What our customer's say!

"Would have been a great game but....", When I started playing this game I automatically fell in love with it and it only gets better as you play along. It's a very long game so you get your moneys worth no doubt. I got very close to the end when I ran into a glitch in the game. Seems I'm not the only one with this problem as Bethesda has addressed it. In order to fix the problem anyone with the problem must go out and rent the non-game of the year edition, save at a certain point, work through the glitch then save again to hopefully get by the glitch. Not exactly the customer service I had expected from paying [...] for a game. Anywho you can finish the game, although troublesome as it is and not as fun, with the glitch. This was the reason why Bethesda would not offer any kind of compensation for the game fix. I would have given the game high marks if not for the glitch and Bethesdas poor response.

"Breakthrough game in the gaming industry", There have been games such as grand theft auto,halo and metal gear which have proven their worth in the gaming industry.But in terms of open world,hours of game play and replay value; this game has broken grounds and traditions in what a game really is. With endless possibilities and endings.This game lets you create who YOU want to be and what you want to do (in terms of an rpg game).This game is said to be over 200-400 hours long,so even though you think you been playing for a long time,think wrong.Cause i know that the side quests and caves will serve as a good distraction to you while you are on the main quest.More fun is added as you step into the world of the shivering isles where the Daedra god Sheogorath rules.Try not to get swept in his "madness" please.And help out the knights that protect cyrodil in the other expansion pack called "Nights of the Nine".Embark on a quest to dispel the evil and restore glory to those nights that praise the divines.You better have alot of time on your hands and dedication cause this game is worth it.Buy this game and may the Nine Divines guide you on your quest!Now all that's left is online play; hahaha :D

"As much fun on PS3 as it was on PC", I played Oblivion extensively on the PC when it first came out, but when I recently bought a Sony Play Station 3 for the primary purpose of playing Blu-ray discs, I decided to try Oblivion out on the new platform. While I loved the game before, I was always frustrated that I was never able to play the game on my computer on the highest video settings. Plus, playing the game meant sitting at my computer, something that I already was doing to excess.

So, I've been liberated from my desk chair and resituated in my easy chair and instead of playing on a small computer monitor with lowered video settings I'm playing on a 46 inch high def screen with a 1080 resolution. Visually, the game is simply stunning in high def. It was gorgeous even on lowered settings, but maxed out it is just delightful to look at. I have never, ever played console games before, so this was my first experience with the PS3 control. I found none of it intuitive or familiar. By the time my first character hit level 10, however, I had pretty much mastered every aspect of the control.

Apart from the graphics and the control, this is pretty much the same game I enjoyed so much on the PC. This is both a good and bad thing. It is good because this is one of the best games I've ever played. I have played extensively both Asheron's Call and World of Warcraft, and loved the enormous size of both games, while also deploring a lot of the irritating people who pollute online games. Oblivion has something of the same size and enormity an MMRPG, without the irritating people. Personally, I don't play games as a social activity, so the absence of people to play with isn't a negative at all.

The one huge change from my PC experience is that I played only the first game expansion and not the Shivering Isles addition. Wow! It is a huge addition to the original game. Not only do you get new quests, you get an entire new realm to explore. Visually Dementia and especially Mania bring a strikingly different addition to the original game. I'm still exploring the new world (I've finished the first dozen or so quests in the expansion, but still have many, many to go -- how many I've yet to discover).

I mentioned that you also get the negatives found in the original PC game. This is the tendency of many of the quests to break. Every time I've played a character in the game, I've run into a broken quest. On the PC you get fixes (either official or otherwise) that correct the problems. So far I've been unable to find fixes for the PS3 version. The broken quests can vary from game to game. One time I played the corpse that I was supposed to discover in a dungeon simply wasn't there. I had done that quest before with a different character and knew precisely how to finish the quest, but on the spot where the corpse was supposed to be was nothing (the green arrow on my screen pointed to an empty spot). In the game that I am playing right now on the PS3, the witch that cures my vampirism won't acknowledge the presence of Bloodgrass in my inventory. I've tried Bloodgrass both from shops and from the plains of Oblivion, but to no avail. So, I've been forced to play the game as a vampire. In the Shivering Isles add on you meet a character named Big Head who gives you a quest. But after learning of the quest I ran a few steps to the north, exploring the town when I got the message that Big Head was dead and the quest cancelled. His corpse remains there right in the middle of town. I also have a wonderful ring that I received as a reward for a quest completed that I am neither able to equip nor sell.

