there are other positive reviews out there as well, such as the rpgfan review not to mention the overwhelmingly positive fan response. Negative ones like the 6 that one famitsu reviewer gave it can be chalked up the brutal difficulty. As for the oblivion comment by Onna I completely disagree. Pretty much anything is better than Oblivion.
