An "improved" Also Post Apocalyptic and with Guns Oblivion sequel? It does look like it...
Well i tought it was just look a like, when I left the Shelter... it reminded me of the very beggining of oblivion, but now, it wasn't all green and bunnies jumping around, it was a post apocalyptic place, near DC, called Wasteland. The radio gave it quite a cool feeling, and the music there was awesome. There is a humor touch in this game which is also great... but it just reminds me of playing oblivion...maybe an Oblivion Mod?
Let's go specific:
Gameplay:
To start, I must say that in first-person mode it is pretty cool, jumping and stuff, Combat mode is kinda... I don't know crappy? while using guns because basically you don't have this cool things we have today in FPS, blindfire, cover, etc. So if you have a gun shoot fast, or use the VATS system to kill faster or you will die.
By talking on that, VATS is a cool addition to "Oblivion" i like the way it goes, other good thing is you cant use it forever so basically you must know how to fight also.
And now, when we play in "Third-Person"... the walking is bugged, and looks stupid.Fighting is also a bit harder, but its cool to see when there is someone behind you. Basically I use it while traveling on foot long distances.
Score: 7/10
Graphics:
Damn! This one is good, it is really nice and doesn't require much from my PC. I must say graphically it is awesome, and all that blood, and how VATS flows with all this, IF, and i repear IF I ever rated a game by it's graphics it could be one of the best.
Score: 9.5/10
Sound:
You gotta love the soundtrack, it adds a great feeling to the game, the menus, the radio, the bosses...except for NPCs I think there is some bug with them. But damn i just love the radio... You are walking on a wasteland full of nothing and destroyed buildings, and you have this Funny, Old music...
Score: 9/10
General:
This game could have been something way better, don't get me wrong, not saying it's bad, but I think there was a lot of potential wated with this one. It is true we have lots of quests, and graphically this game is insane, but there are flaws. If it was my call i Wouldn't put Bethesda or whatever they are called. I may always tell you its true and everything but we must accept that in RPGs Japanese are the best... Yes that is correct, we may have good RPGs but they never can be compared to the Uberness of a Japanese RPG... The quests after doing 10 Optional quests you can't play more, because they all get to be the same at the end.
Final Score: 8/10
