Game is really fun. Trust me or us, You're going to put so many hrs into this game and lots of custom things to do to your Character. If you do get it get GoTY edition.

Then don't get it.

I don't play RPG's at all too, but loved this game. It was my first RPG to play in my whole gaming life, so it's really up to you on this one.

Alot of Open World is correct loads of missions to do and I'm telling you hundreds of hours of gameplay. It's fun trust me, if you don't want the GotY edition, then just buy an used copy of Oblivion. I saw one for 17 dollars at my local Gamecrazy.

Its a good game on consoles, but the PC version is so much better. With mods it feels like a whole new game.

i love RPGs, and i like open-world games alright but for some reason i did not like oblivion all that much. i can respect it as an awesome achievment in gaming and can totally see how others like it but it wasnt for me. one thing i hated was the scaling of the enemies levels with your own level.

If you don't mind taking a little time to learn how to play the game or look at a few game guides then I think you should definitley buy it. I feel it's role playing light because your enemies get stronger at the same rate as you and at the end of the game your character won't be much different from your friends because you can max out every skill if you want to. I put about 200 hours into the game, and that doesn't even include the expansion which i never bought.

It has a huge open ended word and you can play the game exactly as you want it and thats pretty much all there is to it.
There are only 2 types of quests, the "fetch" and "kill" quests wich are repeated over and over.

The quests and main story are very close minded where there is only one solution to every problem. And the worsed of all the game lacks any form of continuation, you can kill someones brother and the characters all act as if nothing happened.

That's actually the good thing in Oblivion. You always get a fair fight. It sucks when you're too weak or too strong.

One thing I don't like in RPGs is leveling up. Don't level up = you'll get your as$ kicked. Too high level = boring.

Anyone who condemns a game after 5 minutes of playing time is ignorant and their opinion is not to be trusted. Oblivion takes 30 minutes to an hour before you even get into the actual game world. It is a great game and will keep you occupied for months to come. I just started playing it again yesterday as a matter of fact, and it's still as fun as day 1. There's an amazing amount of content in that game.

You should do yourself a favor and buy it. Make sure you get the GOTY edition also.

The game is pure garbage if you like RPGs.

If you've never played an RPG, you'll likely think its great.

I tend to think of it as garbage- not even worth using the disc as a coaster. It's a bland world where you can be sure that you'll never be challenged because everything is scaled to your level.

I would recommend against Oblivion. But if you own a 360 or PC, get Morrowind.

Before I got Oblivion I barely ever played RPGs, and when i did i hated them, but Oblivion was brilliant, it's worth the money as well, i played for well over 100 hours, you needn't buy another game for 2 months.

I actually really enjoyed it...although the level scaling system almost ruined the game for me once I finished most of the side quests.

I recommend Oblivion highly... particularly if you get GOTY edition, which has Shivering Isles.

It depends though... I mean, you have to be comfortable with a slower paced game, y'know? Do you like RPGs?

Oblivion is one of the best RPG, but if you don't play the genre too much i think you should get another games... Such as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Call of Duty 4, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Devil May Cry 4... ;)

YES. its a fantastic game, i put well over 100 hours playing it. whats good about it is that its an action rpg, no turnbased or anything, and thats what rpgs should be about thinking about your enemy in real time.

get it, although it will suck a huge amount of your time... so get the GOTY edition :)

I think Oblivion is a good RPG to kinda get into. It has a good deal of action with the bow and arrow especially and some magic and swordplay. It's pretty "actiony" as far as RPGs go, though not in a shallow sort of way. For instance, you can shoot characters with a powerful arrow shot and they will fly back with the force of the impact utilizing some neat physics. The story is pretty good too.

The game is interesting, I think you will like it. :) Remember...use Sneak Attack the most powerful ability in the game and the most fun to use

Several people have said that the GOTY edition is NOT the one to get. There is a bug where vampirism is not curable. I would get the original and then buy the expansion to avoid this possibility.
