It's a great game and the best Fallout game so far, in my opinion. It has excellent RPG mechanics, a larger variety of items from what I've seen, and caravan is an addicting little card game. The game is a little less urban than Fallout 3 and isn't quite as good for exploration, in my opinion, but it is still a great game and a very nice effort for Obsidian's first sandbox RPG. Most of the mechanics from Fallout 3 have been polished and improved, in my opinion, the game has a cool, less depressing, although still quite varied, atmosphere, the writing, dialogue choices, and story are very well done with some nice choices based on character skill and/or player opinion, and, coming from a fellow PS3 player, the game runs nearly flawlessly, excluding the to be expected, occasional framerate hiccup. I had one forceful return to the PS menu earlier, but that's about it. Other than that, the game doesn't crash or freeze for me and I think Obsidian did an excellent job. Play the game, don't worry, and enjoy. It's a good game, and people will always whine. The following may not completely apply to you, but did you enjoy Morrowind? People whined at release. Did you enjoy Oblivion? People whined at release. Did you enjoy Fallout 3? People whined at release. It happens with many games, yet if you didn't deeply enjoy at least one of those RPGs I mentioned, you probably wouldn't be here. Ignore all the screaming and shouting and enjoy this magnificent game, which I hope will be followed by many more, both Bethesda-made and Obsidian-made.
