Maybe the best single player I've ever played.
In the beginning when you are born... you get to choose how you look like when you are older. After that you will spend sometime as a baby in the so far happy Vault 101, after that as a little kid where you get to have your birthday party, and then as a teenager where you will get your first weapon. After that you are fully-grown.
This game really feels like a real adventure, because you can choose if you are a good or evil character, or something in the middle by playing the game further and making decisions. The wasteland is huge (atleast over 50sq kilometres?) and there are lot of interesting places to explore. There are though bugs because of the big area.The wasteland is full with scary monsters born by the radiation of the bomb and you can't avoid the gore. :)
You can choose if you wish to play in First person or third person (and change it any time you want), so that problem is solved right away.
There are many side quests in addition to the main story, that can be completed whenever you want (if you have the access to the place).
One thing worth mentioning is the shooting. You get to stop the game and choose, which body part to aim at. You can't of course do this all the time though. I would say the shooting still consists of this pretty much. But it's cool, because you can see how big the chance is in percents to hit the part of the body.
One thing I liked in the game too were the weapons and all the skills you can choose, whenever you level up. You are even allowed to make own weapons.
This game was maybe the best single player I've ever played.
And in the end: Who would I recommend this game to?
If you like a good story, exploring, gore and roleplaying. You must be an experienced player too, because this game was hard even on the easy level.
