This game is unbelievable.
Man was that an understatement.
This is undoubtedly one of the best games I have ever played. There are so many elements of this game that make it unique and incredible.
One, which is probably my favorite, is the V.A.T.S., which is a targeting system which really adds to the RPG aspect of this game. Not only does it make fighting enemies a little more fun than just pointing and shooting, it causes enemies to die in different, fun ways every time. Not only that, it also shows everything in a very cinematic, slow-motion way, just to make it that much cooler. This is one game that doesn't waste any of it's almost exaggerated blood and gore. A very good game for lovers of hard core violence.
Now to go a little deeper into this game. This is a game without limits. You can go anywhere, do anything, anytime you want. It gives you a freedom that makes it so realistic, while at the same time giving you quests to do so you don't get bored just running around the wasteland killing things (which i actually find quite fun). Also one thing i noticed is that there really isn't a single cutscene in the entire game. You are in control the entire time. You choose what to say, what to do, how to it. This aspect of the game really makes you feel like YOU are the main character, and not like you are watching a movie like games such as Metal Gear Solid 4, which is an amazing game in all it's own ways, don't get me wrong. I love MGS4. But back on subject now.
The weapons in this game are really something else. You start out finding typical weapons like a pistol and shotgun and stuff, but some of the guns you find in later this game are just too cool. One of my favorites is the Fat Man, which is a gun that shoots Mini Nukes. The name pretty much sums them up. If you are within 30 feet of one of these things when it blows up, it's game over for you. This gun has gotten my out of several sticky situations. These incredible weapons coupled with the V.A.T.S. creates a gameplay experience unmatched by anything I have ever played.
All that on a limitless map? You got yourself one heck of game there. I recommend this game to everyone who thinks everything i just talked about sounds the least bit cool, because i promise it is even better than i can describe. Buy it.
