The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review

[GameBanshee News]

2404.org has published a review of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, giving Bethesda's latest RPG installment an overall score of 9/10.

When it comes to computer role playing games, there are either solo games like this, or big online games. Often the worst part about online games is the presence of the other people, but Oblivion gives that online game feel, without the nagging sensation that the dungeon you’re about to explore has been trampled by thousands of previous adventurers. While it may seem like this game has more negatives than positives, much of the bad stuff can be ignored or worked around (or in the case of gimpy AI, simply not exploited), leaving a game that, while little better than Morrowind, could actually be a little worse and still be a great game. If you played Morrowind, and want more of the same, get this game. If you haven’t played Morrowind, get it first; in six months, you’ll probably get Oblivion as well.
