Video Game Reviews of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Customer Review: Most addictive game on PS3... for now. Role playing fan or not, this one's worth checking out.
Summary: 5 Stars
THE GOOD:
- Graphics: Overall graphics are good. The character detail, object detail and scenery are all well done. Lighting effects (especially the sky!) are great. Overall, not the best on PS3, but very good.
- Gameplay Depth: Enormous world to explore, tons of weapons, objects, and people to interact with, many quests to complete and tons of magic/spells. Quests vary from quick 5 minute tasks, to 2-3 hours - nice variation. I also like that you can choose from many different quests at one time, no need to follow a strict order of events. This makes the game very open ended.
- Character Creation: At the beginning, you create your character and can choose many attributes, races, etc. This adds a lot of depth and is very easy to use.
- Sound: Great use of Dolby Digital surround sound. Voices move around the speakers corresponding to player location. Overall sound is nicely done.
- Simple menus: easy to find/equip weapons, magic spells, etc. Player stats and character development progress well displayed in easy to read graphs. Fairly easy to use maps and quest descriptions.
- Quick load times (for PS3 anyways).
THE BAD:
- Some graphics draw problems - objects/buildings pop up on the horizon. This takes away from the game's overall refinement, and the realism of the environment.
- Some annoying cut scenes, dialogue, but I expect this in a role playing game.
- No game percent complete - big mistake in my book. How do I know how close I am to beating this game?
- Map is a little difficult to navigate, no zoom feature.
