The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

potzergaeren's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Collector's Edition), The (Xbox 360) review

Settle in...Oblivion's gonna eat up your life for a while.

oblivion does everything well. name it...the answer is hell yes. i could go on about the beautiful environments the excellent stories, the character depth in design, the online aspects, or the great combat. i'm not going to tho.

for me this game is all about immersion. the first time i wandered into a goblin lair and i saw the giant rat being roasted on a stick, the lines of skulls hanging from the cave ceiling and the guard so close my heart tried to stop...well i knew then i'd stumbled onto something special here.

oblivion will eat your life if you let it. be careful. now to the technical- graphics- stellar
collision detection- stellar
menus- little complicated for my taste
mechanics- perfect in every way
physics- a touch squirrely but nothing that can't be ignored.

go get oblivion, you won't be sorry....unless you have a job that you won't be going to for a while.

    The first thing that strikes you when you start this game up is that it’s a pretty big one. Oblivion’s location of Cyrodiil is big... Huge. And not to mention diverse. Without the in-game map you’d almost definitely lose your bearings as soon as you so much as changed direction and your jaw is very liable to fall of at the first sight of the environment from the very moment you find the exit to the sewers, where the story starts; mountains, forests and lakes – all in the same vista. It is so...
