The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game Of The Year Edition (Platinum)

Still playing this game 325 hours in and still not bored and only done about three quest of the storyline. Wont bore you with the amount i could say cause this game is just so big and looks better than kiera knightley undressed get it now

A friend suggested I pick this up as he had spent the past year playing it on and off & it was now under £15. Being a tactics/Japanese RPG fan I really wasn't sure, but £15 isn't much of a risk these days. One hour in & all that was making me stay with it was Patrick Stewart's voice acting & the hope of some kind of adventure around the corner. Another 8 hours later, in the middle of the night, I realised I was hooked!

This game is immense - not just in the huge amount of quests and physical size of the game world, but in every sense this game is big. But don't let that put you off. You decide what to do. You decide when to do it, if you do it at all.

The character progression is so far beyond what I am used to playing JRPGs. The class you choose is only the start of it - you take this game & your character in the direction that suits you. I watched my friend play his game. He wears heavy armour, wields a huge claymore & wades in. The game has rewarded him by improving his attributes with upgrades & stat boosts that let him do all that more effectively. He's a good guy & goes around helping people out. His game world & game experience is totally different to mine. I'm a thief. I go out at night, take things from people's locked chests & do robberies to order for shady collectors & my guild's leader. I use stealth to make my way through dungeons under the noses of the bad guys. I don't need heavy armour, I have equipment that makes me harder to detect. I also have a side-line in killing people for money.

We're playing the same game but in very different ways & getting different things from it. He likes more action & adventure whereas I prefer stealth & tactics. This game lets you play how you want to play to a satisfying degree.

On no level does this game disappoint. Stick in there through the character creation & once you are let loose in Cyrodiil it's up to you what happens next.

This is by far the best RPG available on the PS3 and the best i've ever played on any format. It's so completely immersive and open that you can play for weeks, perhaps months on end without even playing the main storyline as the world is so huge and there is so much else to do. Could lead to relationship problems as the game is so good!
One thing, another reviewer mentioned a glitch regarding getting a cure after becoming a vampire, as the lady that makes your cure won't accept one of the ingredients (Bloodgrass). To solve this glitch, save your game then go to the PS3 System settings, change the language to German (Deutsch), load the disc again, load your game and for some reason the lady will accept the ingredient (Blutgrass) this time. Save your game, go back to change the PS3 system language settings to English - your game is not ruined and you'll have a cure for vampirism.
Other than this glitch, the game is absolutely perfect. Enjoy!

One of the best games I've ever played. A must have for any RPG fan. Sadly you will lose all your free time to this game, things like food, drink and partners will become an after thought. :)

I love this game its one of my favorites ive had it for about 12 months but theres a major glitch with the game of the year version its somthing to do witrh the language translation (in to english) its to do with the vimpirism cure quest once all the ingredients have been gathered and u go to give them to the person who makes the potion she wont take the last ingredient therefore u cannot complete the quest so ur only option is to start all over again avoid getting bitten in the first place i didnt want to do this as id been playing 6 months however there is a way around it but it involves getting the basic copy of the game the one without the expansion and completeing the quest
