Overall Rating

- Graphics

- Addiction Level

- Multi-playerNo
The storyline for the main quest in Oblivion is very good, and it keeps you wanting to go further. The same to the various side quests.
The graphics are very good, and they are some of the best I've seen.
Combat is nice and easy to learn.
You can do nearly anything you want.
Bad Points
Sometimes the screen glitches and pauses because of the large amount of data your Xbox 360 is copying from the disk.
Can get repetitive and boring after a while. It seems hard to find quests to begin.
There's no children in the game, only adults.
Something's missing, but I just can't point it out.
They're no capes in the game. Something which would have been nice.
General Comments
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is an Xbox 360 game which I enjoy, but it can sometimes feel like a bore.
As soon as you step inside the world, you'll notice how good the graphics are, but I felt the Xbox 360 could have done better. When the grass blows in the breeze when you're on a country lane, it looks very fake if you're in first person camera mode. The sand beside the lakes or rivers looks immense though, and I could just sit there looking at it all day long.
The combat is easy to use, yet addictive and fun. They could have included dual wielding with short swords or similar, as you can't dual wield. Unless it's with a shield and sword.
One bad point about Oblivion is that you nearly always, in the end, will need to fight. Despite if you want to be an Alchemist or non-combat character.
The world is great to explore, you will come upon various things in your travels from bandit camps, caves, god altars, ruins and houses in the wilderness. These do however get repetitive and sometimes boring.
The quests are exciting and fun, but they nearly always make you have to pull out your weapon.
Oblivion seems to like the cutting edge to make it a top class role-playing game. So much more could have been added to it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, and I've enjoyed it, and I am sure I will enjoy it in the future. I don't think it will get in my top fives games of all time though.
