Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion -- Revised & Expanded (Xbox360, PC) (Prima Official Game Guide) Reviews
Ah the World of Oblivion. What I especially enjoyed about this book was how it gave you a little "behind the scenes" insight into the story, the characters, and the expansive land that is Cyrodiil. The text in many of the sidebar sections of the pages are horribly blurred - in some sections completely unintelligible - sections that of course pertain to the main storyline of the game. I had to return the first book - a series of pages were crimped and terribly misprinted.
The book is huge. On occassions when I'd get a little trigger happy and skip some dialogue, I could usually go back to the book to pick up the part of story that I missed. Quite simply one of the most amazing games ever made, in my humble opinion. Especially helpful is an index, which allows you to quickly get help on some of the more obscure topics of Oblivion, such as the magical soul gems, buying houses, and owning horses.
Don't buy a shrink-wrapped copy. Aside from poor printing issues, the book contains an unbelievable amount of information. The game guide - well, it could be better. Also, be sure to flip through the non-quest information towards the back of the book - there's some pretty neat stuff documented that without this book, most players probably wouldn't even know about.
I would have returned the second copy but the retailer did not have another. Leaf through it to make sure it's legible, then sit down and prepare to use a lot of spare time.
They talked me into playing it (I don't play a lot of video games) and I got hooked. I really like the feeling of total freedom of movement and choice of adventures to partake of. If you haven't played RPG before, you'll love this one. It is amazing how a person can do what he wants, go where he wants, when he wants in a game. I got this game for my teenage kids. The scenery and animation is breathtaking and the game interaction is exciting and enjoyable.
This game has great graphics and LOTS of detail. I really don't know how someone would play it without the Guide.
Though it does NOT include the Shivering Isle's strategy this is STILL a great purchase for those picking up the game. One of the few guides that help in varying approaches to enemies and bosses. Prima has always been very classy about their guides, even including a few shakey no-no's(initial guide's were not binded very well) they've always managed to put their own personal touches into certain guides, as if to let us now that this is one they enjoyed playing immensely. Now here's an extended manual we can all love.
An excellent guide. The only thing I would've done different is made different colored edges for each section so I wouldn't have to use stickies for quick flipping. Very easy to find a section for later reference. Complete and thorough.
