What our customer's say!

"Extremely fun, entertaining, but creatures take 70 hits...", First of all, this game was one of the most fun and enjoyable games I've ever played in my life. The landscape was amazing, everything was very detailed, there are tons of quests you can go on, and there are hundreds of caves, dungeons, and ruins that you can explore. There are a couple things that bother me though. Number 1: Creatures level up with you. Let's say that you're in level one and pretty much at that level you fight goblins, imps, crabs, and weak bandits. As you level up you don't fight them anymore. Then, once you get into level 30, all's you fight are goblin warlords, very strong demons, bandits that have the nicest armor you can get in the game (which I think is extremely dumb because bandits are practically like thieves and thieves wear light armor), and just very strong creatures. Say goodbye to the old goblins and crabs. No more of them to fight. I guess they just all disappear for some unknown reason. Number 2: Everything takes 70 hits! You can slash a bandit about 40 times with a 2-handed sword when you're in level 1 and it doesn't show any kind of slash mark on their armor or body. They don't even have a reaction to your hits most of the time. All's they do is go, "Ow!" or "Uh!" Other than those 2 things, this game is very addicting and there are always quests to go on, dungeons to explore, and things to do. This game kept me busy for about 3 or 4 months and I still sometimes play it. Believe me, you won't regret buying this game except for the 2 reasons above. I hope this is helpful!


"Not much fun", I played for a few weeks and it never got interesting or fun. I was dragging myself through it because other people said it was so great. The caves were repetitive and easy to get lost in. The save states were pretty horrid. You never knew if what you were doing will get your in trouble with the guards. You gain skill so slowly that I didn't feel any better off the last day than the first day.

"The Best Game Ever", I was playing WoW and got tired of the continual hack and slash, the stress of being ganged up on and killed continually, and not being able to do many of the cooler quests alone. I started searching and saw a review on this game. I called my brother-in-law and sister to ask for their advice. They said they were getting a new computer just so they could play Oblivion on it again (something happened to their old system). That was enough for me to try!

At first, the cave experience was a little weird. I've never played this type of RPG and although the story was enticing, the fighting part in the cave was tricky. My sister said hang in there until you get out into the world. She was right. Oh. My. The Oblivion world is this massive, beautiful place!

As I progressed in the game, I started falling in love with it. The storyline is compelling, the quest lines well thought out, and the world is huge with so many many things to do.

The game wouldn't be the same without the modding world. Thank you Bethsoft for allowing your community to mod your games. This capability has added tons more play power to this world - I just don't have words to describe how much the modding community has added to this game. Mods truly personalize your world for you - how you play, what extras you'd like to see, and adds new lands or quests you'd like to explore. I've got 700 hours in this game, and am not even nearly done with it yet. One truly gets their money's worth with this game.

The game is emotional - you'll get attached to certain characters, hate others, feel sadness when certain things happen, you'll be excited and happy and shocked as you complete quest lines and find out how stories end and others begin...Oblivion truly leaves an unforgettable impact.

"A very impressive piece of work, a tribute to the Elder Scrolls series", Having wasted a fair portion of my life on Morrowind, I decided to pick up this game before knowing anything about it. As you may have already seen through searches and screenshots, it looks absolutely amazing.

For a review in short, it is everything you loved about Morrowind. Open ended quests, huge environments, customizable classes and characters and a game you can loose weeks on and never miss them at all.

It also fixes everything you hated about Morrowind. Goodbye useless quest log and the need to wander the same roads over and over again. The journal system is completely redone and allows quick access to the paths of a specific quest you want to work on. Also, the fast travel feature makes moving between places you previously visited as simple as clicking.

While the true requirements of this game may be a bit heavy computerwise, you see every bit of it put to work. The landscapes are amazing to the point of making postcards out of them. For those who own computers not quite up to snuff, there are mods out there to improve performance for slower machines as well.

I have been playing this game for several weeks now and have barely scratched the surface. And, for people who blow through it quickly or get bored easily, it gets even better. The fan created mods for this game are amazing. If you dislike the leveled enemy system (as one reviewer obviously does) the are at least three different mods out there which can adjust the leveling system and enemy difficulty system in ways to make the game more suitable for you.

If you dislike the system of hiding behind a shield and wacking the monsters here and there, go and get one of the improved combat mods. You will find yourself able to backflip, shieldbash, dodge and more.

The list of fan based improvements goes on and on, but you see the point. Oblivion is an absolutely huge game filled with amazing textures, light effects, and more then enough graphical eye candy to keep you occupied for years to come.

