No it isn't.

A game is far more than its landscapes and its buildings. It is the playing experience, it is the scripts and the NPC, it's the sense of satisfaction at completing a quest.

Sorry to say but Oblivion wasn't exactly revolutionary it its environments, while playing it I was getting flashbacks to every fantasy film I'd ever seen, but why I enjoyed it was its story.

Show the video to someone who had never played Oblivion and would they say that they didn't recognise the environment, or would they start mentioning the Lord of Rings or other fantasy movies.
