The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Collector's Edition) (PC Games, 2006)

Welcome to another review of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the Xbox 360. One of the only truly amazing titles exclusive to the 360 and PCs. This game is AMAZING!!! Never have I played an RPG that is free moving that has so many different options in the game. Truly this is the best game currently offered for the 360.

But why?? Why is this game so good??

Well, to begin, you have COMPLETE control over what you want your character to look like. You choose from 7 different races as well as male or female. You can change each and every aspect of your character. Everything from weight, skin tone, scars, hair style, hair color, eye color, facial details, and expression. From there, you get to choose both the birth sign according to the game and the class of your character.

The game has over 300 hours of game play, and thats if you don't die. Besides the main quest, you have 100s of mini quests to complete as you go from town to town. It keeps track of many different skills you increase through the game. Everything from Strength, Aecrobatics, Restoration, Destruction, and Absorbtion to name a few.

You have the ability to mix different potions and poisons out of 100s of different ingredients in the form of Alcamey. There is no limit to what you are able to create if you have the right ingredients. If that wasn't enough, you can also create your own spells as you advice in the world of magic.

There is an arena where you fight over and over again to earn the rank of Grand Champion. A great way to make money and earn experience in the game.

I could go on and on. There is simply no limit to what you are able to do. I have not even scratched the surface here. Just know that if you like RPGs that are very in depth and fun to play, then you HAVE TO BUY THIS GAME.

Do grab the Stategy Guide if you plan to do more than just the main quest in the game. It will blow you away at how thick the guide is when you see it.
