Fallout New Vegas is just the game that you love to hate.
On one hand, you can't stop playing it because it's so addictive! On the other hand, you feel like throwing the controller because the game freezes so often.
Regardless, I can safely say I will continue to play this for many more hours despite these hitches.
Fallout 3 was one of the greatest games of all time, filled with plenty of quest and exploration. Fallout New Vegas is everything we loved about Fallout 3, with more quests and characters, but also more bugs.
The opening movie kicks the game off with a bang, quite literally and sweeps you away on a tale of revenge, akin to an old Clint Eastwood film.At the moment I think I am around 4/5 the way through the main quest and I can tell you now I'm hungry for more.
The side quests, unlike Fallout 3, are often long and satisfying, containing a decent sub-story to keep players interested. I have been playing for around 12 hours and have barely scratched the surface of games huge number of side quests.
The Mojave wasteland is vast and merciless,containing many monsters, thugs and friendly people. Also there are many settlements scattered around the wasteland to keep things interesting.
Sadly, Fallout: New Vegas comes with its fair share of bugs. Load times can be very unpredictable, with anywhere between 20 seconds and 3 minutes of load time. Also, after playing for a few hours my SFX stopped working. A restart fixed this and I have not encountered it again, however this sort of glitch should not be in a game. Also, while cruising around the New Vegas strip I noticed a prostitute floating above the ground, much like the Doc Mitchell glitch on YouTube. A patch has been released fixing these animation glitches, but its still a hassle, especially if you choose not to download the patch.
All in all, Fallout: New Vegas is a fantastic game which expands on its predecessor in every way, while retaining the gameplay mechanics that made Fallout 3 a success. Despite the many glitches, Fallout: New Vegas is defiantly worth your money and is guaranteed to keep you entertained for 200 hours at least.
10/10
Great game heaps of quests and big variety of companions if you can put up with all the bugs and freezes and collectors edition is great value for money.

Reviews
“…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…Be that as it may, Fallout 3 was a great game, so as similar as it is, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fun ride that offers more for fans of the series to enjoy. If you can look past its shortcomings, this is definitely a wasteland worth exploring.” 8.5/10 IGN
“..Fallout: New Vegas is an expansive and complicated RPG that encourages you to see and do as much as you can. This is an explorer's game, always lavishing new and interesting quests on you and giving you a lot of flexibility in how you approach many of them. It builds upon Fallout 3's mechanics in interesting and esoteric ways, making it a comfortable evolution to one of 2008's best games. It's unfortunate that it suffers from so many bugs and other inconsistencies…And yet as busted as it is, Fallout: New Vegas is periodically awesome and consistently compelling. If you've got the stomach for some technological lunacy, this is one gamble that will pay off.” 7.5/10 Gamespot
