A few more favorable reviews of Bethesda's PS3 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have made their way online. The first is at GamingExcellence with an overall score of 9.8/10:
As great as Morrowind was (and it was difficult at the time to imagine better), Oblivion is a game that does everything ten times better. It also makes playing any other game out there seem trivial. Oblivion is not just a game, it's an experience. And where most games feature a good first level or a cool end-boss, Oblivion's strength lies in its scope and its consistency. There has never been a game created that was so detailed or so realistic and it gives me such hope in the videogame industry when I play a title made with such integrity and care. Oblivion is without question the greatest video game I have ever played or reviewed (and reviewed again!) and it's also an experience unlike any I have ever had. The best part however, is knowing that Bethesda will eventually, much like Morrowind, make it even better.
The second is at Gamehelper with an overall score of 9.3/10:
Oblivion is an undeniable triumph of game design. Is it perfect? Not quite, but it’s damn close. As an added bonus—presumably to make up for missing the PS3 launch party—Bethesda has included the add-on quest Knights of the Nine on the PS3. The expansion adds another 10 hours of gameplay to the already massive world of Oblivion, and while the question of future downloadable content on the PS3 is still up in the air, you can bet that the good folks at Bethesda will do what they can to keep you firmly rooted in Cyrodiil. Quite simply, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a masterpiece. If you haven’t already fallen victim to its addictive, spell-binding world, or even if you already have, you had better clear your schedule and get ready to fall in love – all over again.
And the third is at The Laser with an overall score of "A":
Oblivion effectively transports players into a parallel fantasy world that feels as rich and believable as a novel. The scope and scale of the game is impressive and brings with it an incredible sense of being in the center of a great adventure. The gameplay and storyline are quite enjoyable, with a control system and interface that's easy to use while also giving you plenty of flexibility. There are a few minor issues, such as load times, that keep the game from perfection, but Oblivion still delivers one of the most engaging and exciting next generation role playing titles to date. This is a solidly entertaining and engrossing title and those who haven't experienced this fantastic title yet owe it to themselves to play this on the Playstation 3, which offers the smoothest playing version of the game yet.
The opening sentence of that first quote might not sit well with Morrowind fans.
