This game is a phenomenal RPG/shooter. I rented this game from gamefly before I bought it, and in one weekend I spent about 15 hours playing it. I coulnd't get myself to put down my controller. I had a blast exploring the map and fighting the random people and picking up stuff to sell. I also like how you can add perks and skills to make your character good at certain things (and there are so many choices). You are also able to make unique weapons, meet lots of people, and do lots of fun missions. You can do anything, the choice is yours. This is the greatest game of 2008 and it needs to be a part of your game collection.
What's great about it: detailed story and very fun to play
What's not so great: takes long time to get high perks and skills
