Good Points

Great Graphics
Great Story
Good Gameplay
Very Addictive

Bad Points

Can get too addictive but at the same time you can get bored if you have made a character with every race and have done all the missions
It missed out on a lot of things that Morrowind had which was very disappointing. For example spears, ninja stars, the variety of armor, traveling by boat or those huge bugs. Loading time sucked majorly.

General Comments

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was the first game I bought for the Xbox 360 and it was so addictive that I got it for PC so i could hack the heck out of it. This game is definitely a must have if you don't already have it for PC and have a 360 get it for the Xbox - it's lots of fun and has less loading time. The biggest problem with this game is that it missed out on a lot of things that Morrowind had like the Werewolf, throwing weapons, spears, ect. These great things that were in Morrowind and were taken off in Oblivion made the game dull if you played Morrowind. Another thing which was lame is that they did not even think of making horse back fighting - you cant use a weapon when you're on a horse and you always have to get off and kill whatever is attacking you. Also the fact that there were no new races was kind of boring and that there were no new guilds or weapons which made it different from Morrowind - the only big difference obviously was the graphics and the Oblivion gates. Even though this game lacked some it still makes for a great game worth the 60 dollars or what ever it's worth now.
