I got this game in 08, and loved it ever since. I only really recommend this game to you if you haven't played skyrim yet because you might not like the downgrade in graphics but if you can over come that then this game is awesome.

This is my hand down favorite game for ps3. It was the very first game I played on my ps3 and it set the bar so high that other games have a hard time competing. I liked this game better than skyrim! It takes place in the realm of Cyrodil, the center of lands of the Elder Scroll series and home to the epic size imperial city. Due to this central location you can travel to from swamp, to snowy nord borders and everywhere inbetween. The architecture changes, and is more elaborate than skyrim, with the cities and each city is intricate with a large number of quests. Many of the cities have hidden areas, and in the imperial city you have vast underground sewers that can lead into some homes. Like skyrim, each city has a castle but these castles seem kingly and the game as a whole is epic. I enjoyed the story line better than Skyrim's, but Story is the one thing Elder scrolls seem to be lacking. The backstory of the land is epic with tomes and history carrying over and remaining true from game to game. Yet the main story line always seems to fall short. Some of the side stories seem longer than the main story. The game as a whole, with all side quest (guild story lines etc.) is very long, you definitely get your money's worth. Though at times the play can seem redundant, mostly because the game is as long as it is, yet Skyrim felt more so than Oblivion as oblivion changed up certain aspects of the guild line quests which made them fun and unique. The dark brotherhood was far more enjoyable in Oblivion, with Skyrim's remnant dark brotherhood feeling exactly as that- a remnant of what was. The mage's guild was also more intricate, a university set to hone your craft. The most redundant aspect of Oblivion was the main quest of closing the many gates, which at first is cool as the deadra lands are very dark fantasy oriented, but each one is like the one before and after a while it becomes tedious. You don't craft weapons as you do in skyrim but you can enchant them and gain ever more powerful ones. I highly recommend this game, When I damaged my ps3 I bought a new one just so I can play Oblivion!

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
Okay, I get it, it's already six years old, the graphics aren't gonna be that good, and neither is the sound. That's why I gave the Graphics and Sound high scores because back then they were probably fantastic, but now they're nothing close to impressive. But, the game overall, even for back then, isn't all that impressive, I really don't know what people see in it. The Combat SUCKS. Not only are the buttons sometimes glitchy, the entire fighting section is plain boring, Pull RT to attack, LT to block, and RB to use magic, THAT'S IT! Nothing special or engaging about that. The RPG in this game isn't all that heavy, you get to customize and name your character and make choices, but you don't have choices and paths that weigh quite as heavily compared to, for example, the Mass Effect series. The story line is good, and the side quests don't get that repetitive, but sometimes your objective for a mission gets boring. What I also don't like is a lot of times during side quests you have to go into a dark area like a cave or sewer, and it is PITCH black in those places most of the time. Even though the torches last awhile, you need an almost unlimited supply of torches for how many times your in the dark. There are even times when your just wandering and it gets dark within a minute and you're too far to find a lighted place, so if you don't have a torch you're left to basically find your way by looking at the map every two seconds. As far as buying armor, weapons and such, money is sometimes hard to get, and in this game you need Gold to get good apparel or weapons because you can never find any useful equipment in the wild. Usually buying things isn't expensive, it's just hard to get money in the first place. Exploring, is pretty fun, even though the graphics aren't that great it's still cool to find new places, meet new people, and discover new creatures. AND the game supports a big land for you to explore and find secrets within. Going back to the customization, I think it's completely AWESOME! You get to chose your species, face and body definition, skin color, and lots more. As far as the people go, they barely differ at all, you see tons of different species, but it seems like all citizens say and wear the same thing. ESPECIALLY the City Guards. As far as navigating around the world, it's relatively easy, you have three tools/maps for getting around. This game has tons of things to do other than exploring, and side quests, like joining factions or buying houses. Your skill management is okay, not as good as something like the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. In conclusion, this game is fun to explore and play, but is majorly lacking in some areas. This is only my opinion, so you may like the game more than I do. But in my opinion, this game is nothing special and not worth a buy unless you really think you want it.

Was amazed at how much there was to do in this game. Tons of quests, dungeons and even underwater exploration. Graphics were really good for the time and the story line was decent.
Not a huge fan of the combat system, but give them an A for effort and being different.
It did have its share of bugs, save and save often.
If you even do half the side quests your equipment will be maxed out and all the loot you find in the second half will be to sell only. Was really disappointed it that aspect of the game. I love finding loot and getting better gear and to go through a good 40-30% of the game with the same equipment is boring lol.
Overall a really fun game to play and a great story to be part of.

This game just blew me away. It's not as good as Skyrim, nor are the controls as great, but this game is still worth buying. I gave the graphics a 5 because when I first looked at the game it looked like graphics from a nintendo 64 game. Although once you get used to it, it's okay. The gameplay is just awesome. switching between spells in the middle of a fight is fantastic; for example, you can call an undead to your aid, then switch to Flare and start blasting fireballs at people. Although, never play this game in 3rd person mode, if you want a game like that then play Skyrim. I'm saying this because your character will literally slide across the ground, and there is no reticule for aiming, so you'll be aimlessly firing arrows or casting a spell on a wall. I also like how if, for example, you're in a building and steal something; the guards won't rush inside. Instead they'll wait outside, which lets you kill the person who called for them. One thing I didn't like about the characters was that their faces just seemed unreal; you could easily tell there wasn't much thought put into them. There are so many sidequests that you'll never get bored, and you can even create your own class to suit you.This is really minor, but I like how when the Dark Brotherhood comes to you, you're still in the place where you slept, while in Skyrim you're kidnapped. The action is not as repetitive as Skyrim, mainly because you go to the menu to change your spells, while in Skyrim you can equip two spells at once, which actually can get boring and too easy. The quests can actually tie into the places, because when people spread rumors they can sometimes talk about if someone was murdered, or that something was stolen, and sometimes a citizen is actually part of a side quest. This game was just so amazing, and I'm still playing it(mostly because I only got it a few days ago). But that proves this game is awesome because in just a few days you can do so much and meet so many characters. I also liked the fact that basically all the cities are discovered from the start of the game, so you can just quick travel to one whenever you want. Overall, this is a great game that I'll probably still be playing in years to come.

I don't see how everyone keeps saying this game was amazing. It's like the God of War series its a piece of mindless garbage. The combat system is a total joke feels like some idiot rpg on the dream cast from 1998 and all the ai sound and look alike. It's a waste of time getting npc's to like you because it doesn't give anything back unless its a shop vendor. Playing in third person mode is pointless because its impossible to aim and your character looks like an idiot sliding around because the running mechanism isn't done well enough. This is one of those games people somehow fall in love with yet is just a hunk of trash. If you want a real rpg try the Tales series from Namco or fables.
