 Possibly the best game ever made. July 20, 2008

The realism, the open world, the real time effects, the graphics are beautiful. The quests are great and there are so many of them that this game has infinate replay value, I could beat this game with every class and still love it. This is like the amazing Baulders Gate and Icewind games but on a whole new even more realistic level with infinate possabilites. I could just walk threw the woods in this game for hours a look at the lush enviroments because it's so breathtaking and real looking. Game play is great, the classes, character building and multi-classing as well as naming your own class and created weapons etc is great and adds that much more realism to this great game. I will be playing this game for a long long time, I have haulted playing GOW, Dark Messiah, Quake Wars, Manhunt, WWE, Viking and many other recently bought titles to play and explore this wonderful game. The even better thing is with this version of the game you get the two add ons as well for even more gaming which goes deeper into this magical world. I hope we get more of these amazing games, we need a Forgotten Realms game like this one an Icewind Dale with create your own party. The open world concept is amazing, real time, and real encounters with open enviroments. I never thought the writings of R.A. Salvadore or J.R. Tolkien would ever come to life better than Baulders Gate 1/2 or Icewind Dale 1/2 but Elder Scrolls Obilivion surpasses them all by miles. Best game ever made from an fantasy RPG standpoint. This gets better as you play it, and with each class, multi-class or created class of character there are whole news avenues to explore. I will play this for years to come. Multi-player in this would have been amazing too.

I had this on my PC, but it was a bit buggy on my (decently) high end system so I never played it.
We bought an X-box 360 this year so I thought I'd give the game another chance, and I find the game to be a pure delight. There are a few minor bugs here and there, and the load times are occasionally annoying, but otherwise it is a perfect RPG. There is tons of variety and you can spend your time doing whatever turns you on. It's nice to know I have the expansion content waiting for me as I'm quickly burning through the original content, and so will you, if you have time to play it!
This is a must own for new 360 owners, that's for sure.
Learn to play it & u'll enjoy it December 29, 2007

This my first time playing a role playing game. I've tried this one before but didn't understand it. After reading so many positive reviews I decided to be open minded and try it again.
If paid off. After about 30 mins I was addicted.
Pros
1) Real time play. As the journey progresses the changes between day & night are apparent with the sun, clouds, & rain.
2) If you don't want to take too long you can bypass traveling through being placed there in some cases. But that takes the fun out of it.
3)Visuals are extremely vivid, detailed, & come to life.
4)The expansion pack makes it bigger & better if you install it right. 5)The storyline is great to follow.
Cons
None

Dramaic opening sequency with narration by Patrick Stewart. Deep involving story line with hundreds of hours of game play and limitless replay value. If you have played Morrowind then you are familiar with the environment. The action is more fast paced and more graphic. The visuals are outstanding and the best part is so far with 100 hours of gameplay no freezing up or glitches like there was with Morrowind.
Good for the usual NON-gamer... January 7, 2008

Now, I have to start this out that before I bought my boyfriend Oblivion: GOTY, I refused to play on his x-box. All of the other games I've tried for this platform are shooter games, or racing games. To summarize, they were all very male oriented, and required a lot of coordination with the thumbs, which I do not have. Oblivion actually has a story, but also lets you free-play, and complete unrelated quests ad nauseaum. The graphics are good, and the map is realistic. There are probably thousands of hours of gametime in the one package, so it is well worth the money. A lot of fun, you work your brain at the same time.. Or you can make it into another military game, and just hack everything to bits. Your call. It's flexible like that.
