Reasonable on 09 October 2009
8.8
Good - the setting, the atmosphere, some good missions, lot's of stuff to do, companions, etc. VATS
Bad - poor shooting, little too much brown and a little too much similarity between one place and the next, a buggy would have been nice, main story ends very weakly - like, we're thinking about some DLC to raise level cap and finish things up with a proper open ended finale weakly. Terrible 3rd person view. Usual bugs/glitches an open world game brings plus the usual balance issues.
If the shooting without VATS was decent, and they'd finished off the story fully in retail version then I'd give it 9.2.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
