Fallout New Vegas Review (By Carter)

Fallout 3, Bethesda's take on the Fallout universe and the only good Fallout game since Fallout 2, came to receive critical acclaim and multiple game of the year awards. We are two years in the future, and Obsidian has created the next game in the series, Fallout New Vegas. There is something glaring when you first boot up the next game in the stellar franchise: Fallout New Vegas is broken. This game is one of the buggiest games that I have ever played. However, that should not stop you from enjoying this masterpiece of writing and characters.
Fallout New Vegas feels a lot more like a very large expansion then a new game. However, Fallout New Vegas has some new features. With one of the complaints of Fallout 3 being that its hard to play without using VATS every ten seconds, Fallout New Vegas has iron sights, which does not help at all. VATS almost makes iron sights unnecessary, as you will once again be using VATS every ten seconds. Fallout New Vegas also has mods, where you can add variables to guns, like a scope, or a higher ammo capacity. However, these were hard to find and most of the time were useless. Where Fallout New Vegas shines the most is in it's incredible cast of characters and its superb writing. Fallout New Vegas has writing on par with games like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. You emphasize with the characters more easily and it creates a more of an immersible experience. The voice acting, like as in Fallout 3, is amazing. Stars like Matthew Perry and Danny Trejo really make the characters shine. The only problem with having such a star-studded cast is that all the characters who are not voiced well stick out. Fallout New Vegas is an experience similar to Fallout 3. If you loved that, then you will love Fallout New Vegas. If you didn't then Fallout New Vegas will not change your mind.

Bottom line
9/10
