison to the prior episode in the series, Morrowind. 1) The number of factions within the game is reduced. This naturally reduces the number of questions, storyline interactions, etc. 2) Between the various factions there isn't the same level of consequence. In certain quest of Morrowind, completing the quest either got you expelled from another faction or prevented you from join it. This added a more realistic feeling and made you get more creative in quest completions. 3) Training has been extremely limited. You're only limited to 10 total training levels per character level. This may just be me but I don't particularly like that.

The other two things are more personal preference. The "level" of enemies and items can go either way. I see why Bethesda did it but I liked the other way better. The other thing is a lack of multiplayer. I don't personally want a multiplayer aspect in this type of game but some people might.

Again, overall a fantastic game. Definately a must buy.

one of the best RPG's i have ever played

Im not good at writing these things. All i can say is if you love the RPG genre as much as i do you NEED to buy this game. The only thing i dont like is the load times, but i know it is a small sacrifice for the HUGE world and insanly awesome graphics.

great game