"A game that takes a powerful pc to play but is well worth it.", Before i talk about how amazing this game plays and looks i have to let you know that you will most likely have to upgrade your pc to run it.I had to upgrade almost every aspect of my pc to get this game to run at its full potential.I have a Dual core 3.4Ghz Pentium D processor,640MB Video card,2Gb Ram,16x Dvd drive,300Gb Hard drive and a 600watt power supply.When all the eye candy is turned on and all the draw distance is set to max you realy get a sense that you are in a living,breathing world.The look and feel of this game will make your jaw drop and your heart skip a beat,yes it's that beautiful.Deer run through the fields of grass,bugs fly around,the sun glares down on you,the clouds move slowly through the sky,wolves and other wild beasts stalk you and in the distance you can see the mountains covered in snow.As for the gameplay you start out as a prisoner and make yourself look like anything you could imagine.You progress through the prison underground and eventualy find you are given a chance to change the look and feel of yourself before you leave the sewer.Once you leave the sewer you begin your quest to close the oblivion gates that have opened all over the world.The main quest is good but it doesn't take that long to complete it if you dedicate yourself.The story of the game is compelling but you will find yourself having the most fun on the sidequest missions.You can choose to do or not do any mission you please and can do anything you want in the order you desire.Become a cold blooded killer for hire by joining the dark brotherhood,start a life of sneaking and theft by teaming up with the thieves guild or dedicate your life to finding and destroying blood suckers by becoming a vampire hunter,it's up to you.This game gives you the freedom to do pretty much anything your heart desires but there are a few things you cant do.In Elder scrolls III Morrowind you had the ability to kill ANYBODY you wanted,this was fun but messed up the game in a big way if you killed the wrong person so this feature has been taken out of Oblivion.There are some people in this game that will not die no matter what you do,this keeps the game from being ruined by one stupid mistake.The other feature that was in Morrowind but has been taken out of Oblivion is a spell that lets you fly.The ability to cast a flying spell was a good feature in Morrowind because it made it easier to get from place to place but in Oblivion you can simply fast travel so the flying spell becomes useless and has been removed.I have had this game for many months now and have beaten the main quest but still find new things to do and secret passages to explore.Even if you dont buy the Shivering Isles or Knights of the nine expansion packs you will have tons of things to do and places to see.Buy this game and say goodbye to your friends and family for a while because you will get lost in Oblivion for many months to come.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"If you enjoyed Lands of Lore!", Years after discovering Lands of Lore 2 and the somewhat disapointing 3, I find the Elder Scrolls series. I had no idea the games where so simular. Comming more than ten years after Lands of Lore, and not connected in anyway that I know, Oblivion is certainly a far advanced game, but offers a similar experience for those fond of the LOL series.

Oblivion can be played in view like a first person shooter (although this is an RPG adventure) or in third person (console game style.) I prefer the first person, it's more engrosing and fits better with the keyboard control. Since this is an X-box and PS3 title as well it would have been nice if you could use a controler rather than a mouse and keyboard (although, my sidewinder sucks so maybe a controller you could assign keyboard keys to would work?)

This game is instantly engrossing. You start off with minimal introduction and get right into things. But, no hurry, you many wonder and do what you will when you will and work on the main quest when you feel like it.

You can go anywhere in this huge, huge, huge world, anywhere at all, there are no boundries and every door lock can be picked (at risk of arrest and loss of some skill after serving jail time!)

The graphics are outstanding, nearly photo quality but even my Dual-core 1.8 AMD 64 bit processor, my NVIDIA Go 7000 256mg graphic card and high-res monitor have a hard time in the complex grass and trees. Fortunately you can tone down just the grass and tree effects so the dungeons and towns (which run much easier) can be seen in higher resolutions.

Sound is best with a surround speaker set up or head phones, However, my notebook's Altec Lansing soundstrip (4.1 surround on a notebook!) does quite nicely!

This game runs best on a 2.0 gig duel core processor or higher, 1gig of memory (at least! I have 2.)and the best, fasted graphics card you can find. My sytsem has a HDMI conector and I plan on trying this game on my 42" HDTV soon, should look spectacular.

You can't not get lost in this game, it's tremendous and seemingly limitless. Although, again, slower computers will have to sacrifice graphics. Oh, and here's a glitch on this and some other games, if I turn on anit-alias support, my sound card stutters.

A must have for RPG fans and far superior to games like DOOM!



