Probably the most fun you can have with a RPG/FPS crossover!
I choose Roland, the hunter. I figured he was the most well rounded player of the 4 choices and I needed something that wasn't too difficult to master for my first play through. Since there is an almost unlimited amount of weapons to be found in this game, and each chest is random, it was nice to have a secondary gun as a special weapon, which Roland has. You are guided through to first town to Dr. Ned who will give you your first missions on your way to finding the Vault. The game pretty much pans out this way throughout, complete missions to open up new areas and then do some side missions to gain more EXP and gain better weapons. Most of the missions were fun and consisted of killing multitudes of enemies and creatures. of course, throughout the game you would be attacked constantly and always had to watch your back.
The endless weapons and ammo really are what makes the game fun. Each chest will hold random weapons with random stats. Eevry once in a while you get something really powerful and way above your level, which of course makes things easier. I was fortunate to find some really strong weapons early in the game and I was able to power my way into the final stages. I am an aggressive player and used the shotgun and machine guns a lot so having strong ones early made a huge difference. Then I found a level 335 sniper rifle when all other rifles were lower than 200. Now things were a breeze from a distance and I was able to finish missions from miles away. This was great for tough Bosses and side missions.
Another bonus was the ability to upgrade your ammo capacity and backback capacity and money was plentyiful. There was never a time when I was short on cash and I was always able to buy better items and more ammo. Soon having a shield became available and enemies had no chance.
The only negative for me was the Last Boss... although cool to look at and I can see how it would be tough. I accidently found a small nitch next to a pillar and he wasn't able to hit me. I unloaded my strongest gun and he was dead really quick. Maybe I should have moved, but why?
Overall the game experiance was awesome... enemies had good aim so it was challenging at times and the missions were never boring. Definately worth playing if you love a fun addicting game where violence is the answer!
