The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Review

More articles by »
Written by: Matt

We have our review up of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the much talked about role-playing game from Bethesda, and it is a beauty of a game. Not only does it look good, but it is insanely fun, immersive, and improves upon Morrowind greatly. It is already in the running for Game of the Year awards. Here’s a sample from the review:

Combat, unlike in Morrowind, is visceral and frenetic. Blows connect, tendons scream when your blow glances off a shield, and if that wasn’t enough, your enemy will taunt you if he feels confident he’s going to best you. Magic combat is rich and varied, there’s nothing more gratifying than seeing an enemy go down in a flurry of flames, or keel over after being frozen to death from a frost spell. A particular foe giving you a hard time? Bring out a shield spell, suck out his fatigue, even push him over the edge of a cliff if you have to. The options you have in any given fight are near limitless, only limited by your own imagination. Intelligence plays a factor with fights in Oblivion.
