CCGR (Christ-Centered Game Reviews) has posted their review of Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. The game is scored on two levels: Gameplay and Appropriateness, each garnering 50% of the score. Gameplay in this review earned 46/50 points with very similar commentary to most other review sites. However, appropriateness from the Christian perspective (emphasis mine) earned only 23/50, hence bringing in a total score of 69/100. It should be noted that most of the objections come from a parental perspective and focus on whether or not the actual rating is appropriate: This game is rated Teen and I don’t know why it was not awarded a Mature rating. There’s violence (-4), and blood (but it can be disabled +1) when you’re slashing things with a weapon. There’s swearing (-5) and blaspheming (-5) too. There are nine gods in this world so I’m not sure if they’re blaspheming their gods or our God. There are sexual references as in live in couples (-3) and there’s an NPC who asks you about a fine for necrophilia. Magic is used heavily (-5), it’s optional to use it but it will be used on you regardless. On a positive note the Mages guild (for the most part) is against necromancy. With the different races there is prejudice in this game and many of the races hate each other (-1.5). Some characters tend to sleep in their underwear, I have noticed this with female characters. (-3.5) Finally, I was happy to see no occult symbols in this game but there is an occult type religion/worship. Many of the post-review comments are interesting with the author weighing in on the 'whys' of her decision. Read the whole review here. | | Source: CCGR |
