I'm not sure where to start when reviewing Oblivion, it's just so big, so immense, and so immersive.

Let's start with the basic gameplay. It's an action RPG, but not a usual one. You can do quests, kill monsters, level up, or just explore. The real meat of the game is in it's exploration. You always will find something interesting to check out, be it ruins, a village, castle, fort or just a wooded area. The game features a world over 16 square miles big, so you will always have something to do. The game has a special tool called "RealTree" that it uses to create lifelike forests. It was created by Bethesda, who researched how trees and plants grow. The combat can be a bit clunky at times, but overall it's still very fun.

Now let's tackle the length of Oblivion. It can be 15 hours long, it can be 150 hours long, whatever you want. There are literally dozens of quests in the game for you to do, and skills for you to upgrade. You can literally play for hundreds of hours without even TOUCHING the main quest. It's that big.

The story is a bit simple, but it's good. An emporor has been assassinated, and it's up to you to find his heir to the throne.

There are several guilds for you to join, including the Arena, Dark Brotherhood, Blades, Mage's Guild, Theive's Guild, and Fighter's Guild. They all have a variety of quests and individual storylines for you to follow and rank up through, each rank being an acheivement for your Xbox Live Gamertag.

All in all, oblivion is one BIG game to take under your hood. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming. If you're a gamer that can sit down for hundreds of hours and play this masterpeice, then go for it. If you're a casual gamer, stay away. rolleyes.gif

Final Verdict:

Oblivon is one of the biggest games ever made, and will destroy your social life. It is personally one of my favorite games of all time, and is a marvel of modern gaming.

I give it a perfect 10 out of 10, and my highest reccomendation.
