Oblivion for the Playstation 3 is an interesting game. Though I only have about 5 hours in the game, I have learned that the game is quite large and seems to hold value in replay experience. You have the ability to create a class most unique and then wander the world in search of fame and fortune. It also seems that each decision you make effects the overall game. The combat is from the first person perspective and rather simple to utilize. The menu system is a little complicated, but managable once you get used to it. Game play in general is pretty decent. Graphics are pretty good as well as the sound. If fantasy fiction is your sort of game, this may be a good recommendation for you. I would give it a solid 8 out of 10. Also, and it goes without saying, DRAGONS RULE!!!
I was looking for a fun RPG for my PS3 and decided to try Oblivion. The reviews on this game are all positive and peaked my interest. I am a fan of the traditional RPGs like Final Fantasy, and this one is different. The first-person controls are a little clumsy, making tasks like arrow-shooting a little difficult. I am not far into the game, so that may become easier with experience. Also, enemies low to the ground are difficult to spot and may surprise you. The story-line is cool with virtually unlimited other quests and tasks to take on. Graphics are overall good, but do not match up to the newer games like Metal Gear 4. The menu screen is a little clunky at first, but becomes a little more manageable with time. If you want sharp, clear graphics with great game-control, this might not be the game for you. If you are more interested in story-line, free-play ability and depth - its a great game.Read full review
Oblivion is a huge game that will keep you busy for years. There are a hundred quests, homes to decorate, spells to create, clubs to join and friends to make. But somehow they all look the same after a while. The cities are amazing in that you can talk to every person and open every door- but that means there are only a few dozen homes in every city. The world doesn't have the feel of a big place, just a series of small ones that are all the same. There are perhaps ten voice actors and maybe the same number of face models, so everyone starts to look and sound alike after the first towns. First-person fighting is clunky and a bit motion-sickening, but stepping back the camera didn't help much, as it was then impossible to see the foes. Bravo for shortcut buttons for spells. No impressive graphics or striking personalities in the Final Fantasy style, but this game is a great time-filler. I recommend the guidebook if you want to get clues on the huge stack of quests.Read full review
Plain and simple this game is an absolute steal. very long, very big, tons of things to do that in all honesty it's a little overwhelming. The character customization is very deep and tons of good bad consequences for the things you do. only very minor complaints, but first of all there is always lag when riding horseback, the tutorial is a little to vague which will probably make you start a new file a few hours after your original, and the hotkeys can make you really iritated when the wrong thing comes up. But I'm nitpicking, youll get addicted fast and lose all your friends!
Every once in a while, gamers are treated to a game that is so absorbing and addicting, that they find it difficult to pry themselves away from it; Oblivion is definitely one of those games. At its core, Oblivion is sort of an action RPG that combines traditional (sort of) role playing with action oriented gameplay. As far as an RPG goes, Oblivion is far from standard. When you start a new game you are prompted to make your character. You determine the character’s race (Nord, Breton, etc), and you also get to customize their physical appearance. Each race has different characteristics, for example, Nords have an excellent resistance to frost damage but are vulnerable to fire damage. After this, you play through a moderately short dungeon; I won’t go into the main story though. In the dungeon you choose your character’s sign, and class which essentially determine how your character will grow throughout the game. Upon exiting the dungeon, you are thrust into an overwhelmingly vast world. At first I had no idea what to do; as a fan of older RPG’s I was expecting to have to go somewhere specific, but the choice was mine. In Oblivion, you can pretty much do whatever you want to do. The main story requires you to go from town to town completing tasks that get harder and more involved as the game progresses. The unique thing about Oblivion is that you don’t really have to get involved in the main story. You can explore the huge world (which is REALLY huge), go into dungeons to find treasure, complete tasks that villagers in the towns ask you to do, join the fighters or mages guild and complete tasks for gold, fight in the arena, bet on fighters in the arena… you get the point. There really is a lot to do in this game; I spent around 60+ hours just exploring, earning gold, getting cool weapons, and completing tasks. There is just way too much to talk about in terms of what there is to do so now I’ll talk about how the game plays. Oblivion was designed to be played in the first person perspective, but you also can switch to third person. The combat is pretty basic; you can perform normal attacks, block opponents’ attacks, use magic, and use power attacks. Using power attacks drains your fatigue, which regenerates overtime; using magic drains your magicka, which also regenerates over time. Overall, the combat is simple, fun, and it works. I do have to add that I have experienced some technical problems with this game. The first thing that I noticed is that there is a lot of slowdown for apparently no reason. This does not happen that often but it is very annoying when it happens. The other, major problem, is that the game crashes every once in a while. Again, this happens for apparently no reason and is very frustrating, but it rarely happens. I have read many reviews for this game claiming the same thing. Despite this, Oblivion is an excellent game, but I just wanted to inform you of the problems and you should still get this game. Oblivion is a HUGE game with tons of things to see and do. I would highly recommend that any PS3 owner owns this game. Pros: - A huge game - Tons of things to do - Non linear Cons: - NoneRead full review
