 Great addition to the Game November 12, 2008

This is a great addition to the Game it self. The game itself is a great addition to the series.
 Go with a different brand, or better yet....an oblivion wiki.... October 28, 2008

I bought this along with the game for x360. This guide is for all versions of the game(x360, ps3, pc, etc.) so what is correct for one platform might be different from your choosen platform. This results in having to figure out what is correct for you and what isn't(the guide says that this might not work for a specified platform but it isn't consistent or consistently correctin regards to this problem). I just got a fable 2 guide book a few days ago from a different brand and the fable book is 10 times better in all aspects. I would definately Not reccomend this book to anyone. I HAVE to suggest not throwing your money away on this and using an oblivion wiki(I'm not going to reccomend any wiki, but a quick search will bring up quite a few). I have found myself using a specialized wiki whenever I have a question about the game and I haven't even opened this book since the week after I opened it the first time(2 months or so). Since amazon doesn't give any guidelines for giving stars, I used this:
1 star: horrible
2 stars: below average
3 stars: average
4 stars: above average
5 stars: great

 Very useful guide for a GREAT game. October 24, 2008

Not required to enjoy Oblivion, but very very helpful, especially if you're looking for that item you missed. Well worth the green to get it. Covers all platforms and published add-ons. Second printing (available now) now correctly includes previously omitted maps, etc). Covers available spell/item creation criteria, item/quest locations, monster types and stats, complete quest writeups, screenshots and much more. Single annoying factor (that wasn't fixed with the first edition)remains the lack of proper indexing of quests. General categorizing is nice, but there is no rhyme or reason to the order of the listings, resulting in a lot of spoilers revealed while you're looking for the route that one NPC you need to talk to is travelling. Not a biggie or dealbreaker; just have a degree of patience while perusing this big tome of info.
A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!! September 1, 2008

I just got this book a few weeks ago. I've had Oblivion since I bought my 360 and this is one of they best RPG games of all time. The game is a must own. The game is massive, The biggest game world i've ever seen before. So of course if the game is massive your going to need a book that has easy to read conetnt, Lots of Maps,detailed information on the weapons, items, spells, potions, monsters ETC. This is the book!!!!!!! It has everything you need to know about playingt Oblivion. It even helps you make your character. Kind of like when you make your character in Dungeons and Dragons. It tells you how to maximize your character to the fullest even before you start your adventure. The overall walkthrough is amazing!!!! The book even tells you where to get started on your quest. Who to talk to if your doing a freedom quests or how to join the drak brotherhood and it even suggests who to kill so you don't mess up your game later on. It's a must have if you love this game. It will not just get you through that rough spot but it opens up all the possibilities that the game offers you. It opens up all the doors in this game. I don't think I would be able to know everything about this game if it wasn't for this book! I'm planning on getting the Shivering Isles and the Knights of The Nine one day. It has everything about them as well. All the maps are in the back and there are a lot of great maps. It even had all the downloadable content that you can get for the game. This book is priceless if you love this game. Buy this book! You won't be sorry. I've been playing games for over 13 years and this the best book i've owned for a game. Prima has done it again!!!!!! I don't know why it got bad reviews. The maps are in the back of the book and it has pages and pages of them.
