The gaming chameleon !
I bought this game without any suggestion from reviews or friends, I had $30 of in store credit and this just caught my eye for some reason. So I took it home and popped it in for about 20 minutes, and it sat for almost a year before I touched it again.
You see a game really needs to grab me right away, and the opening to this game just wasn't paced right for me. I let it gather dust for a year and now I'm really sad I did, because when I finally gave it the time of day I was pleasantly surprised!
While it does crawl to a start, once you get going the adventure just sucks you in! The worlds are apocalyptic wastelands and ruins you explore trying to upgrade all your gear and figure out what's going on.
The boss fights are nothing short of epic, and the voice acting is superb for the characters. I don't think I've ever been so excited to see the next boss, or meet the next character in the story as this game.
There are lots of puzzles to solve and areas to explore, and the more gear you get the more you are going to want to revisit past areas with new abilities. By the end of the game you are totally equipped to handle anything and you'll want to explore every inch of this incredible world.
I would have given this game a higher score, but the pacing in the beginning really did put me off for a long time, and there are a lot of frustrating puzzles that you wont have any clue what to do on. And the story is a little watered down.
This game really is incredible, it mixes so many names in and really makes it stand out as it's own game. This game is really cheap these days, and the sequel is due out soon so there is no reason you should pass on this game at all.
It's an incredible adventure, who's bosses are down right awesome! You're sure to have a good time with this one, if you like any of the games I've compared it to. Just be sure to tolerate the first 30 minutes and you won't be disappointed !
