Full Review for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion by kidfly

Introduction

The game is the hardest when you start out, being pennyless, unarmmed, and incredibly weak. It's mainly the world is in trouble and you need to save it- another damsel in distress... But this is different.... You start out sitting in a jail cell knowing nothing about the crime you commited and this royal man surrounded by some guards comes and shoves you to the side threatning to kill you if you get in the way and magicly opens this 'secert' hole in the wall, he quickly gets killed by some assassins and gives you this amulet that will 'SAVE THE WORLD' and tells you to get to this guy who you know nothing about, only his name and where he lives. And this guy sends you around and will tick you off in the long run, making you do things that he could do himself but is to much of a coward. The game never ends, it keeps going hoping you'll find more things to do and keep leveling up progressing in the game exploring all of it's nocks and crannies. Its a very good game and I woud suggest getting it, it's a very good game.

Graphics

The games graphics are OK but theres some things that really... Don't make sense like paint brushs can float, people can become extremely streched out before your eyes, doors get jammed and sometimes get blurry, people will dissappear from existance, and blood will be like paper, but aside from that the people look relatively real for that era.

Sound

The music is definitly not modern, it sounds like something they would play at that period of time. Its definitly played like with an orchestra, and the music changes as you enter battle sequcnces, and when your just talking, or roaming around the map.

Gameplay

Its very good, although theres no real special fighting angle or a real difference in just walking around and fighting an enemy, basicly the same controls, and you can never hear your character talk, it's only captions telling you what you will say. On the lighter side the game never ends and theres endless possiblities, many many quests, and a whole lot of options, such as your race, birthsign, abilities, what you specailze in and much much more...

Lastability

The game gets old after your second play,or your first if you don't like how weak your character starts out new. One way to keep the game going is to have one of you players to only get Fame and the other Infamy, it keeps the game going. And I would recommened getting the expantions along with the original game, it opens up more choice then there already is. The game does get old after you do most of the major things such as the main quest, all the faction missions

Overall

The game is great. I would highly recommened getting it; although it does get old, it keeps giving you quests you haven't discovered before, like if you complete all of the deadric shrines theres one that opens up HIGH in the mountains that you wouldn't explore without a quest. And theres things you can catch that would send you to a side of the map in the middle of nowhere looking for someone whos dead or need something for you before they can work on what you need.... Most of the quests are straight forward but some will REALLY annoy you, like you got a quest to look for someone whos dead... You shouldn't get board until your third or second time playing although Oblivion gates can ( and most likely will ) annoy you, for there tough enemies and hellish like landscape, looking for something in them are like lookng for a needle in a haystack but you will get used to them, and you will encounter things such as zombies that are very few in numbers but group in hordes, very agrivating...

Final Score: 88%
