 Must Have, Even for the Non-RPG lovers 34 of 34 people found this review helpful.
In my opinion this game should be everyone’s first Playstation 3 game. This game will keep you occupied for a minimum 200 hours. Especially since there are not many “decent” games released for the Playstation 3. I have friends who played the 360 version, for over 150 hours and are still not close to finishing the game. However do not be discouraged from the hours; it’s a really fun game. Personally I dislike RPG games, such as Final Fantasy, however Oblivion is different. It’s not repetitive, and does not take forever to walk to one place to another (aka Final Fantasy). You can view your map and basically go to a “location” meaning a house or building, not anywhere on the map. However this is good enough to get you from city to city. Another great feature is that you can fast forward the game by going to sleep. Each hour you sleep is couple of seconds in real time. So if you need to be somewhere in a delayed time, you don’t have to just wait around, which you have to do in similar games. The game’s detail is mind boggling, considering how large the game is. The best part is that the loading time on the Playstation 3, is not much, it loads as you walk, unless you walk into a building. Even that, it takes a couple of seconds to load.
Positive
- Amazing Graphics
- 200+ hours of game play
- Great even for the non RPG game lovers
- Play the game “your” way, meaning you will not finish the game the same way your friend did.
- Not as repetitive as you think it is
- Quests are unique and all different
Negative
- Picking up items sometimes gets you in trouble, and you have to go to jail. There is no way running away.
- Lock picking is annoying, (you have to pick locks to get through certain doors and treasure boxes)
- On the box it says you need 4GBs of space on your hard drive to play, if you have a 20 GB PS3, that 20% of your hard rive space.
- Nothing else comes to mind, other than Oblivion is more expensive then the regular Playstation 3 game.

I bought this game hoping to be entertained for a couple days since there aren't many new releases for the PS3. I'm not big into role playing games and was extremely skeptical. So far, I have 200+ hours of game play in it. The main game play mission is long enough and fun, but it is all the side missions that make this game. There are several factions you can join which give you even more missions to take on. I chose a fighting character, but even the Mage (magic) missions were fun. You can choose to be in a fighter's guild, mage guild, thieves guild, and many others. This game also has great graphics as a first person fighter. You can choose to do your combat in first person or third person. This game is amazing in my opinion, and that is coming from someone who really doesn't like role playing games. I liked Fable, but not much more than that. I can't wait until they release the expansion pack that is already available on the Xbox 360 and PC. Please don't buy this game if you don't have a lot of time to devote to it. If you do, it is worth it.