"Pretty but a bit shallow inside", The elder scrolls series has been one of the best rpgs available on PC. The three predecessors of Oblivion all set the bar at the time for the rpg genre. Oblivion's graphics is top notch. No question about that. But once you look beyond that, the game is very repetitive and uninteresting. Oblivion boasts its combat system, melee or ranged. Here's how it goes in gameplay. Melee combat mostly involves landing a hit then blocking then repeat until the enemy dies. Ranged fighters are in for a real fight because the stealth abilities are very poorly developed. No matter the distance away or your sneak ability, many human and especially non human enemies can easily locate your archer hiding in a dark corner and automatically lock on you. While they chase you, they'll also call out to their surrounding allies to corner the archer. I don't know if anyone else was able to anticipate this. But my supposedly "stealthy" archer probably engaged in the same amount of melee combat as a warrior character. Mages are probably overpowered. With some mana potions, a high level mage can easily clear the capital city, guards, citizens and everyone else included in 5 to 10 minutes. The quests can be interesting at first. But after a while, they really seem to be the same. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that if you try to do the main quest, you'll find yourself repeating one task over many, many, many times. The side quests are plenty. But they appear to be of little relevance to the story or character development. As I finish them, I often find myself asking the question, "why did I just spend an hour on that quest again?" The leveling system is quite complex for beginners. The rate of leveling is determined by how often you use combat and/or other skills. At medium and high levels, the number of times you have to use a skill grows astronomical before you can advance a level. You may find yourself using a skill not for a sake for gameplay but simply for leveling. For example, how you would feel after pressing the jump button 700 times before you gain a level in acrobatics at a medium high level?

The weakest of point of this game, in my opinion, is the storyline. The previous titles in the elder scrolls series offered very intriguing and complex storyline that would grab your attention from the start to finish. Treachery, manipulation, politics, religion, sex, slavery, war, history and many other issues are weaved seamlessly into the earlier titles. As you play through the game, you become more and more immersed in the massive world of Elder Scrolls. If you played the previous title, Morrowind, I think you might understand my point better here. Oblivion, on the other hand, puts forth a story that I could see through from the get go. There are very little twists and turns. If I had to summarize, I'd say, the game was about killing monsters in demon gates and repeating that many times. I think in order to appeal to a greater fan base, Bethesda made a very conscious effort to make the game very mainstream. The end result is a collection of pretty pictures with little depth and a boring storyline, called Oblivion.

"Prepare to Enter Oblivion.....you will never be the same!", After a long time viewing this game, reading reviews, and looking at forums about how much of a gaming system you need to even run this, I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, my system I currently have is "under" the recommended system requirements. I say recommended, because the "minimum" will be inadequate to even get this game to run properly. There are ways around this, however (Oldblivion will alow you to run this game on older graphics cards), and this is what prompted me to buy it.I am totally hooked now by this game, and anyone who is a RPG fan will enjoy this. Below is my breakdown of the game:

Highs: The graphics are outstanding (even when tweaking this game, I'm totally impressed). Gameplay is smooth and combat a major plus. Atmospheric in it's entire presentation, Oblivion draws you in. I have audibly caught my breah on several occassions playing this game. Sound is exceptional, and properly executed where appropriate. Voice acting is spot on, and the "radiant AI" system makes the NPC's in the game come alive. A living, breathing world is yours to enjoy at your leisure. Finish the main quest when you choose. The "sandbox" gaming is a pleasure to experience, and you can complete the game when you feel it's time. Many hours of playability from the side quests to just exploring the countryside are yours to do with as you please.

Lows: Of course as everyone else has said, the system requirements will make your computer choke to death. Some (okay, lots) of glitchs are also around the game. Crashes are infrequent (for me, anyway), so always save your game at regular intervals. I recommend tweaking this game and getting the program "Oldblivion" for those of us that don't have the latest graphics cards. My machine: eMachine 2.93 ghz, 80 gb hard drive, GeForce FX5200 graphics card with Oldblivion installed and other mods to help with "grass clipping" and other issues. Runs at 89 fps indoors, around 30 fps outdoors (hint: turn anti aliasing OFF).

Overall: Great game with a little patience on your part. Once it runs to your satisfaction, you will be hooked in to the world of Oblivion. Hours in the outside world will pass without a trace. Don't forget to eat, sleep and drink on occasion, and yes, see your family and friends. Heck, get them involved in playing, too. :o)

"Incredible game", I thought Morrowind was terrific and couldn't be topped but Oblivion is just "it" when it comes to massive RPGs. I played and am still playing Morrowind and I expect to be playing Oblivion for years to come. Just a few issues with CTDs and Oblivion really does need a better computer system in order to be fully enjoyed but it can and does run on lower end system. I have an AMD XP 2500 (1.8 ghz) GeForce 6200 256MB, 1 gig RAM, Windoze XP SP2, not the best system but Oblivion does run and looks good and I can play it just fine.

"Minimum requirements? HA!", As others have mentioned, the minimum requirements listed on the box are a joke. I bought a new computer LAST WEEK, and it certainly meets all the requirements listed, but the game won't even load up -- money wasted. So unless you've got/can afford a top-of-the-line, brand-spanking-new $2500 computer, don't bother. (And I'd recommend even those people away, just for the fact that the requirements listed are an outright lie -- don't support false advertising.)