Despite these flaws, this is a great, great game. I loved it on the PC and I love it on the PS3.

I thought I would take a second and share one hint to newcomers to the game. From the very beginning, emphasis raising your Alchemy, but do not specialize in it. Go to every shop that sells alchemical ingredients and buy all of them. You can then sell back the potions that you make. If you keep doing this you will quickly make enough money to buy houses in all of the cities in all of the towns offering a residence. You will also get some great potions that you can use in combat. I don't recommend specializing because it will cause your character to level as you raise your alchemy skill. It is important to level through your combat skills so that you won't constantly get killed. As you level you fight tougher and tougher opponents, but if you are leveling through non-combat skills you will not be able to fight as well as creatures on your same level. You'll find that even if you don't specialize in alchemy, it will probably be the first skill you max out.

All in all, a great game regardless of platform. My only complaint are those broken quests. And if your first love in gaming is RPGs, this is your only really great option on a PS3. I don't like racing games or 3D shooters, so this could be the last PS3 game I buy in a long, long time.

"Fun", I really liked this game. It was was awesome being able to choose to be good or evil. The game of the year edition is massive. I have played it for a month on and off and still have a ton of the game left to explore and complete. This is one of those games you will buy and not have to buy another game for quite some time (in other words a money saver!)

"Wow...", I've played the PC version, and had some problems with installing the expansions. Finally, I gave up and decided to break down and pick up a PS3, and this game. When they arrived, I set everything up, and I'm not looking back! This is a great port. I haven't noticed any serious glitches, the sound and graphics are OUTSTANDING! This is a must have for any RPG fans that own a PS3!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"The love-hate relationship continues...", I've always wanted to just dive into the PC RPG experience, but every time I have (usually with the "Ultima" series, but there have been a few others), I've left with a lukewarm feeling. I had hoped that "Oblivion" would finally be the game that got me over the hump. But alas, while "Elder Scrolls IV" is a very fun and engrossing game, it still suffers from many of the pitfalls of its PC predecessors, and also has one more wrinkle to boot. But let's begin with:

The Good:
Story: Non-existent. Now, why is that good? Because the player isn't forced to follow some silly linear quest for the duration of the game. Yes, "Oblivion" has a sort of main focus, but it really can be pushed to the sidelines, sue to the incredible amount of other things to do. I mean, seriously, one can
1) Join a Mage's/Fighter's/Thief's/Assassin's guild
2) Run around as a hero-for-hire
3) Attempt to make money to buy houses and the like
4) Hunt in one of the uncountably infinite number of ruins/forts/caves/mines/dungeons to be found in the game
5) Become a gladiator
etc. etc.

This game is HUGE. And I love it for that.

2) Battle mechanics: I've rarely been a fan of the first person slash game, but "Oblivion" gets it right. Enemies move fast, and while some enemies act remarkably stupidly, others will fight well. You can devise your own style of play as well. Are you one that likes to run into the fray screaming? Do you like to fire off spells or arrows from afar? Do you prefer to stalk your prey and slash in the darkness? Take your pick.

3) Character development: I spent an hour just designing my character's physical appearance. Yet "Oblivion" allows you to also develop their traits, their race, their skills - heck, even their birthsign is a big deal. And the game allows you to expand on their abilities, creating a very personalized character. I myself prefer slinking around in the night, and killing my prey up close. Thus, instead of using one of the many pre-made character classes, I instead created the "skulk". You can do whatever you want. Want to be a reptile that breathes underwater, is an incredibly wizard, and can wield a mace? be my guest. Want to be an elf who fights with a sword? No one's stopping you. Want to be a vampire? You can even do THAT in time.

