Believe the post-nuculear holocaust hype! Once again, Bethesda rocks our worlds with a game so unique and so special (and extremely elaborate, might I add) that I'm surprised it even exists. It makes Oblivion look like Nintendogs as far as sophistication and style points go. This is categorically and definitively one of those games that you just can't put down. There are so many social options alone, and we're not talking the classic "Will you help me?" (if so, you're a 'good guy, if not, you're a 'bad guy'). There are multiple layers, options, and story arcs that can be spawned from building a relationship with a single NPC. As far as graphics go, I was pleased to learn that the game can be played in both 1st person and 3rd person perspective. You can switch between these even mid-battle. The battle system is balanced, exciting and new weapons seem to be everywhere (as long as you're searching a dead raider's body). The learning curve for the basic controls for this game could maybe max out at 20 minutes (assuming you've actually read the instructions, which I would suggest to anyone playing this title). There are lots of features in this game that I haven't seen anywhere else and I won't spoil them for you. You'll have to see them for yourself. Just roaming around and exploring has never been so fun. There is a main story which definitely does not have an "on rails" feeling, but there are side quests galore for those of you who really want an immersive experience. I paid almost full retail for this game and don't regret it one bit. In short... graphics: phenomenal! lush! on par with a gaming pc ... gameplay: balanced, does not become bland, a lot of thought went into it during the game's four year development process ... replay potential: limitless. My wife and I started playing this game on the same day and are both on completely different paths (with right around the same amount of time logged). We even have radically different relationships with certain main NPC's. Treat yourself to one of the best titles the XBOX 360 has to offer.
