Crashes constantly, pure frustration in a disk, zero customer service

128 saves is what uou are allowed. That is not enough. Constant crashing means that in reality, you need to save in almost every "room" to avoid replaying. It is not my PS3 - I own a number of games and this is the only one that crashes. Yes, I know that you can delete old saves. I've had to do that over and over again. Now I'm stuck in a cave system - because when I try to leave the four zones that are part of the cave system, the game crashes, consistently. I guess I have to go back to an old save.

By the way, the promised customer service is a joke. I have called and been hung up on (before a single word gets exchanged) about 30 times now - I hear music and a click a second later.

Other games that are this bad get a patch. The patch is stored on the hard drive. Oblivion has not issued a patch. Don't waste your money on this turkey, just get a fork from your kitchen and stick it in your eye, the experience is about the same. There are lots of good games for the PS3 and maybe the Xbox or PC versions of this game are good, but this turkey would not have been released by anyone who cared about their rep.

Open GL and Oblivion!

The ps3 tries to pull off a pc game. Oblivion just doesnt work on the ps3. With the crappy controls and no rummble feature. Now, the 360 can pull it off with the updated dx9 shaders, and rummble. And all the updates already out for the 360 makes the game look just as good as the ps3 version.

This game sucks

What a waste of money and time. If you want to wander aimlessly in a contrived and pointless game, this is it.

Doesn't live up to the hype

The first game I purchased and played on my new Playstation 3 was "Resistance, Fall of Man" (RFOM), which is an incredible experience, both in the game play, the story line and the remarkable graphics. RFOM truly separates PS3 from the PS2 in terms of delivering an immersing playing experience. After playing through the game three times I was ready to take on another awesome PS3 title, and the only one available to purchase that represented itself as a 1st person shooter of the same intensity as RFOM was "Oblivion". After setting up the game and playing through the first level I am thoroughly unimpressed. Frankly I intend to sell the game on ebay without wasting any more time playing it. Clearly the game seems lame by comparison to RFOM..., however I'm VERY glad that Oblivion wasn't the first title I purchased for the PS3 or I might have sold the entire game console.

Boring

Worst game I've purchased for the PS3. Don't have the time to waste on repetitive quests. The graphics aren't that good. Overall first and last RPG I buy!

good for a while but gets glitchy

For the first few months this game performed fine but recently has started to freeze constantly especially when traveling between rooms/sections and has even started freezing when i try to save/load.

Nice visuals but slow game that feels outdated. Your character jumps through the air looking like a frozen robot.

It's sort of like single player WoW

Think World of Warcraft... but all by yourself. Sure, the game is huge and there's tons of stuff to do - but will you want to do it? For me, it is a definite no. I hate reading long reviews so here's a breakdown.

Pros:
Huge
Open-ended (aside from the main plot)
Easy to cheat (item duplication, weak AI)

Cons:
Zero socialization
WAY over-hyped
Too Complex /
Laughable in game explanations (+1 Feather on Self... um, yay?)
Awkward fighting (or maybe I just don't like first person sword fights?)
All but pointless third person mode

I bought this game on a whim when I first purchased the PS3, since it was raved about all over the net. Terrible choice. I played it all the time... until I bought my second game. I haven't even touched ES since then. If you are looking for a new game for you PS3, go and download Tekken, Stardust HD, or Calling all Cars (or all three, which is still cheaper than this game).

Gets boring quick

After a friend advised me to buy this game in addition to reading the reviews here, I picked it up. At first, I though it was pretty cool. The environments were detailed and innovative, the menus were well organized and fairly easy to use. But the combat really sucks. I can't seem to be able to enjoy it. When creatures are sprinting all over the place and you can't keep a monster in front of you to whack or fire a spell at it just isn't fun. I think the characters are ugly, the dialog gets monotonous, and I just don't care for the evolving plot. I'm going to get the Conan game and see if it appeals to me more.

Boring and Buggy

The game looks OK and it does have a lof of options, but the bugs drive me nuts and overall I find it kind of boring. I stopped playing after a week or so. My 9 year old son hates this game too.

When I start the game up, I go to a sceen informing me not to turn off the system when it's writing to the hard drive, like every other game. For some reason, with this game I can get stuck on this screen for over a minute. I press X and nothing happens.

I'm not a huge fan of role playing games. Every few years I buy a game with a good review and then after playing I remember why I don't like games like this. It's because you do a lot of moving around and not much else.
