The Bottom Line:
"Masterpiece"
What can I really say about Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion of the thousands and thousands of stuff that is packed within a single CD. It has a story, gameplay, sounds, voice acting like no other compared to it, well expecpt its predecessors before it. Any 360 owner should buy this one.

Gameplay- Possibly the best RPG of all time. First of all you can create your own character with its own race from a various of races available, each one with its strenght and weakness. Youll be able to customize your character from his appereance and his abilities. If you want your character to be a warrior, an assasin, a thief, a mage then he can be anything you want him to be, the possibilities are endless. And the options for dressing and sutting up your character with armor and clothes are also unlitited. What really took me away was the immensity of the world of Cyrrodill, where the game takes place, its like a United States on its own. The world is so huge on the surface and beneath the ground where some ancient fortress lay in wait with treasures and traps and all sort of creatures. The gameplay is really fun.

Story- Like it says in GS's review the game has more than 200 hours of quests and jobs for you to do, so you will need some time to sit down and really enjoy the game, not in a rush or just 5 minutes. The main storyline is somewhat short but the tons of extra quests make that seem like a smalls grain of rice in a huge jar. A well written strory and diologue make this one hell of a game.

Graphics- Basicly what made my jaw drop to the floor, I was instantly stunned when I saw the game the first time. It will automaticly make you feel like your in the world of Cyrrodill instead of your own living room. The enviormente is so detailed that its just like your seeing the world thru your own eyes instead of the ones of your character. From the trees to the buildings, to the rain, the water and even Oblivion (Hell is preatty) isso well made. Great to just run around taking the enviorment.

Sound- The voice acting and music are top notch in this game. There may be the same people (except for Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean who play important roles in the main storyline) reading the diologue for a hundred characters but it is well made, and its that good. The music is so great to listen to when running around or fighting against a creature or person, very well made. The sound effects are also great, from unsheeting your sword to the clash of swords, well everything is exaclty as it should sound.

Value- This game is great and even now that its even a cheaper price, get it because it is that good and if you enjoy it may it bring entertaiment for a long time to come but if you didnt well then im sorry becuase everybody has different tastes. But please dont miss this one out.
