I will check it out on PC... If I choose to buy a X360 later, this will definitely be my first game on that system.
A rare but always joyful event, when a game exceeds it's hype. |

Well, I can't ignore it now. I've never been particularly interested in Oblivion, but I'm not so pig-headed to pass up on what could be a terrific game.

They'll downgrade it to a 6 on reflection over the weekend
Just kidding people - like everyone else, I will now actually read the review :-) |

10/10? What the hell is going on with review scores.
Not to mention you thought the interface was great, when everyone on the ESF forums says its horrid(no tooltips?). I've been playing this for two days, fun adventure/action game, really really really bad RPG(and combat is still almost as bad as morrowinds) and while it isnt as buggy as Morrowind, it's not far off. Radiant AI isnt any superior from a gamers perspective to traditional scripted gameplay and in some circumstances is inferior. Your actions with one faction have no impact on other factions.

Cracking review Kristan. As I said in the forum, I'd have hated reviewing this as theres so much you can do and to know where to start singing its praises is very tough.
What I like about is more than any other game I've played 25 odd years or so is right from the first 5 minutes you get the feeling you're playing something VERY special. Now someone give them an LotR or Labyrinth licence :) |

I like the interface, generally, but it has some minor flaws - like ave mentioned, no tooltips. Also, I'd like to have my invenotry open at the same time as the inventory of something I loot, so I can compare if it's worth picikng stuff up. But apart from that, it works great (and I am playing it on the PC), and I am finding it more intuitive than Morrowind's.

It's superior to Morrowind in almost every way, but it's still far, far from a perfect game(which according to EG, is whats required for a 10).
Morrowind I'd give a 5(6 after patches, 7 with mods), Oblivion an 8. Furbs, no tooltips, bad inventory management & weird keybinds, probably more things I've forgotten. Also, the ESF forums are even more fanboyish than the bioware ones :p

"It's superior to Morrowind in almost every way, but it's still far, far from a perfect game(which according to EG, is whats required for a 10)."
Erm, have you actually read the scoring criteria? And I quote "Let us make absolutely clear that a 10 is not and probably never will be "the perfect game". Hardly the "perfect" you are talking about. |

Ave - I'm not specifically using other sites to justify our score. Awards come from all manner of sources, not just mags. I just think this will scoop untold awards, it's that sort of game, and if you don't think so, that's a shame for you, really. I've reviewed over 130 games in the past year, and this tops the lot.
