Product Description
After the mysterious and untimely death of the Emperor, the throne of Tamriel lies empty.

To turn the tide of darkness, you must find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
One of the most respected Western role-playing games of all time is back with huge improvements in graphics and accessibility, including a completely real-time combat system and the largest, most detailed game world ever seen. Phew.The lowdown:
Although previous Elder Scrolls games have enjoyed something of a like it or loathe it reputation, this latest sequel has the means to appeal to everyone thanks to one simple improvement: its incredible new graphics. Unlike many role-playing games it is viewed from a first person perspective, with a game world portrayed in a staggering amount of detail, and realistic psychics and characters that genuinely seem to be going on about their own separate lives. The game's real appeal though lies in the huge freedom: play it exactly how you want. Most exciting moment:
Using the new combat engine to fight off dozens of enemies, then stealing one of their mounts and riding off into the sunset. Since you ask:
Emperor Uriel Septim VII is voiced by Star Trek and X-Men luminary Patrick Stewart, but all the characters in the game have full spoken voiceovers instead of just onscreen text. This is the next generation, you know. The bottom line:
One of the most realistic and accessible role-playing games ever made.

I found this game somewhat fake. It was too moddable and that aura destroyed the concept of realism. Oh well, was quite fun.
 one of the most boring games I have played May 15, 2010

At the start of the game, I was thrilled. Waking up as a slave in a forgotten jail and getting out by chance,combined with the great graphics, really blew my mind at first. I am no hardcore gamer, the only games that are truly my favourites and that I have played very extensively are Final Fantasy 7 and 8 and Gran Turismo 1 and 2. However, I have tried MANY other games, never found one equal to Final Fantasy vii.
With the Elder's Scroll, after 3 hours the game started to be nauseatingly boring. No beautiful soundtrack or great fights like in FF,
just aimless roaming, no friends met along the way, etc. I arrived almost at the end of the game over the course of a few days, until I could not take it anymore boredom and gave up.
 Unbelievable April 20, 2010

I had origionally purchased this game for my brother for his birthday, but after watching him play this game and seeing for myself how good the graphics were, I decided to buy the game for myself.
I am still amazed at this game. Seeing as it was released in 2004, the graphics are still awsome, they really are. Plus, the creators have provided so much to do for you to do as well. I have played it for over 200 hours and I still haven't finished yet.
For anybody thinking of buying this game, I would severely recommend purchasing it.
The controls may take a little time to get used to, but I guarantee it will be worth the wait.
I hope this review is fairly helpful to anybody wanting of thinking of getting this game soon.
Oblivion: Worth every penny March 25, 2010
Mr. C. Stoker
Despite several years of sitting on game shelves, Oblivion is still one of the most impressive games you will ever play. There are mods to update graphics and the like so no need to worry about visual performance. As well as this, there are mods for just about everything else in the game. In my humble opinion, no other single-player game is a great value as oblivion- mods being free and totally refreshing and enjoyable at the same time.
But you do not need mods to enjoy this game either, story is engaging, gameplay is dynamic and involving. And the world is so beautiful you will never want to leave.
Add the construction set, which allows you to simply edit items to tweak the game as you like, as well as letting you make your own mods, and you've got a fantastic game.
I love it, and i think you will too. Go buy it, enjoy it and fall in love with a masterpiece of gaming.
Good job Bethiesda :D March 6, 2010

Brilliant game, the graphics are good, the missions are nice and long and the cave's are very atmospheric. There's a lot of sidequest's too so even after the story there's something to do. There's also a nice Variety of character's to choose from; there's the Altmer, Argonian, Bosmer, Breton, Dunmer, Imperial, Nord, Orc, Redguard and my fave the Khajiit. I think the city's are very prety too, the "imperial city" being the prettiest. The game seem's to run very well to on my pc, The specs of my pc are;
CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9500
GPU: Geforce (PNY) 9800GT 512mg
RAM: 4 Gigs of DDR2
Creative xtreame audio
KeyBoard: Satek Eclipse II
Mouse: Logitech X12
HDD: 500GB
Brilliant game, Definitely would recommend to any RPG fan :D
