Could be an awesome, maybe one of the best games ever, if it was not for: - terrible controls, keyboard mapping that cannot be changed in the game options, and placed in very uncomfortable way; - treacherous camera that lives its own live and changes the angles whenever it like, making you fall to your death all the time. - .... and the most of all, freaking levels with the freaking running rockets, each running with different speed so you cannot pick the correct timing, blowing up even if you landed successfully after your jump... On another rockets level, after like millions of attempts to beat it just dropped the game.
Bit the game yesterday, to give you the feeling how I much liked it, I have not slept night to complete it. Have to start all over again to build character right. May be a bit scaring for nowadays players who got used to games leading them around by the hand. That totally not the case with Fallout. Read conversations with NPC carefully, try to memorize possibly important info, since you'll not even have brief extracts in your log book with useful hints and directions. You won't have compass pointers or points on you map for character to talk to or stuff to get. Only todos like first main one "find the water chip". But after you get yourself used to that it starts to make perfect sense. The lack of all this modern stuff makes you hold all that in your head and plunge much deeper into the game. The setting, atmosphere, specific humor, different approaches to the same situation with different outcomes. I've bought Fallout 2 immediately after completing first one, and sure that I'm going to come back to this masterpiece not once nor twice.
