Oblivion is without a doubt deserving of the game of the year title. It is however disappointing that I will have buy the game over again just to play the Shivering Isles expansion pack. It is wrong that they just don't release the individual pack in retail or psn to save some money. I don't know if they are going to do that in the future but I know I can't wait so I am stuck paying 60$. CRUEL CRUEL WORLD!!!

Man, this game's addictive

I don't know whether to be completely psyched that I own this game or stressed that it just consumes so much free time. Whatever the case may be, after playing this game all other RPGs just seem kinda lame. Here, there's so much to do it can be overwhelming, but it's all up to the gamer where to go, what to do, who to be, even how hard the enemies are to kill, it's all completely customizable. It's just an amazing experience, just don't let it suck out your social life. Look at it this way, if played just for bits and pieces at a time there will still be new things to discover in Oblivion well over a year from now. That's just amazing. This is a must-own, even for non-RPG junkies.

bugs galore

THis game is truly fantastic, but once you get quite far on in the game, there are constant bugs - on certain side quests and even in the main one itself. It drove me crazy in the end, constantly saving because I never knew when the next bug would arrive and have now just stopped playing altogether. I wish there was this type of review around when I bought it.

I have scoured the net and have seen that a lot of gamers are having this problem. However, it was a great game before the bugs.

Most addictive game ever.

You can kiss your social life good-bye. You will spend every free moment playing this game. You will ignore friends and family members to the point where they will start to be concerned for you.

ADDICTIVE!

BOTTOM LINE:

My first foray into RPGs or Massive Players whatever...and I don't think I can go back to regular platform games! This is way too much fun and way too addictive. My wife and I have to split our time without getting into a fight over playing our respective game! She's a Redguard Warrior Mage, I'm a Wood Elf Mage Thief. It's great!

PROS: Unbeleivable how you can modify your character!
Graphics are flawlessly gorgeous
Sheer scope/size is off the charts
Totally free roaming
Over 20 skills to develop
Easy to understand but challenging enuff to stay interesting
AI is ridiculous-ly realistic
Excellent storyline

CONS: None really.

My wife insists that the characters should be able to form relationships, a'la 'The Sims'. LOL

Prepare to spend a full year playing this game. You've been warned!

I bought the original bug-filled Oblivion for my PS3. I finished it and really liked playing it but I find it a joke that Bethesda re-releases this game less than a year later with all kinds of added content. If you want to play this content you have to buy the new game. Why not make the new content downloadable for a small fee to existing owners? I'll tell you why, they suck that's why. Just want more money...... The game is really good if you can overlook it freezing up and you save a lot so you can work around the bugs.

I have not played the game of the year edition however the origional PS3 version includes the Knigts of the Nine expantion and it is included in the main body of the game not as a seperate game. You don't have to lode up Knights of the Nineor the Shivering Isles they are just part of the game. I hope that answers your question

It's get lonely in Oblivion

This is a good game. Graphics are great and their is a lot to do. The thing that sucks about it is that you're all alone. Most RPGs have multiple characters in your party allowing you to explore difference voices and stories. In this game, it's just you in a huge world. It's kind of depressing.

Great Game - now how do I get to the expansion games?

Ok - I give up - How do you load the Shivering Isles and/or Knights of The Nine? Like a previous reviewer, I've already played Oblivion through and plunked the $60 down just for the addon games, but there doesn't seem to be any option to load these other games. Someone HELP!

Awesome RPG for the PS3

Oblivion on the PS3 looks great, plays great, and is alot of fun. It has a large open ended world for you to explore outside of the main quest. The GOTY edition has a large amount of new content between the 2 expansions that are included.
