Oblivious to everything else

The last time I played a game that took as much of my time, it was Diablo II: LOD. I played it the same way - that is, by myself. Although it was playable as a multiplayer online game (MMORPG), I don't often play that way. One of the most unusual things about Oblivion is that it was designed to be played by one person, alone. For that kind of game, it is just excellent. You can follow the usual paths, strike out on your own, interact somewhat with others, go at your own pace. There's no real point to 'leveling up', as the game 'levels' with you. I like that aspect a lot as well.

Altogether well thought out and a lot of fun to play. I have only played one game, in which I have become the Champion of Cyrodiil, The Grey Fox (head of the Thieves Guild), the Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild, the Grand Champion of the Arena, and the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood - and I'm still playing and having a good time.

It has sucked a great deal of time from my life.

once you begin to play this game. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay engrossing. Seriously addictive. The only drawback is that you have to have a pretty powerful computer to play it. Even though my machine exceeds all recommendations for this game, it still crashes to the desktop on a fairly regular basis, and it took some serious tweaking to get it to run in the first place.

I am a fan of Morrowind and was really looking forward to Oblivion coming out. It did not disappoint me. I really enjoyed playing it. However, you must have a really up to date computer to play it. It won't run on most older computers. Read the minimum requirements closely!

GREAT RPG

Make sure you have the horsepower to run this visually stunning game. I have been a fan of this TES series and this game by far is the best in the series. You may want to quit your job...extremely addicting

Extremely Detailed Game

This is an awesome game, that you don't need to be into wizards and goblins and such in order to fully enjoy it. It's such a rich, detailed world. There's so many ways to play it, beyond the normal rogue, warrior, spell-caster approach, and it's so non-linear that you can pretty much do anything you want, or go anywhere you want.
The graphics are amazing and look almost photo-realistic.
This is a great game that I would recommend to anyone who owns a decent computer, an XBOX 360, or a PS3.

This is a game you could play for what seems like 20 minutes, but in reality 4 hours have passed by. I bought this game just under 3 weeks ago, and the in-game save says I already spent 80 hours on it. I'm not even close to beating it yet either. This game is so non-linear... you can do pretty much whatever mission you want, at any time, and your character can grow in numerous different ways depending on what you decided to be (murderous evil sorcerer, thief, heroic warrior or battle-mage, you can be a good guy or a bad guy at any time). Although, if you like something faster-paced, you can just focus on the main mission, but I imagine that's less fun.

You need a really good computer. I have an Core 2 Duo 6600, GeForce 7950GT, 2 GB ram. I tried the "highest" settings at 1024 resolution, but it gets too choppy when your fighting so it's hard to see what's going on. I didn't want to turn them down at first because the game is just so gorgeous like that, but I wound up running under "medium"-ish settings and it's pretty smooth.

I sorta wish I had my 80 hours back. I've got a cool C# project I'd like to finish. But I'm just too addicted that I'll probably spend another 80 soon :-)

Excellent Single Player Game

This game is very immersive, offers scores of hours' worth of quests, has dozens of caves/mines/ancient ruins to explore, and is gorgeous. My 4 year old daughter likes to watch my character either run or ride a horse throughout the game world because it looks so good! (No fighting, of course, just sight seeing.) This is a superb role-playing game for the single player. Games like World of Warcraft, Everquest, Guild Wars, etc. get a lot of attention but Oblivion is an excellent game as well.

The player can decide what to do: follow the main story line, explore the land, or join a guild (or multiple guilds). The game is very open, similar to GTA, but with stonger consequences for attacking people.

You cannot go wrong with this game.

This is one of the best computer games ever. It is a MasterWork, a game the fulfills the vision of a company that knew where it was going, but just now has the horse power to get there. The character creation, the ability to choose to do or not do anything. I once was so lost in this game that I thought after finishing a quest I felt as if I had been at sea, it took me a few seconds to realize I was just sitting in front of a computer screen, the immersion is that deep. Try a Redguard Barbarian and enjoy this game!

free form gameplay gaoe
