My Opinion
Now, everyone knows this title. It’s really famous RPG game, and we are very happy to tell you that this release is also available on PS3. The only bad thing is that you can’t use the plugins to the game, but still, there is so much to explore and to find in this game, that the first 60 gameplay hours you will never be bored even without plugins.
I really loved the huge map, loved the characters (alltough my wife said that the faces were too ugly), i loved the way leveling system is implemented, and as a real RPG lover i have to say – it’s a MUST HAVE!
VIDEO REVIEWS
There are some great video reviews about Oblivion, check it out:
Note that this review is for XBOX360 version of Oblivion, but i have to say – nothing differs much!
You can also watch the review from Gametrailers, that’s another great view to the game. I think, after those two videos you will be ready to buy the game and play it at your high-end ps3 system 
WHERE TO GET IT?
Now, don’t make mistake wich i did. I bought the simple Oblivion IV version, without the expansion pack. Only after searching a little bit more, and much more later, i found out that the main game + two expansion packs (Shivering Isles and The knights of the nine). That’s pack is called “Oblivion IV: The game of the year”, and can be found on ebay Cost is the same, and you get mor of this game.. Also, if you not satisfied with ebay, if you are afraid of sellers or any other reason, you can get it from Amazon, hugest shop online. The price is about 30$, plus shipping (depending on where you live), so i guess it’s not so expensive for the 60+ hours gameplay, right?
You may need to mention that Oblivion for PS3 or Xbox is faulty. 60 hrs of gameplay? You have even scratched the surface of Oblivion. You can easily play hundreds of hours gameplay if you want to squeeze everything thing Oblivion has to offer not to mention anything you can think of. BUT, there’s a bug present in game that after you reach around 459 hours of gameplay, the game glitches out and becomes unplayable. Which means you lose everything you’ve played and worked to get in those 459 hrs. All the money, completed quests, treasure and character leveling (which when done to it’s max, can take almost half the allotted time) is gone.
It pisses me off that Oblivion got rave reviews and sold tons of games and lived up to it’s hype as a “system seller” and then this knife in the back from Bethesda. I understand why everyone loved it because nobody had played that far in the game to encounter the “A-Bomb” bug (as it’s now known to be called). But now lots of gamers are complaining about it and I haven’t heard anything in the mainstream gaming media…magazines, online or TV.
I contacted Bethesda about and they said they can’t do anything about it. And it seems they don’t plan on trying either. And why not? They made their money. I loved Oblivion and spent a lot of money and put in a lot of time in this game, as did so many other gamers, only to have this game crash and burn. I haven’t purchased anything from Bethesda since and after this whole debacle I haven’t been doing any gaming, buying or playing, for over a year.
I bought my ps3 to play oblivion GOTY Edtion I have restarted this and have completed it and spent 245+ hours with all but 2 quests with all weapons etc I love this game the levelling weapons,QuestsHorses to move and my personel fave is the knights of the 9 expansion pack.Only downside is the game does crash quite a lot so make sure to save a lot.They defentlty need more voice actors as I think there is only 6 and hopefully Elder Scrolls 5 skyrim (11/11/2011) will sort these issues and your charector will speak fingers crossed.I also dont like the way fallout 3 is compared to this as that is now way as detailed or good as this.I have started this game again and am now 45 hours in playing as a mage and using mace 2.I cant wait for Es5 in november hopefully will be even better.
Over 200 hours clocked. SO FAR.
And I haven’t even scratched the surface.
it’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion you twat.
