Fallout: New Vegas

Nuff said...



My review is too short so here are some extra words for padding.

Fallout: New Vegas is a game that can be played in every way: you could play though the main story and call it a day, or you could be a completionist like me and try to milk it for all it's worth over several separate playthoughs. you can go around with a sniper rifle on your back and try to take down your enemies before they see you, or you can go in with an assault rifle, or an SMG, or a plasma rifle, or a laser rifle for that matter. you can be noisy and rush in with your grenade MG, or with your trusty chainsaw, or, you can be sneaky and fight with a silenced pistol, SMG or sniper. what i'm trying to say is that the possibilities are virtually endless, and it is up to you to decide what suits you best.

That is just one aspect of the game. What really makes this game one of the best is simply the atmosphere it has. No game in history has ever made you wish a nuclear apocalypse more than this one. weather it be the wide, desolate yet wild landscapes, ranging from scorching deserts to snowy mountains to vast lakes (not as peaceful as it sounds), or maybe the endless sub stories hidden throughout the many computer terminals that are present in all of the ruins scattered about the Mojave wasteland, this game is huge. not just in the size of the map, but in the stories that go along with it, because for all those people who think that this game has no character development, you are mistaken, for the character with the most depth and mystery is the Mojave Desert itself.

As with all Fallout games in the series; the whole concept of the game is mind blowing. The sheer adventure of walking through a post apocalyptic wasteland may not appeal to some, but for those who support the series this is most definitely the best. Fallout 3 was brilliant, but was a bit depressing to play. New Vegas definitely has a better vibe to it, and it also contains more people and weapons. although there are a few minor let downs, 1. Quite Glitchy, a few unfinished rock graphics, slip into one you're stuck and must load back. 2. Danny Trejo's Voice doesn't really suit the ghoul character he plays 3. Main Story ends too quickly. But, apart from that: Brilliant.

In my honest opinion, this is the best fallout game. The lights of new Vegas, the multiple endings, the soundtrack, all the different settlements and the reputation system within the settlements. This game has it all! The wild wasteland trait really adds some great references in the game aswell

The deepest, most complex and well-written RPG of all time. It lets you truly do anything with the world and characters and the whole event feels like a complex rolling epic that you have total control over. Obsidian need to make the next game in this series. Better than anything Bethesda did with Fallout (not that I don't like Fallout 3).
