This is one of the best games ever made. Such a full game. This Is a Must Buy For Everyone. INCLUDING YOU!!!
Story: you start out as a baby born in the vault and choose your name and look. Then later you choose you special stats as a baby. Later when you're a 10 you get a pip boy 3000. Next you take a quiz to find your future job then next thing you know your escaping the vault and find out what has been happening wail you were in your cozy little community your whole life. in short your dad left you and you go to find him and discover everything in the wasteland as you go, leaving you with the epic choice to save the capitol wasteland and possibly the world or destroy everything. if you take a second and breath in all of which happened in the past and present, you can get really get depressed if you really think about it.
Gameplay: is almost exactly like oblivion. If you haven't played oblivion, its basically a FPS with a lot of RPG backed up in it. V.A.T.S is also one of the most original parts of the game. Just press right bumper aim at limb and shoot it in a slowmo sequence for a very rewarding and enjoyable kill. Basic experience level up instead of oblivion's slow and difficult set up. it is a super satisfying shooter and RPG. there is more then a hundred weapons in the game and even more apparel/Aid and Ammo
Graphics/Sound: its ok if you play with a standard tv. but what i learned is if you got a HDTV it turns out absolutely spectacular. the detail to everything in that Huge world makes your brain go nuts. the sound is also amazing. the echo of the radio mixed with the breeze of the wind are simply sublime, then the crack and base of your shot and explosion of a car is like massaging your brain with silk.
Setting: large map with plenty of enemies and interesting characters to keep playing even after you complete every single quest. the game (like bioshock) oozes and captures past events and how terrible the world is now. very gritty and not full of vibrant colors and i wouldn't have it any other way..
DLC: great for all you level 20 go getters! And with all this new and diverse selection you'll even consider getting a new character if you already haven't. the only two that seemed cheap were the first two, but i still suggest buying them all. or getting the game of the year edition.
Cons: (For a game that has everything after you're done with the DLC everything just isn't that that new anymore, it's like you've done everything there is and you just want a epic fight with something new. But don't worry, this will only happen to you once your done with all the quests (including DLC) discovered all the locations, and got to level 30. Yep, took me a long time to do.)
SCRATCH EVERYTHING I SAID! I'm still playing it!
IN CONCLUSION! I can go on for days talking about this game but instead just BUY IT and play more than 3 quests. you will absolutely be blown away. i promise.. sorry for such a long review. I could have put more but decided not to. If you got questions send me a message. Also, sorry about the grammar.. Ok! PEACE 8)
