Here is a game that defines the term "Huge". I played this game through twice for a total of 240 hours. First as a mace wielding Orc and the second as shadowy lizard man thief: and as I write this review I'm planning a third trip as a spell casting dark elf. Oblivion is supremely fun to play; the controls are smooth and easy to use, every menu or stat you will need is at your finger tips. Aside from some of its short comings, namely NPC sound and visuals, Bethesda is doing a great job making the game world seem alive. With tons of skills, abilities, and spells there is plenty of stuff to make all those hours you will burn up entertaining and fun. Oblivion is a total package of action, exploration, and character development. I highly recommend Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I hate to use a word like "Value" because it has a negative element to it, like its cheap, and that's not fair to Oblivion. For the amount of hours you can play it, it's a great value (about .35 cents per hour) and every hour is a joy. What other game can you say that about? It's like a great novel you've been reading for a month and when it's done you're sad that it's over; so you start over again.
