Excellent game for it's time. The scenery graphics are very good, but the character graphics are lacking a bit. Adjustable difficulty setting makes this an excellent game for gamers at all levels!

The reason I say that this game is better than Skyrim is because I honestly enjoyed this game WAY MORE than I did Skyrim. Yes the Xbox 360 had just come out and this was a game that had never been made before. It's gameplay and graphics were beyond anything we've seen, and the story was compelling and believable, unlike Skyrim. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Skyrim, but here is why this game trumps Skyrim: 1)Difficulty- This game's difficulty when played on normal is extremely more difficult than Skyrim. Yes, since the monsters' strength kept increasing when you leveled force me to stop leveling at a point, I did so for 2 reasons. I leveled to the point where the monsters were really hard. I also leveled myself to a point where I didn't get mad because the monsters were near impossible to kill, especially the weakest ones. Skyrim on the other hand, got way too easy after I leveled up the weapons and armor. No challenge at all and the gameplay and fulfillment from playing the game diminished. 2) Story- Although the dragons is Skyrim was interesting, I was never fully into the storyline. Add that to the lack of difficulty and I never thought the "World" was in danger. Oblivion, however, had a great storyline and difficulty to it and made it feel believable and that you were the one true savor. 3) Ending- Oblivion's ending was dramatic and amazing. Very difficult and very over the top in a good one. Skyrim- Very disappointing and too easy. When it ended, I was like, "Seriously?!" It's the same feeling that you get when you watch a movie and it ends too early or Mass Effect 3 (if you know what I mean). This game has replay value unlike Skyrim. I'm not sure how it holds up now to other games, but I gaurantee there's better games out there than Skyrim, and one of them is Oblivion.

very great game, though it is shorter than morrowind for the origional xbox. the main mission with sidequests was shorter than i expected, even with the added on content. the game is easy to play, and wonderfully detailed. the oblivion gates can seem repetative and often drawn out to long. the side mission range from escorting people to fight goblins, to my favorit mission, a house party where the goal is to kill all the quests or turn them against eachother and let the panic set in. overall a very good game worth the current price of $30. very detailed world full of items to find, and best of all if someone has something you want but can not afford, you could always pick pocket them or kill them and take it, be weary of guards though, they are a nuisance if you go to far out of line but nothing a good character cant handle. if you like this game i also recommend fallout 3 as well. same detail and freedom only it is set in a post appocolyptic world, and you have guns. very good quality just like bethesda company standards. keep up the great work.
