Fallout New Vegas

    Product Review

    Release Date: 22 October 2010

    It's the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead...and that's before things really get ugly. It's a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It's a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way.

    As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you'll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare "winner takes all" and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3.

    • Feel the Heat in New Vegas! Not even nuclear fallout could slow the hustle of Sin City. Explore the vast expanses of the desert wastelands - from the small towns dotting the Mojave Wasteland to the bright lights of the New Vegas strip. See the Great Southwest as could only be imagined in Fallout.
    • Feuding Factions, Colorful Characters and a Host of Hostiles! A war is brewing between rival factions with consequences that will change the lives of all the inhabitants of New Vegas. The choices you make will bring you into contact with countless characters, creatures, allies, and foes, and determine the final explosive outcome of this epic power struggle.
    • New Systems! Enjoy new additions to Fallout: New Vegas such as a Companion Wheel that streamlines directing your companions, a Reputation System that tracks the consequences of your actions, and the aptly titled Hardcore Mode to separate the meek from the mighty. Special melee combat moves have been added to bring new meaning to the phrase "up close and personal". Use V.A.T.S. to pause time in combat, target specific enemy body parts and queue up attacks, or get right to the action using the finely-tuned real-time combat mechanics.
    • An Arsenal of Shiny New Guns! With double the amount of weapons found in Fallout 3, you'll have more than enough new and exciting ways to deal with the threats of the wasteland and the locals. In addition, Vault-Tec engineers have devised a new weapons configuration system that lets you tinker with your toys and see the modifications you make in real time.
    • Let it Ride! In a huge, open world with unlimited options you can see the sights, choose sides, or go it alone. Peacemaker or Hard Case, House Rules, or the Wild Card - it's all in how you play the game.

    Fallout New Vegas

    If you loved Fallout 3, then you will definitely like New Vegas, you just may not love it. It's hard to say this game has any faults of any kind (besides the obvious glitches, more on that later). If this game had come out without Fallout 3 first being released I'm sure everyone, and myself included, would be giving this game 5 stars. It didn't though, so it loses some points because it isn't fresh enough. Sure you don't want to change the game up too much because the last game was near perfect for what they were going for, and too much change could turn away a lot of fans. It just felt though like they were afraid to try anything really that different, so at times that game feels a little... stale. In the end if feels like a Fallout 3 expansion rather than a new game. Plus the graphics look a tad dated now, but that's a really minor complaint. Oh and I was disappointing at the size of The Strip, I was really hoping it would be bigger, with more buildings, lights, etc. So now the glitches. The biggest problem I've had is the game will freeze up when go into/out of buildings or fast traveling. So you have to hope you saved recently or the last autosaved worked. There have been a few times though where my last save AND autosave won't load after I restart the game. So that can be annoying. The other minor glitches I've had are enemies floating or getting stuck half way in the ground, and random problems with companions getting stuck. All in all the game is great and it's worth playing, whether you are new to the Fallout series or not. Just don't expect it to be as good or better than Fallout 3.

    An excellent choice!

    This game delivers much the same as the previous, excellent combat, many locations, a slightly less dull environment. Playing it through I have found several issues but most of the time it just adds to the magic in terms of funny bugs. Performance seems to be the biggest problem when in large rooms the game has trouble and starts to lag, that is why it didn't get the fifth star. All in all well worth the time to play it through many times over.
