Advantages: Huge environment, VAT system, Great theme

Disadvantages: Not so great graphics, Release bugs

After playing this game from beginning to end and completing almost all the side quests, it is definitely one of the best games I have played in a long while.

The graphics aren't the best but provide a suitably themed beautifully crafted environment which is easy to get immersed into. The facial graphics of the characters etc. are a little ghost like but it's a small price to pay for a game of this size, and this much content.

I won't spoil the story here, it's not the best but it does the job of providing a well rounded exciting experience and some of the side quests are quite interesting.

The controls of the game, I found took some getting used to but once I had, they seemed to work well enough and I loved the VAT system which provided nice breaks between all the action and kept some of FallOut 3's RPG routes.

Some of the downsides of the game include the bugs which were mostly present when the game had just launched on ps3 but a few still remain. Overall I think If you own an Xbox 360, then you might be better buying that version although this one is certainly playable since the bug patches.

Overall I found this game to be a vast, exciting, and quite refreshing experience with a great theme and feel to the game. If you play the side quests then the game should be good for at least 30 hours of gameplay and theres allot of DLC now available aswell. Definately NOT one to miss, despite a few shortcomings I feel it is an essential addition to any game library.

Summary: Essential to any game collection
