Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent:
40 to 100 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Masterpiece"
First of all, This game is gonna cost you so much fun and time. Don't believe other reviewers when they said "This game is boring, Repetitive!". No it isn't. This game is an ACTION rpg shooter which of course you'll gonna do some quest, shoot enemies... That's it. What do you expect on an action rpg shooter game?! Picking flower quests?! Pressing buttons to follow up the music? well, this game isn't for you.

Gameplay-
Gameplay is simple yet awesome, if you're already familiar with shooting games and rpg games, this isn't going to be hard for you especially when you already play Fallout 3 or even Modern Warfare. The main and side quests are freaking long, so if you're looking for a long game, this is the game your looking for.

Graphics/Environment-
The graphics is okay, It doesn't really matter cause the game is good. Also the environment looks like a ps2/xbox game. It really looks like a drawing or its just me.

Problems-
Freezes sometimes (Or its just my copy), and also sometimes the environment/your guns goes crazy and transform into a ps1-looking graphics. And the most pain-in-the-ass problem is the waypoint. Its not accurate. For example, The scavenger quest. Seriously, I do really have to go to youtube to look for the parts.

Story-
Story is plain and simple, You'll just go and collect the keys to open the vault. Yeah you're there to open the vault that's it. The ending is kinda disappointing in my opinion... or in everybody's opinion. Why? See for yourself or read below (Spoiler- so don't scroll down when you haven't finished the game yet).

+ Cool Weapons and items
+ Easy & Familiar gameplay
+ Enemy respawns (So you can still hunt them)
+ Random loots (Which make this game special IMO)
---------
- Some tech problems
- Disappointing ending

Overall: 8.5/10 A very cool and enjoyable game.

SPOILER ALERT- don't scroll down if you haven't finished the game yet.

A'right the the disappointing part is the ending and the story. Why? Cause as I've said earlier, the story is plain and fun. Which doesn't really bother me at first until I saw the damn ending. The ending is, The damn woman (forgot her name, The one who always call you and warn you everytime you killed a boss) got the key to the vault. And yeah, You failed to get it from her. So she inserted the key, and ohhh what the hell! A freaking one-eyed monster has just appeared! and its purple! Yeah, the monster stab the b**** in the back and of course she died. And thats the final boss, you have to kill it. Once you've killed it, You'll just informed that you can't open the vault cause I don't know. It can only be opened in the next 200 years. So its completely WORTHLESS. I mean, all your journey? On all of what you've been through? That's it? You gathered pieces of the vaults key just to fight a damn one-eyed purple monster? O c'mon. I was gonna give this game a 9.0, but that's okay.

  1. 8.0!!! Because who doesn't enjoy running grotesque creatures down with a car after gunning down countless psychopaths?!

  2. Fast paced (at times), great graphics, slightly annoying ending.

    Review Stats:
  3. Repetitive. No other way to put it really. Nice style and plenty of potential... but repetitive. Best played with others

    Yes, Skagzilla can be defeated without dying. Lilith used an incendiary SMG, and finished with a shotgun. Proof of one play is placing the bait.
