- The Best Game So Far For The 360
If you want to get one game for the 360, then this has to be it. basically the world is getting overrun by evil called the deadra and slowly all the heirs to the emporer are getting murdered so noone is left to protect the world. This is where you come in. You can take the shape or race from anyone in the game, including viscous tiger looking thing called Kajits to scaly, sly lizards called argonians, the possibilities for your character are endless.
You start off in a prison in the Imperial City and you do not know why you are there or what you are doing. After some faffing about chosing your star sign (which can give you some unique abilities e.g. thief = extra speed, agility etc) and your main abilities which can be fully customised to suit you (Blade, Marksmen, Destruction etc) and after the emporer is murdered and running through the Imperial Sewers fighting Goblins and Rats, you are free!
This is where the real fun sets in, now you are free to do whatever you like. you could carry on with the main quest, do side quests, explore forts, ruins, caves etc, find treasure and special weapons and armour or you can even join a special faction of people from fighters, thieves, mages and deadly assasins.
Good points to this game are obviously the amazing graphics that are produced, every aspect of the game is good graphics except from some oblects that cannot be seen unless you are quite close. The amount of freedom you have is extraordinary, with a huge map to explore, houses to be bought and you can even be a menace to society by being a dirty murderer. The amount of armour and weapons available are also vast and the leveling up is also a good idea, introducing new weapons, armour and monsters as you grow stronger. The phsics of the arrows and the rag doll affect of the fallen enemies are quite spectacular at times also, with fallen creatures rolling for miles if killed on a hill or a guard being splattered against a wall using telekenisis, its all fun in this game trust me. I have had this game now for at least 6 months now and i can honestly say that i still play it frequently, with no signs of stopping soon and i am still finding things new to me even now.
Bad points are that there are a few bugs in the game, including some quests freezing so they can never be completed and the average main quest. Also the appearing objects that occur regularly is quite frustrating at times but is bareable.
And also dont listen to the guy about 2 reviews below that says the game is repetitive and riddled with the frustrating grass popping bug. He obviously has not seen the games full potential as he only talks about using a sword. as you grow levels with a sword you unlock new power attacks etc. and the game has much more to it than just the mere sword, how about the bows and magic. I have started a game for each class, one being a mighty warrior using only swords and axes etc., one that is a deadly assasin with a bow (the best way to play the game is with a bow trust me) and a mage with an endless array of magic and spells.
If you want a game that will keep you hooked for hours on end, this is a must have.
Rating: - Life
This game changed my life. What I mean is that life is rubbish at the best of times. This game took me to a place where everyday worries can be forgotten and so loose yourself in a War of Fighting, Trading, Fighting and so on.
Buy it,....you'll see.
Rating: - THE 360 Game
If like I was last week you are seriously considering buying a 360 and want to know the must have game(s), im here to tell you Oblivion is that alright. its the only game that people almost unamiously agree is brilliant (thers always a few who just don't like popular games).
This is all coming from somebody whos not a massive rpg fan. The only RPG prior to this that i truly loved was the zelda:ocarina of time and i can uncatgoricaly say that after 3 days of oblivion its the best game since Ocarina ive played by the time ive maxed it out i might even say its better.
I know theres alot of gamers that review the newest game they've got as the best game on the console/thev'e ever play(you get that about the latest fifas).but this is the only game ive ever put up with zelda(not even timesplitters two or halo 2 which are my two faverite game) ive made a rare review because its that good. Quit reading about it and buy the 360 and this game you will not regret it.

- Oblivion
I bought this game a couple of weeks ago on an almost impulse buy and while at first was impressed by the detail and scope of the game, it's issues sufaced quickly.
The biggest problem for me is the repetitive nature of the melee attacks. Simple pushes of the right trigger is all there is to sword slashes. The next problem is in the graphics. I simply was not prepared for how poor the frame rates and pop-up would be. Grass pops up in the foreground in front of your eyes and the frame rates seem to drop for no apparent reason. NPCs also fade out in front of doors instead of opening them and some in door areas are far to dark. These problems spoil the illusion. However the world is rather large (even though most of it seems to be taken up by empty space) and when the game is not moving it looks lovely.
All in all a rather ok game which, bottom line, isnt all that fun.
Rating: - Purely Amazing
Elder Scrolls Oblivion is the 4th of the Elder Scrolls games. However as I have never played any of the others before I had no idea of what I was letting myself into.
At first you start in a prison room and it come up with a menu to decide on your character. You can customize every inch of your characters face with the sliders and different colours to choose, not to mention the races as well.
Next the emperor and his Blades come down the stairs. Their next passage is through your cell and the emperor says meting you is something to do with the gods.
After Going through the dungeon and making a few choices and recieving the amulet of knigs. Your first quest will appear. I am not going into any detail as it might spoil it for you.
Then the world of Tamarin is there for you to explore. there are many thousands of quests and you can download more from xbox live marketplace.
There is only one thing wrong with oblivion. That is that you control things like your height and weight at the begining. Other then that a Game that is well worth £40 if not more.
