Heres my review to one of my favorite 360 games, Which I have, And It pwnzers.. Yeah, So heres Oblivion:
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks / 2k Games
Rating: Mature 17+
Release Date: 3/20/06
Genre: RPG-ish, It is an RPG, But you'll sometimes forget it is.
Storyline is very faint, There is one, Maybe I just don't follow it well enough. But instead of doing the storyline you can do quests, rob people, rob houses, and join guilds. To join the fighters guild you need to have a clean criminal record - Hard. To join theives guild, You just rob people alot, I think. To join mages guild you need to get permitted by like 6 guild leaders, Doing a quest for the permitance.
If you rob stores I recommend getting into the theives guild and getting the grey wolfs cowl. Do this because when your wearing it - If the guards catch you, you can just take the cowl off and you won't be arrested. This is helpful so you get to keep the stolen items.
Or you could wander aimlessly into the oblivion hoping to find and destroy one of the TWENTY TWO gates.
In Guilds you can work yourself up to being the leader. Being the leader gives you special abilities. For example; If you become the leader in the theives guild, You obtain the Grey wolfs cowl thing. Giving you 280? extra inventory space. (encunumbered) If you steal anything from guilds you will be kicked out. You can get back in some by doing a quest for them. Besides. Nothing in the guilds is really worth stealing anyways.
In the Arena you can work yourself up ranks, Like in a guild. Gaining hundreds of coins per battle. You'll easily be able to afford a white horsey! . But don't go and slaughter all of your oppenents in one day. Because if you do, You'll need to wait a week untill theres more.
Robing houses and stores makes you feel like james bond! Woo..
But be sure not to kill the store owners, For they restock the store after you steal.. ( I think ) I always just kill them... So you don't waste all your lock picks, I recommend saving before you try to open doors/chests/jewel boxes etc.
In quests and the storyline you'll come along some zombies and vampires which will give you some sickness's. These are annoying to get rid of. Getting rid of the vampire disease is very annoying. Visit G4.com for a podcast on how to heal it.
Also found in itunes.
^ You can see how cool your swords look. Theres also a 2nd person view.
Graphics: I like the graphics in this game, They are great, Except for the character animation. Weapons and armor have alot of detail. Alot of different types of armor and weapons. 5/5 - I'd say if you want good graphics, get this game. Caves and dungeons have great graphics, you can even see the glistening of the water in sewers.
Controlls: Well, Like any other game just the basic buttons, Nothing really special. 3/5.
^ I think this is a cutscene, But you can still see how good the graphics are anyways.
Sound: Not much music. When you open doors and chests they make that creak sound - Like always. I prefer to just plug my iPod in and listen to the music on that. The voices are good, I guess, How can you rate voices? Some of them are creepy o.o 3/5
Gameplay/Replay: EXTREMELY long gameplay! Honestly hundreds of quests (I'm guessing). You'll basically never run out of things to do. You can always go rob some houses if you run out of things to do. Or go on a rampage and kill as many innoceint bystanders as you please! >_>. If your ever able to replay it, Congratulations! 5/5
Overall: 4/5?, If only the music was better... Wait, what music?
Pros:
+ Great Graphics & Armor
+ Fun Quests
+ Alot of Quests
+ Long storyline
Cons:
- Quests can be long and boring
- Troublesome sickness's
- Player animation is kinda bad
- Gates to oblivion are hard to find
I haven't done a review in a while, I know this one isn't as good as the ones I have done. I just need to get into reviewing again.
I always wanna know how I'm doing!
