Well I finished this one up a while back. Played through all four potential outcomes of the game. Spent well over 100 hours playing it. I'd give this a 9/10. It's just plain awesome and hard to describe other than to say it is a Fallout game. For some reason I had trouble getting into Fallout 3 way back when, but I got into this one and piled all those hours in over a few weeks. You basically go from town to town (and the areas in between) and perform the main missions and sidequests. I had completed 90% of sidequests before I completed the first primary mission. I was already maxed out at level 30 when I really started into the primary missions, but it worked out well since I could save at the point where the four story lines begin to diverge and only have to go back to that point and run through the main missions.

As you travel you can pick up companions, loot abandoned areas, sell your treasures, work for or against different factions in the game. Again it's hard to describe, but there's so much to do and you definitely get your moneys worth out of this one if you put in the time to complete most of the quests. The only reason I didn't give it a full 10/10 is that there are a couple of annoying glitches a person can run into. Though there was a recent update so maybe they finally fixed some of them.

 
Also, if you are a 360 owner the first DLC (Dead Money) released for this on 12/21. I picked it up for the full 800 points ($10). It's again worth it as it adds a large new area to the game. Basically from the main game there is just a hidden bunker added somewhere, you go to it and climb in and find yourself on a trek to the Sierra Madre hotel which was supposed to open just before the big war (all these games are post apocolyptic by the way). The city you find yourself in poses new threats (clouds of toxic gas), new enemies, and new companions to work with. I've probably put 10 hours or so into the expansion so far and have made it through the city to the Casino. Not sure how much I have left, but will see if I get to the end tonight or not. If you own this game go pick up this expansion.

If you don't own this game, go get this game and the expansion (but don't play the expansion until you are at least a level 20). BTW, the expansion increases your level cap to 35. So far I made it to 32, not sure I'll reach 35 by the end of the expansion so I may have to go snipe some deathclaws or something to get up to 35 before I quit playing again (until the next DLC release).

Oh and if you own a PS3 go by an xbox... J/K (sort of) you can get this game for PS3 as well, but the DLC won't be available on PSN for a little bit yet
