 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The (xbox360: 2006): Reviews
Oblivion not only raises the bar in the visual and audio modules but also in the gameplay and presentation department, making it easily one of the most recommendable titles to anyone who has ever enjoyed the thought of truly doing whatever they want in a video game, in a world where actions actually mean something.
Oblivion is literally riddled with ye-olde RPG tradition, yet its accessibly, truly freeform approach will appeal to old hands and those yet to experience the unbridled joy of carving a new life alike.
Oblivion is a game that defines freedom within a videogame, one that accepts whatever role players choose and allowing them to play the game as they see fit; for this reason alone, Oblivion is a game with very few rivals - a flawed masterpiece.

 Review: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Xbox 360 on Gamepro.com.
Though Oblivion is a masterpiece, technological frustrations and nagging inconveniences undermine it at almost every turn.
Oblivion revolves around adventure and exploration, so it has a far greater tolerance for uneven performance.
The central quest is supplemented by small sub-quests, such as defending cities, infiltrating religious cults, or entering the Oblivion gates and raiding the invader's hellish home turf.

Oblivion is the latest chapter in the epic and highly successful Elder Scrolls saga and utilizes the latest PC and next-generation video-game hardware to fully immerse you into the experience.
What is most noticable about Oblivion besides the eye-popping but system straining graphics (anything lower than a high end PC from last year will likely have problems, but the upside is this screams to be played on a 45" LCD monitor at 1920x1080p) is that Bethesda improved upon Morrowind rather than reinventing the wheel.
In Oblivion, you are thrown right into the action as you sit in a prison cell(for no known reason) and suddenly confronted by the king and his body guards.

 The Modern Word - David Foster Wallace's "Oblivion"
Oblivion appears to be the result of Wallace’s call-to-arms for new literary rebels.
Oblivion is the literary equivalent of Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights – hyper-detailed, maddeningly intricate, the reader may find it difficult to know on what to focus.
The narrator in “Oblivion” goes to great pains to dryly describe each moment with as much detail as possible, so much so that it takes 8 pages to explain a small amount of what has gone through the narrator’s head in the 5 or 6 minutes that have transpired since entering a golf course’s clubhouse.

 TweakGuides.com - Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Tweak Guide
I was so inspired by what was an entire vast living, breathing, beautifully constructed game world that I decided to write a guide for the game to help others enjoy it, and thus my very first tweak guide was written and first distributed on the official Morrowind forums in July 2002 as a word document.
Well Oblivion has finally been released, and I can genuinely vouch for the fact that it is not only a worthy successor to Morrowind; it ups the stakes to a whole new level.
It has such a striking blend of cutting-edge graphics and gameplay, so much attention to detail and such richness of atmosphere that it is a game I believe virtually anyone would enjoy regardless of their genre preference.

 Oblivion Review
The first is that Oblivion is a monstrously huge game, which would quite likely take over a hundred hours to complete if the player wanted to tackle the major quests — guilds, main plot and important characters.
Oblivion’s setting is not actually that large; roughly 16 square miles if the Bethesda marketing department is to be believed.
Oblivion goes the completely opposite tack, it is almost impossible not to stumble upon some ancient elven ruin, abandoned mine, mercenary hide-out or other dungeon, even after a mere five minutes wandering in the open.

 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | Game Reviews | SCI FI Weekly
Fourth in a series, Oblivion adds star muscle like Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean to a cast of who knows how many (it's a lot) to bring over 50 hours of voice work and hundreds of unique characters to the high-fantasy medieval province of Cyrodiil, the heart of an empire spanning a continent called Tamriel.
The gates must be closed before Oblivion's baroque-armored brutes overrun the province and presumably the entire continent.
Pine and birch trunks lean and sway in the wind and weather; sun rays bloom around clusters of rustling multicolored leaves; huddled villages spring organically from green pastures or shaded forest glades, and colossal cities perch on cliffs, visible for miles in all directions.

 Kikizo Games: Review: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Oblivion lets you really hack away at your enemies and even introduces - wait for it - combos into the Elder Scrolls series; you don't even have to put away your weapon to perform a spell nowadays.
Oblivion is very easy to pick up and play compared to its predecessors.
Oblivion's quests rely heavily on the game's non-playable characters; no longer just extras thrown in to take up space, these characters are each their own person with their own lives.

 Polycat.net - Creative Logic » Blog Archive » The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
I think it’s safe to say that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is one of the most widely anticipated games of 2006 — one of the few MMORPGs of my favorite definition (Massively Multientity Offline RPG).
Oblivion’s countryside is dotted with far more little facets of the game to reward explorers, whether it be a bandit hideout, random encounters with NPCs, or surprisingly large dungeons (redundant in design as they may be) than Morrowind could’ve ever hoped for.
The story in Oblivion seems far more focused and intriguing than I ever found Morrowind’s to be too, so here’s hoping that the game keeps it up as I get further into the game.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, the next in the series of hit RPGs, was released for the Xbox 360 and PC about two months ago.
The storyline, setting, characters, gameplay style, and many more aspects of the game are based off the previous installment, and it seemed like Oblivion was designed for those who had already gone through the learning curve of Morrowind.
This is actually a good thing, when compared to Oblivion, where I felt overwhelmed with useless items in the world to interact with.
