Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - 9/10
Welcome to the world of Oblivion, there is food, drink, spells, monsters, and places to explore everywhere. Though if your not careful you may play until you waste away!
Yes, Oblivion is that good. The game is like a beautiful, smart, super star athlete cousin of Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. Everything is done right in Oblivion, graphics, story, ease of exploration, character depth, the ability to see your attacks on an enemy actual have some effect. Its all good. Whats great is how easy to be evil it is, and being good actually takes work. Everyone has daily lives and a mind of their own that will compell themto tell you what they think of you. I commonly was called "snowman" as i was playing as a Nord. But i would turn around and show them who owns with a quick bitch slap of my sword. Then i would pay my fines and be on my way. :P I have yet to find a shortage of things to do, but that doesnt mean you may get sick of doing somethings. I commonly went between free roaming and questing to alchemy and massacres.
Though if I am praising the game so much why not a 10?, you may be wondering. Well the game is not without its technical flaws from time to time. I am currently unable to complete the quest to cure vampirism...which annoys me since i have had my fun as a blood sucking bastard. Sometimes you will see roots in a cave go ape shit for no reason, and guards that will follow across the world because you killed someone in their town. There are problems but for any game of this size its almost expected.
But none the less I must recommended this title as at least one decent title among a variety of dissapointment that the X360 came out with.
Until Next.