Sounds great, right? In short, the world of "Oblivion" is huge and varied. You can play for days without ever touching the main quest. Heck, I haven't even bothered with the expansions.

Unfortunately, not all that glitters is gold. Here's the bad:

1) The levelling system: Without a doubt, this has taken the most heat, and it is ALL deserved. Mostly, the reviewers here have complained that whenever you level, so too does the world around you. But really, this doesn't fully explain the trouble here. So, instead, I choose to give an example (apologies: I will expose one small end to a large quest).

While advancing in the mage's guild, I noticed that I hadn't been levelling up. Not a big deal, as my character was an assassin mostly, and so level should matter that much (if a child sneaks up on you and cuts your throat, you're still going to die). However, I was faced with the so-called King of Worms, and lord of all necromancers. He saw me, and there was no way my level 1 character was going to win. Right? Ummm, no - he brandished a dagger, I sported a sword, and the battle lasted a little over 30 seconds. I had vanquished arguably one of the most powerful denizens of the world, and was rewarded greatly.

This in and of itself is really unbelievable, but it gets worse. Afterward, I decided, "What the hey?" and leveled myself to level 10. And as it turns out, I couldn't even beat the guardians of the king, let alone the master himself. That's right - leveling my character actually made me WEAKER in the end.

And that is the rub. "Oblivion" is simply broken. Keep your character at level one, and you will ensure that you clear pretty much any quest in the game. Level your character normally, and expect a real challenge. It's not as bad as some have mentioned, but it certainly makes for a longer and more tedious game, as you must recollect armor, weaponry, etc. This is a MAJOR weakness. It is silly that a level one character can defeat anything thrown at him. It is even sillier that a level 10 character suddenly cannot.

2) Graphics: It's like looking in a funhouse mirror. I despise the creepy figures with which I am accosted in every town. It is obvious that the developers spent a lot of time and effort in designing the most realistic-looking people they could find. It is also apparent that we have a LONG way to go. I would have preferred more canned people to the horrors in the game.

3) Voice acting: Ugh. Painful. There are like 5 voices used for the plethora of characters you will see throughout the game. It is a horror. Moreover, because of one particular skill (speechcraft), you can bet that you'll hear these voices saying the SAME lines, over and over again. How many times I've heard "Blah blah blah - what a bore" from some incredibly lame voice, I can't even count. And the nonsense they blather - you would think that americans would write better conversation. It would seem that they spent their time writing tomes and tomes of useless books rather than spending quality time developing the characterization of the NPCs inhabiting "Oblivion".

4) Glitches: Bad ones. One time, the load screen appeared, and the PS3 simply froze. I actually had to unplug the system to unfreeze it. That's really bad.Clipping issues abound, particularly when swimming in caves, but this is to be expected. Sometimes, weird stuff happens (a soldier walking on air attacked and killed me, because I couldn't guard from his attacks). This is expected somewhat - I've never found a PC game without such glitches, and in the end, mostly nonfatal. However, I don't like anything that freezes up my entire system.

While a couple of the points might be nitpicky, the first is not. The leveling system is an abomination. I can't fault the developers too much for this - they were trying to make a truly non-linear experience, the holy grail of RPGs. But, the leveling system is a complete and total failure. The fact is, there is NO reason that my character should be weaker because he levels. None. And yet, here we are.

Long story short - this is a fine game, and one of the best for the PS3. But it isn't without its major problems. A player might become overwhelmed if he isn't careful with the leveling.

"AN ALL-TIME GREAT", I just recently bought the Game of the Year Edition for PS3, and to answer the burning question, YES, YOUR SAVED GAME FROM ELDER SCROLLS OBLIVION WILL TRANSFER OVER TO THE GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION. The GOTY edition contains Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine. To play Shivering Isles, all you have to do is WAIT or SLEEP for 24 hours and a quest is updated and a marker on your map will appear. How easy is that! And Knights of the Nine, I'm told you are to talk to the prophet outside the chapel in Anvil. Sorry for all that, just trying to help out some of the Oblivion fans. As for my review of the game, AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE, AWESOME. This is the best game I've seen since Zelda Ocarina of Time, and YES, I have played GTA IV! Just pick this game up, although I reccommend getting the Game of the Year Edition for the extra content. AND PLEASE, get the game for PS3! I've played both versions, 360 and PS3, and the PS3 version just looks fantastic. The 360 version, alright, but pails in comparison to the PS3 version. 5 out of 5! GET IT!!!

