Let me preface this by saying I really loved playing Fallout New Vegas and this review will compare it to Fallout 3 a lot and make some complaints. But that's because Fallout 3 was such an amazing experience that fallout the series is now held up to ridiculously high standards.
Fantastic game. However it always felt (and still does years later) like a really big DLC download that they should never have charged $ 60 for initially. The game was basically fallout 3 with a few tweaks that could have easily been implemented via patches to Fallout 3.
Aiming down the sights was great and much needed, making the gun fighting better and more FPS like. Being able to mod your guns was also a welcomed change.
The story line never felt as epic as Fallout 3's. It's ok but no where on the level of FO3.
I felt that the game could have given you more missions as a legionnaire. And speaking of factions, the game instead of focusing on karma like in FO3 focuses more on which factions you're friends with. So you could be a huge thieving, cannibalizing dirt bag with low karma but the NCR troops will be friendly towards you and say hi because you've attacked Ceaser's Legion. A silly oversight.
As for the DLC for this game, the Dead Money DLC is god awful. There's a mist that permeates large portions of the level and it automatically kills you. There's lots of other things that kill you and some holograms that are invincible. So no matter your level or skill, you'll be dying a lot the first time you go through it. I did and it was very frustrating. The worst is at the end....it's such a tease.
The other DLCS:
Honest Hearts- Not bad, no real interesting items, armor, outfits added
Old World Blues- Rather fun DLC, new interesting weapons, new perks, funny dialogue. This was probably by favorite DLC of the bunch. There's also a lot of upgrades and perks you can earn through this.
Lonesome Road- My second favorite of the DLC. Lots of new weapons and armor in this one. The story was a bit weak and a let down to me based on the build up and mystery of who the other courier was and his whole story etc.
I can't wait for Fallout 4.

It’s a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way.
