Unlike the unpredictable, lawless wasteland of its forbear, the game is set in and around Las Vegas, a city which survived the nuclear onslaught that destroyed most of humanity and is steered by a governmental system that gives the neon-bathed streets a greater sense of realism and cohesion. Offering the same delicate balance of action and role-playing as Fallout 3, New Vegas’ biggest change is its setting.
But while New Vegas is an epic and genuinely engrossing adventure that hurls players into a world where there are countless chances to step off the beaten path and make your own fun, it’s mired by the same awkward bugs that plagued its predecessor, and doesn’t feel like a dramatic step forward for the series. For sci-fi swashbucklers who still get dewy-eyed over 2008’s majestic Fallout 3, this opportunity to step back into the series’ grim, post-apocalyptic landscape is an invitation too enticing to miss.
