The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Reviews

If you’re looking for a less favorable review of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, you won’t find it in the batch posted today. The first is at DarkZero with an overall score of 9.7/10:

If you loved Morrowind, you will probably want to have Oblivion’s babies! If you thought Morrowind had a few problems, Bethesda has fixed many of the big complaints they got from fans of the series (partially some of the clunkiness of the fighting system). There is nothing else quite like this on store shelves right now (and there probably won’t be till Elder Scrolls V).Oblivion is the best game available to play on your Xbox360 and will remain so until long after the day the console goes out of production. This is how gaming should be; Oblivion is nigh on perfection. A true evolution of the RPG genre.

The second is at Deadalfs with an overall score of 92%:

Just as MMOGs have evolved to cater for the sociable gamer, so have Bethesda used the single-player scope of Oblivion to its advantage, by delivering an epic story set amidst an equally impressive spider’s web of sub-quests, guild progression and freeform exploration. If the initial cinematics don’t suck you in first, then the breadth and scope of the game will. This is Morrowind reborn. and then some.

And the third is at TrustedReviews with an overall score of 9/10:

Easily one of the finest, most engaging RPGs of any era, and a stunning advert for the world-crafting capabilities of a new generation of games machine. If you have the time to spend, Oblivion has all the adventure you need to fill it.