"Very addictive", This game is incredibly detailed, with lush visuals, atmospheres, and music. You can complete quests at your own whim, without any restrictive rules or measures that are usually a part of RPG-type games. This is probably the best game I have played besides Dragonquest VIII, which is a bit more fun and whimsical. It is easy to play this without realising how much time has actually passed by -- very addictive.

"Get This Game!", This game is vast with a huge array of characters to interact with and quests to undertake. I bought it for my husband as a birthday present but we try to share it equally in order to to maintain a stable marriage! I love this game, the detail is remarkable - in the variety of buildings, the scenery outdoors, the plants and the people/creatures along the way. My husband, who has been a Dungeon Master in D&D, is more interested in the stats than I am, I'm just in it for the ride and find it very entertaining and hugely enjoyable - I strongly recommend this game!

"I guess I'm one of the only ones who doesn't get it", I know that I will be disagreed with from the start but i felt the need to do this review after rushing out to get this game from these 5 star Amazon reviews & being left disappointed. Here is why:
I need to start by saying that I am not an avid gamer who plays his ps3 all the time and hooks up to the internet. I just want a game I can play after i get home from work - that type of thing.
Oblivion seems to be anything but that. It is SO full of details and subplots that to even attempt to solve this game w/out having a FAQ or guide by you is a total joke. You have an overwhelming amount of mini-battles and other quests that the game prompts you to do as you stroll along but here is my question: how would you know what to accept or where to go with all this side stuff popping up and giving you the option to divert you? You are given so many options like pop-ups that you have a general idea of where to walk and who to talk to but once you get in that vicinity-good luck! I hope you plan on lots of trial and error and just plain being stuck. i abandoned this game when I got to point where it told me to get somewhere but when you bring up the map and scrolled over the city name it would not zap me there. Great, now a bug?
Just like when you are in the Oblivion relam and there are quests you can do inside depending on which door you choose. You have no idea how to solve this game w/out outside help.
And then there are the times you have to waste 15 min watching someones face change as you tell them jokes or lies just in hopes to barter (gee how fun) which may not work out anyways. Way too many options, way too many diferent outcomes. Those two things would be superb if you had any guidance as to how to solve the initial quest. Plus this GOTY edition is supposed to come with two bonus games. Guess what? You gotta play Oblivion anways just to try and access those games - one of which i never even got prompted to begin playing!

I personally enjoyed Assassins creed and Uncharted alot better than this game. Maybe die hard D&D fans or people who play online w/ others for guidance & help would enjoy this more than I did. I see no possible way to solve this on your own in any efficient matter of time and not too far into the game I needed to print out step by step FAQ just to figure out who to talk to, what door to walk thru, etc. Where is the fun in that? Even after playing around w/ the game for a while and getting familiar w/ it I was still just left confused.

Ps - I don't want to sound like a big whiner. The graphics are awesome, you can build your charcater however you want but that is another thing - if you have no idea what you are doing (like me) the way you build it from the start could severly limit what you can do during the game causing you to have to start over after a while due to your limitations w/ that build of charcter.
Many different voices which sound like pros and you can do things like wait-out time (you can 'sleep' within a 24 hr frame), change what your character is wearing or holding . Once again - if you have a game where you need to "sleep" till another time just to wait and interact with them.....this game is VERY detail oriented and time consuming with every little detail needing to be attended to.
The bottom line is that I had fun exploring for a bit but you need more than a compass to point you in the right direction. Having options is great and needed but if you are given too many and it decides how your game will end ...I just can't see how you would ever know that you stayed on a correct path w/out a Strategy guide or FAQ.

i really wish I rented this game before purchaing it. You even need a FAQ just to guide you how to initially build your own charcter! UUGGHH!
Give me Prince of Persia or God of War anyday!
