If you never quite “got” Fallout 3, New Vegas won’t be the epiphany that shows you what you’ve been missing. But for anyone who adored the frantic post-apocalyptic, choose-your-own-path vibe of Bethesda’s original sprawling stunner, this trip to the sin-soaked West is one hell of a kickass homecoming.

You can beat the entire main story of Fallout: New Vegas in less than 20 hours, but that would be giving the game short shrift. It is really about savoring every little detail and side quest until you’ve seen everything there is to see.

In New Vegas, the fun Fallout 3 formula is intact, with more polished combat, high-quality side missions, and the exciting setting of the Vegas strip. Unfortunately, the bugs also tagged along for the ride.

Maybe Obsidian’s lack of familiarity with Bethesda’s technology resulted in New Vegas’ plateau. Maybe Bethesda barked orders to make it identical to Fallout 3. In any case, gamers should expect more of the same from this follow-up. If Fallout 3 holds a place among your top 10 games of this generation like it does for me, another rewarding 200-plus hours of survival awaits you.

Major technical problems blemish this enjoyable and sophisticated adventure through the western wastes.

This game was deeefinitely not the same as Fallout 3. I don't know, it just didn't have the same classic feel that i felt when I played Fallout 3. I am "okay" with the new soundtrack, and I'm really grateful with the new music. Oh my gosh, I cannot be happier that there is a lack of supermutants. Thank the gods that they all live in one concentrated area and that they're not violent!

The onslaught of new companions made me happier. I'm so glad that they decided to have clans. Having the clans made it easy to pick a path. The multiple endings is like icing on the cake.
