Fallout 3 fans won't be disappointed!

Game starts off brilliantly, it sinks it's hooks into you and doesn't let go.

In New Vegas you'll find wide open spaces much like Fallout 3, however the areas are more lively and interesting. The people you come across seem to have more depth than those in FO3. The main quest line in New Vegas is much larger than FO3's and isn't nearly as linear and the story telling along the way is just superb. The choices available run the course of the game, not just towards the end, and every choice is important and carries consequences or rewards. The weapon modding system is fantastic and really allows you to tailor a weapon that is right for your character, whether it be a hardcore mercenary or a silver tongued trader. The VATS system is very crisp, the companion feature makes it much easier to manage and utilize your friends.

Customization of your character is still somewhat stale with no real changes from FO3 which was a little disappointing however for some this could be considered trivial. With my experience so far the game has remained stable, I've experienced a few glitches and one crash so far as well as noticing a few bugs. Mainly NPCs falling through the floor :(

Overall any fan of Fallout 3 will enjoy this game very much. Even those who have never experienced any of the Fallout titles will enjoy hours upon hours of fun and enjoyable gameplay!

This edition of the Fallout series is great. It keeps all of the things that made Fallout 3 awesome, fixed a lot of the things that were annoying and added a lot of things that were missing. Some of the great things added are the use of iron sights, weapons mods, combining certain things to make meds that have different effects and the character interaction wheel. New creatures are great. I love that not all of them are hostile to you initially unless you tick them off by trying to harm them. The reputation system is great and can have great benefits in certain areas. If you loved Fallout 3 as much as I did, you will absolutely love Fallout: New Vegas!

The collector's edition is mediocre though. The hard cover comic is neat with great art inside. The Lucky 38 chip is a little underwhelming and I wish it looked like it does in the first pictures we saw of the CE. I really expected a heavier, chromed coin but this seems to be a cheaper tin-like coin. The poker chips from the different casinos are very well made. They are made exactly the same as real poker chips from real casinos are made. Heavy and good quality. The cards are nice too though being what they are, I wouldn't use them for actual games. They are much better quality than the cards Rockstar had made for Red Dead Redemption. Overall, it's a toss-up if the extra money was worth the collector's edition goodies. Very few CE goodies are worth the extra cash. I mean, look at the DeadRising 2 CE. A cheap pen that looks like a syringe and a band-aid? The Fallout 3 survival edition seemed pretty cool but the Pipboy that came with it was worthless and broke easily. The CE for Fallout 3 was better with a bobble head and a lunchbox that looked like the ones in the game. I wanted something like a laser pistol that made the sound effect like the one in the game. Anyway, it's really up to you if you think the CE is worth the money. I'm a sucker for Collector's Editions of games...that's my fault!

Buy Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition Now

I don't often buy collectors editions since they rarely appeal to me. With the Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Editioni just had to have it... I have always loved the Fallout series(despite the bugs)

Contents: The chips are high quality with the look and feel of authentic casino chips, the cards are well illustrated, the comic is very well designed & written, and the DVD will be interesting if you enjoy the behind the scenes stuff. The details are fun... i found that the Platinum chip has Morse Code on it... I'll let you find what it says.

Price: The retail price is great i think @ $79.99 As we all know Collector editions of games are usually priced in the $100.00 range. Would i have liked more in the set? For sure! But don't we all want more?

Game: I have read the reviews on the regular edition for all platforms and i understand that some are upset that the game has a few bugs... i have encountered a few but nothing major that makes me hate the game. I got the game knowing it would have bugs and deal with it. I have auto save so i am covered in-case anything happens that i need to restart(have not had to reset my PS3 yet)

The few hours i have put into the game haven't been exciting... but it's the beginning of the game! The usual BS... learning the new features, designing your player, meeting the people in the town, etc...

The look of the game is different but still very comfortable because the look is the same as Fallout 3. The colors and vegetation really add a pop to the game.

Creatures: Now i haven't encountered all of the creatures in the game but i looked at the variety in the game guide and they really expanded the creatures. For example Deathclaws have multiple versions, all having a slightly different look strength( don't want to spoil the creatures) I know Fallout 3 had different versions of some creatures but not to this extent.

***Now i will add more to this review after i get farther in the game. I can't really comment on most areas since i haven't had experience with them in gameplay.

In a game this huge bugs are expected, they were in Fallout 3, they were in elder scrolls as well. The difference in Fallout New Vegas is the quantity and size of the bugs. In the arena the monsters won't fight and lock out all quest options, I had a group of Deathclaws pop in right in front of me, walk into the strip and oh wait the game froze. Guess I better load my auto save.....oh wait that's corrupted. Suffice to say that every time I turn around there's a problem (p.s. this is post patch)

I really want to love this game, I love the new companion system, the gameplay hasn't changed from fallout 3 and I couldn't be happier about it. The world seems as large and rich as other Bethesda offerings but I can't spend 60+ hours in a world this broken.

Sorry to say but I'll be waiting to read reviews before I purchase another Bethesda game.

Edit 1/30/11: I've finally came back to the game. I downloaded the new patch and the game is "playable." I can play more than a few hours without it crashing or a game breaking bug. Still not worth 60 dollars. I truly hope that the Elder Scrolls 5's new engine will get rid of the many bugs in this game.

Edit 7/7/11: Played the game on the Xbox 360 & although I experienced some bugs, I didn't run into any major bugs. Once that problem was solved I enjoyed the game so much I bought and finished all the DLC that's out.

Want Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition Discount?

Bought the collector's edition because i looked forward to the game and the little knick knacks that came with it.

Started to play the game, no problems ..in fact quite amazed by the scenery. Then i spoke too soon! Game started to stutter every so often and when going between loading screens..BAM crash! Alright i said..no problem...restarted the game. Played a bit more, got engaged in a battle ...BAM another crash! I figured eh what the hell... 2 crashes in 2 hours, can't complain..lemme play some more. Then it crashed again an hour or so later.

I mean seriously Obsidian needs to do their job and test this crapware before they make us their unofficial alpha-pre-beta testers for $60!

And for those that say "oh you must have an old ps3" "stop placing the ps3 in a confining place" my ps3 is the new 120gb version AND it has plenty of ample space.
