Never got round to playing Fallout 3. Fun game if a little dated feeling. Very Mad Maxesque. I'm not very far into the game, in the early parts of the map which are kind of sparse.
The Good
Interesting storyline, reviews are very polarized. Some think it's a brilliant storyline others think it's less involving than Fallout 3.
Fantastic landscapes and I love the combat system.
LOTS of weapons. Gimme gimme gimme and you can customize them. I currently have a 5.56 varmint rifle which I have attached a night vision scope and silencer to, I used it to sneak into a Raider base and cleared the whole place out one by one in the dead of night. Had I gone in all guns blazing I'd have been dead within seconds.
Deep, die hard role-playing mechanics. No dumbing down for the masses here. Lots of ways to customize your characters abilities.
Hardcore mode means that you have to hunt, drink, sleep and see doctors for injuries otherwise you die, the game suddenly becomes a very hard and interesting survival game.
The Bad
Feels a bit to much like a western at the moment, I was hoping for a slightly more futuristic post apocalyptic world.
Clunky interface. Worse than the other Bethesda games I have played such as Morrowind and Oblivion. It feels like an old school PC game and it's not as well polished as the games we have come to expect from compaies such as Rock Star. (Red Dead Redeption)
2008 graphics.
Poor animations.
Idiot AI.
