So, we've all heard of it right, the game thats supposed to replace oblivion. Well, I haven't personally played it, but for those who have, what are your impressions? What do you think of the game? Here are the reviews from G4, IGN, and Gamespot.

Weekly tune. Trans Siberian Orchestra - Wizards in Winter

Am I not the most versatile dragon that persistently haunts this forum like an never lasting plague. Fear not. As I'm all but a friendly airborne lizard who wished to see his friends safe and protected from the chaos that resides within the four walls of space.

Adventure at it's best. Read the Adventure Island as one of my best RP's out there.
In memory to the greatness of Sword and Shield. This is how I began my RP adventure. Have a read if your ever need in some cool adventure.

Well I've had the chance to play this for a few hours.
Not much that is. And it's brilliant, and I wouldn't consider it difficult. Yet there are difficult in terms that there are four different difficult levels. The hardest means, nor foe or friend alike will stand out from your punches/arrows and so forth. Be careful that is.

Now to the combat system. I thought this would turn out being one of those hack and slash, where you constantly smash the A button repeatedly over and over again.
Well I didn't noticed until later, (didn't check manual that is.) That the combat works automatic, sort of. You control all the abilities, all team mates if desirable, and of course it's your choice whether to move from the current position.

Your almost all the time fighting along side a few people.
And each one actually you don't want to see get killed. Yet I haven't had any emotions about em yet. But it's still early in the game that is.

But if I'd say. If your interested. Go get it. It's at least worth every score it's been given.
Also the tactic system I haven't get used to yet. I guess you'll just have to experience.

And finally, the alternatives when in conversations are sometimes hilarious.
No undoubtedly it's not Oblivion. It's different and somewhat unique in it's own way. Well I have some enjoyable hours ahead of me at least. :D

One more question, is it a really open world, or more linear?

Well basically it hasn't for me. Because I haven't completed the prologue yet.
When that's finished, you'll have the chance to travel back and forth. Yet I haven't come that far, so can't really tell.

But if your familiar with Mass Effect, then it's similar to this one.
