The gameplay is more fun with the new iron sights, the story is more intricate and well told, the sounds have been improved and it's LESS glitchy than Fallout 3. Now... I really hate having my PS3 crash because of a game, and Fallout New Vegas has crashed my system twice now, but it isn't nearly as bad as Fallout 3 as far as stability. If it weren't for the occasional crashes and glitches, i'd give this game a 10... but all things considered, I think a 9 would be reasonable. Again, this game is better in every way than Fallout 3.… Expand

It brings the right aspects forward from Fallout 3 while incorporating its own new twist to the Fallout franchise. The game play is smooth, combat is quick and fun, and who doesn't enjoy blowing a fiend's head off with the Goby Companion Scout Rifle. New Vegas is one of the greatest RPGs of all time and is deserving to be in the conversation around the two other fallouts, the elder scrolls, and dragon age. Highly recommend purchasing this game even years after release.… Expand

However, despite the fact that many critics and fans alike have labelled the graphics engine of new vegas as outdated, and the fact that many people have said that this is more like an expanison of fallout 3 than a new game, i bought the game. After 15 hours of gameplay can say that this truly is a fantastic game, a far more rewarding experience than F3 (which is saying something). The inclusion of factions is a revelation, the new combat system (iron sights in particular) is great, hardcore mode is unforgiving, and the overall depth of the storyline/world as a whole is amazing. Forget all the talk about glitches and outdated graphics, in a world of 10-hour single player games fallout new vegas is more than just a game, it is an incredible, immersive experience, a world of unexpected twists and turns in which the minor 'glitches' fade into oblvivion in the face of what is a truly great achievment in gaming. A must have on the shelves of gamers.… Expand

Unfortunately, itIf you liked Fallout 3, you'll like Fallout NV as it's the same type of game with a different story and some nice additions. Unfortunately, it can't get a score as high as it's predecessor because there are too many bugs that freezes the game. I'm playing Hardcore mode and it's a great way to think a little bit more before charging the enemy. I still love VATS and the universe where you walk alone on the wasteland in search of friend/foes and caps!… Expand

   FNV is a post apocalyptic open world RPG that can be played from both the 1st and 3rd person perspectives.
   
   It's a really great game,FNV is a post apocalyptic open world RPG that can be played from both the 1st and 3rd person perspectives.
   
   It's a really great game, despite its many flaws. It kept me playing for hundreds of hours over multiple playthroughs even though it feels half-assed at times.
   
   Cons:
   
   - This game has a very slow start that is probably off-putting to impatient players but trust me, it gets better.
   
   - The world isn't exactly "open." The lower part of the map loops around some mountains and you're basically forced to go in one direction at the beginning, and then the world opens up after a certain point, but it's filled with invisible walls and again, freakin' mountains (visible walls heh). HOWEVER this map structure is important for setting up the story.
   
   - I'm all for "gameplay > graphics" but cmon. How can a 2008 game (FO3) THAT USES THE SAME ENGINE have better graphics than a 2010 game. How. The environments are really dull, too. Oh, and the animations are terrible.
   
   - Ending could've been executed better.
   
   - Many things feel unfinished (like certain questlines, Legion comes to mind) and useless (like the survival skill, even on hardcore mode).
   
   - Speaking of which, hardcore mode would've worked much better if the game had the same survival aspect as FO3, and better companion AI. Instead you're gonna end up babysitting/leaving your companions to prevent them from dying and you won't ever starve to death unless you make it your personal agenda to ignore food.
   
   Now the good stuff:
   
   - Factions and reputation. I don't know any other game that does these things so well.
   
   - Branching storylines and multiple solutions for every quest (even side quests). Meaningful choices.
   
   - Every. NPC. Is. Killable. Well except one.
   
   - Same Fallout 3 gameplay, with the same awesome gore and even better weapons, and this time you can live without VATs, as there are iron sights.
   
   - Companions actually have personalities and sometimes comment on what happens in the game, and they all have their own storylines.
   
   - As a Fallout fan, the fact that this adds a lot to the amazing Fallout lore makes it even better.
   
   In terms of bugs, etc... I couldn't finish one quest and the game crashes every 3 hours or so (with the DLC installed, otherwise it runs fine for me). The DLC aren't included in this review btw.
   
   Being a fan of Fallout 3 doesn't mean you'll like New Vegas though. They might look the same but they're actually completely different games.
   
   I recommend this game to any RPG fan, specially fans of the original Fallouts, considering you can overlook the bad graphics and in some cases, bugs. It's fun, deep, and cracks you up from time to time.
   
   8/10.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game until you come to find that the game doesn't end as Fallout 3 with the DLCs, where you could continue playing the same player after you finish the main game. I really don't get this from the developers, it's just lazy and ridiculous. If you want to play any DLC you have to load a previous save file as if you have never finished the game. Freaking stupid.… Expand
