Lastly, I am all out of words.
Despite an INCREDIBLY rough start, and easily the highest number of bugs I've ever seen on a AAA-level console release, along with a thousand little other things that generally irked me, it still managed to utterly win me over.
The Bad:
-Piles and piles of bugs
-Movement in the game is awkward
-WILDLY inconsistent framerate
-Did I mention bugs? Jeez...
The Good:
-The ways you can exploit the world, both big and small, are astounding (a 7 person with the wife while the kid watches on? Become the world's worst landlord? Kick chickens off cliffs? Sign me up!)
-Genuinely funny writing with excellent acting all around
-Beautiful art and graphics
The Ugly
-The first 2 hours, getting used to the world.
Definitely on my shortlist for best games of 2008, and a 9 out of 10 from me personally. Everyone with a 360 should own this game, hands down.
Next up, Fallout 3!
