IMO, it was claimed as an Oblivion killer, but it's obviously not. If your expecting a GOTY RPG in TW, I think you'd be hugely disapointed.
However, I'm expecting a fun, not too intepth complementary RPG to Oblivion, that is inferior in most ways, but is still rather fun. And I think I'll get that.
The 8p multiplayer DOES, however sound very fun, and could easily make it grade A material.
I'm expecting review scores to hover around the low 80s. It was, however, reviewed in Germany and got near-Oblivion scores (I think a 9.2-9.3) because of the Multiplayer.
It seems like TW is going to hover over more of the Fable line of things, with hints of Oblivion. TW is supposed to be 100+hrs, and for that, I'm glad.
I am going to add this to my "must buy" pile of RPGs, as I think I'm buying everyone this year.
If I can get a few more GS points on M:UA, get/beat Shivering Isles, I'll be in the top 100 RPG gamers by GS in history :)
I got 1000/1000 on Phantasy Star, Enchanted Arms, and Oblivion, and a 580+ on M:UA.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
