Fallout New Vegas is the follow up to the hit RPG Fallout 3. Fallout is my favorite franchise of all time so maybe my review is slightly biased but I can'tbelieve the reviews for this game on most sites. First off, New Vegas is buggy, very buggy but it shouldn't hinder your experience with this game very much if any at all. I'm only about 40 hours into the game but from what I have seen so far the game is great. New Vegas is HUGE. There is more interaction with the inhabitants of the city and there looks to be more weapons. Also the most rewarding of my experience so far, Weapon Mods. You can add silencers, scopes, bigger magazines, and Mods that even improve overall damage for that weapon.
Combat is pretty much the same. Your going to have little luck with aiming on the run or even standing still for that matter. The game says you need to stop, crouch, and aim for maximum effectiveness of your weapon but who has time for that with a 500 pound Supermutant charging at you? VATS is still your best bet at taking down foes and is just as rewarding as it's predecessor. You can target specific limbs with VATS, even shoot the gun out of the baddie's hands if your good enough.
New Vegas looks great. A giant leap forward from the drab and depressing Fallout games of the past, but traveling through the desert feels more lonely than ever. Your actions in the game determine how certain towns and factions feel about you. I helped the town of Goodsprings defeat their enemies which gave me the 'Idolized' status there but in return the gang i fought now hates me so you have to use strategy more than before.
I could go on, and on about New Vegas but the bottomline is it is still a great game with TONS of stuff to do. You have to expect bugs with an eviroment so expansive. Yes New Vegas does play like Fallout 3 but shouldn't it? Fallout 3 was such a huge success(Game of the Year) that it makes no sense to fix what isn't broke. The new makeover and content is amazing and the game shouldn't be judged poorly for being so much like it's previous installment.
