Really though, I think they're pushing the action side of it more than Fallout 3 did, like how Diablo is an RPG, but is more about action and hacking and slashing and collecting random phat lewts, this is an FPS/RPG that is more about shooting and action and collecting random phat lewts.

It looks pretty nifty, and the co-op looks like it could be fun.

$33.75 is a pretty good price for a new release.

the game is a cross between Diablo and fallout 3
the fallout 3 references being post apocalyptic and open world
the Diablo reference being the loot and RPG system (also note that each time you restart the game you end up in the starting area with all loot and mobs respawned.. much like Diablo)
I could break it down further but once you play it you will see where I’m getting at
I’m not sure if there is a dice roll every time you shoot a guy... i find that the more accurate I am the more damage iI do (rifles with sniper scopes FTW) so if there is a dice roll it sure doesn’t feel like it..
500+ guns sure does feel about right... loot loot loot... the game is all about the loot
Driving is fun though at times annoying, can’t say I enjoy the controls for it, but it serves its purpose as far as getting you from a) to b)
the ability to drive into a small town and blast the s*** out of the bad guys using the guns on your car is a sure thrill.
The humour in the game is excellent and it is more to what I imagined the humour in fallout 3 to be (though I was disappointed with fallout 3's humour)
The quests don’t seem overly repetitive and exploring is an absolute joy, I often find myself side tracked looking for loot with out even realising it...
Things I would have liked to see is the ability to slightly upgrade weapons and armour using a gem stone kind of system
more voice acting
a clearer storyline from the get go
Overall I rate the game an 8/10... I’m a bit of an open world fan and an RPG fan... I’m also a huge post apocalyptic fan so really the setting and genre of the game are just up my ally,
pros –
millions of weapons to keep you constantly exploring for loot
balanced game play and combat system
fantastic graphics that suite the tone of the game
cons -
lack of voice acting
unclear story early on in the game
sometime you run out of quests before you level resulting in you to go farm a little bit* though this con is reduced by the fact that you can jump in your car and drive around and run s*** over*a complete hoot of a thing to do* until you level up.

No PC release, no care (yet).

Single player is all fine on console, though i couldnt imagine playing co-op on the console, so this may warrant a pc and console purchase for me.

Word is that there is no push-to-talk voice chat in the pc version. Open mic only.
