There is a reason it is a Game of the Year.

More epic than Morrowind. i like the ability to teleport to any town from anywhere, once you have been there once. also i like that the enemies that scale to your level (you'll never encounter a challenging, higher level monster) which means that you can wonder around with out worrying if your in the right 'area'.
i have spent over 80 hours and not even touched the main story line.

Bethesda delivers another great game.

Bethesda delivers another great game in the Elder Scrolls saga, yet not as "epic" as Morrowind. This is still a great game, but feels less challenging and less rewarding than the previous title due to the ability to teleport to any town from anywhere, enemies that scale to your level (you'll never encounter a challenging, higher level monster) loot seemed more rewarding both in how you obtained it and the stats on the loot itself. I would definitley recommend this game without a doubt. The graphics are amazing, The game world is immense, The story is interesting, you can have tons of fun without even doing the main quest. I just wanted to let people know that I think a lot of the hype for this game was over the graphics, first and foremost, and also the media coverage in the game industry, and from console fanboys.

Oblivion is one of the best games I've played for a long time. I bought it because I saw my friend playing it and i was not dissapointed. There is so much to do in the game and so many places to go. There is a great replayability on oblivion because there is no way you could see everything the game has to offer in one game file. A definite must play for those who love RPGs.

Amazing game

This is one of the best games i have played. It has great graphics and a great soundtrack. It has probably around one hundred hours of gameplay with the main storyline, all of the side quests and the two additional storylines included in the expansion packs adding even more hours of gameplay.

Best RPG. Period.

Oblivion has got to be one of the greatest video games of all time. I was hooked after the first hour of gameplay. With the release of the GOTY edition you can have the original game along with the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions. This is a must buy for 360 owners. Good if you weren't into RPG's when Oblivion was first released.

This is one of the greatest games ever, you can do anything and go anywhere you want or you could follow the story. Endless options/opportunitys. It wasnt voted game of the year for nothing. I recommend it to everyone, all ages. The graphics are insane, the charactors are incredible. Its a whole new world inside your console.

This is a great game for all those people who love to customize your player in almost anyway possible. This game could take you anywhere from a month of non-stop play to 3 or more of a couple hours a day. Overall fun interactive game, and P.S. get the one with the shivering isles because i didnt and now i cant keep going.

Another wonderful game from Bethesda.

I've played all of the Elder Scrolls games and this one doesn't disappoint but it lacks the overall depth of the previous games. The areas do re-spawn the enemies and will get tougher as your character levels up but the quests become dull as the game goes on. The main quest is long but not very fruitful as the story is intersting but not very creative. It feels more of a chore to finish the main story but this doesn't take away from the overall game. Class structure can limit or reward you if you match your character traits to your style of play. Leveling is based upon your usage of a skill, more sword play and you level it up, that sort of thing. The game feels dumbed down compared the previous in terms of skills and upgrading. However, this game does improve on the fighting system, which becomes more of a focus in this game. The character developement through choosing which guilds to join are quite enjoyable with nice story lines to follow and quest items that are worth achieving. The add-ons are worthy as well, with the Shivering Isles being an excellent story.

The best game of all time period

This is probably the best game of all time. You can have 200 hours of gameplay on this game and not have finished every possible thing. Another good thing about the game of the year edition is it cost as much as the normal edition, but it has the expansions to so you dont have to pay for those.

This game is just the best by far RPG for the 360. The expansion packs in this game of the year edition makes it even better. This game has lots of weapons and many many dungeons to explore. Endless action. Just buy it.

My Favorite Xbox 360 Game

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is by far my favorite game I have for the Xbox 360. I bought this game last summer and was addicted from the moment I started playing. This was the first real RPG I've every played, and I really got sucked in. I've created three or four characters, and each of them have led to a unique game experience. The add-ons are amazing as well, as they include new creatures and characters and even some new areas. I love the freedom to do whatever you want to as well.
I picked the game back up this summer, and have played it just as much as I did last summer. In my new adventures, I've discovered much more about the game, completing quests and finding places I never knew about before. It's really made me wonder if it's even possible to do every single quest in the game. I will not be taking this game to the trade-in store like I usually do with most of my games.
This game is so fun, I even got my girlfriend to play with me. That really says a lot.

Oblivion is the greatest RPG of all time!

I am sorry, but for everyone who says this game is too short is messed up. This game is very long. Way longer than Fable 2 and Fallout 3. The detail is very good for being a 2007 game. I mean come on you can't expect this game to have perfect graphics in 2007 can you?

Addictive game! Starts off a little slow but it picks up and you wont want to stop. There are lots of options for creating your character and just a ton of quests. Excellent replay value.

TES IV : Oblivion is deffently one the best RPG's I've ever played. The only drawback is that it's too short and fairly easy to compleat. Still It's a great game and the graphics are outstanding and anyone whoes plays RPG's should buy this game.

I have had so much fun with this game. It is full of endless possibilities. The main storyline is great, but ones attention is easily diverted due to all the fun and sometimes challenging side missions. Character progress is essential if one wants to beat the game. Upgrades to character, magic, and skill are all accomplished through performing you core strengths throughout the game. It is an awesome setup that takes some practice, but when mastered, makes for intense and fun game play. I highly recommend this game to all who consider themselves true RPG fans. Note those who didn't like this game, don't understand the purpose of RPG play. They are shallow brained.

This game is one of the best ive bought in a long time. If your a big gamer you really want to buy this game. The only problem i have found with it was that the horses steering was a bit weird. Also the horses are priced a little too high. What i like about the game is that it has a great story line and many side quests. The Arena is a brilliant idea. If you keep dieing you can lower the difficulty through the options menue if you press the start button on your controler. In conclusion this game is recomended to any gamer that likes a challenge or if you just want to smash stuff, it will suit your gameing needs for a long time.
