Washington Post Review
Most game worlds feel shallow and paper-thin, but Oblivion's is almost overwhelmingly deep. The game works equally well if you're the type of player who likes to swing a sword, throw fireballs, or sneak around and pick pockets. Play Oblivion one way and you'll find out that a merchant is a grave robber or that some of the women of Tamriel are running around on their husbands. But you could wander in another direction for a few dozen hours of gameplay and never stumble across any of these little intrigues.
