Alright, here's my first review.

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion

Oblivion is the 4th game in the award winning Elder Scrolls series. This series is notable for it's openess. You don't just have to do quests, you can go and mess around too. In adition, this game's graphics are some of the best in the world. It's like this: When you are walking in the woods, you can see the trees swaying in the breeze, or when you are talking to someone, you can see the light in their eyes.

On a more sophisticated note, Oblivion's story is it's worst part. The story opens up with the Emperor of the Cyrodillic Empire (an empire based on the Roman Empire in the fictional planet of Nirn the game is set on) fleeing from mysterious assasins decked in red. To only way to escape: through the prison cell where you just happened to be imprisoned, where the Emperor recruits you to help him escape! Is that unrealistic or what! If Herbert Hoover was trying to escape assasins, would he try to recruit Al Capone to help him? Not likely! After a chase through the sewers, the assasins corner the Emperor and kill him, leaving you and one of his secret service as the only survivors. It turns out that you have to help the Empire's secret service (The Blades) stop the impending invasion of Merunes Dagon, the ruler of an area on the nearby planet of Oblivion, who has realized the weakness of Nirn with the leader of it's major superpower dead. In the Roman inspired world Oblivion is set in, it hardly seems likely for an alien invasion!

While the outlandish story is bad, nearly everything else about Oblivion is good. Oblivion uses a system called Radiant AI, which makes the characters in the game act like real people. For example, people have a set schedule. They wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, go to work, eat lunch, enjoy chitchat with neighbors, eat dinner, go out drinking at one of the games many taverns, and then go to sleep. Another interesting feature is the inclusion of guilds. Guilds are like clubs of people who specialize at something. Some examples are the Fighters Guild or the Theives Guild. When you complete all of the quests of a guild, you become the leader of the guild and get to boss around the other members. The best guild is the Dark Brotherhood, which is a guild for assasins. It's quests are among the most creative in the game. There is even a quest based on the Agatha Christie novel, "10 little Indians"!

Another notable part of Oblivion is it's roleplaying. For example, if you want to be a merchant, then just go to the store, buy some items, and then go to another store and sell the items for a higher price. If you want to be a detective, then you can go investigate recently murdered people and proove their guilt or inoccence. The possibilities are limitless!

A final part of Oblivion is it's sound track. The sound track sounds suspiciosly like that of Pirates of the Caribbean, which only adds to it's enjoyment. In a better note, if an enemy is about to attack you, then the music changes to a chase sort of music, enableing you to quickly fight back.
