There are no words I can use to describe this open ended, role playing, action-adventure game!!! So lets get right into the review!

Story: Well there is no "one" story occuring in Oblivion. There are a bunch of conflicts, problems, and quests to embark on. The "main quest" starts you off as a prisoner(which is totally customizable). Without spoiling this great story lets just say that fate throws your character into an epic quest to save the world. It is the typical save the world story and it is written really well. This and the many other quests with their own unique stories can add up to about 60 hours of gameplay. After that there are still a ton of stuff to do!

Gameplay: I will admit the beginning of the game isn't amazing like the rest of the game because if you are not familiar with this franchise like me you will have no idea what you are doing. There is so much to learn you will feel overwhelmed by everything you need to memorize in this game. But after about 3-5 hours of playing you will get the hang of this game. There is no "one" way to play this game. You can go through the game killing enemies from a distance with a bow, you can hack and slash your way through with a sword, you can use magic to put your enemies to their ultimate demise, and if you want to you can do them all!

Sound: When you first enter the games opening menu the first thing to come to your head is the amazing soundtrack. The tunes fit the game perfectly! The voice acting can use a bit of work but other than that the game sounds amazing.

Graphics: In case you don't know I bought this game about 2 years after it was released. And whe you take your first step out of the sewers you will notice the breathtaking visuals. It is artistically and techinically a masterpiece. Due to the great visuals the game does have frequesnt and long loading times. It is nothing to fret about but for some people the loading times can last up to 15 seconds. The worst it has been for me is about 8-10 seconds. Looking at the graphics can sometimes take you out of the real world and make you think that you are really your character. And that is a great and scary feeling. :P

Value: This game will last you such a long time it is not even funny. I have spent easily over 100 hours on this game and it is amazing! There is nothing I can say about this besides if I had to pick one game to last the rest of my life, it would probably be this one. There are THAT MANY QUESTS IN THIS GAME!!!

DLC: This game has a bunch of downloadable content to come out. The prices are ranged from 80mp(Magic Tomes) all the way to 2600mp(Shivering Isles). All of them are great but one flaw to this is that after downloading something you will have a pop up everytime you start the game just to load the extra content. In the end it is totally worth it. If I had to make some recommendations they would be Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine.

You should've figured out by now that I love this game. This game is the third game I have ever given a perfect 10/10 to so this a great feat. This game is a must buy if you don't own it!
