Difficulty:

Just Right

Time Spent:

10 to 20 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Immersive"

I just played Oblivion for the first time this month (yes, I know it's 2012), and I am thoroughly impressed. It is not the type of game I would normally play - hence my non-interest in The Elder Scrolls until recently - but I sincerely regret not giving this game a try back when I first purchased my PS3.

Within an hour, I was completely immersed in Oblivion. So much so, that I began to find myself thinking while laying in bed at night about what I would do in the game the following day. I can honestly say that no game has ever crept into my thoughts on such a consistent basis before.

Graphics are good enough, although I have seen that Skyrim is much better - and seeing the popularity of Skyrim is what led me to take the plunge and purchase the GOTY edition of Oblivion a few weeks ago.

To anyone who has yet to play this game, all I can say is that you've waited long enough, and it's time to give The Elder Scrolls a try.
