I rated a 7 purely on fun and modularity from the GECK. I have played all of the real Fallout games and most of the knock offs. "Tactcics Bos console, fallout 3 aka oblivion postapoc" there are many bad old school references that are more annoying than genuine. the entire time-line, background, tech, and general world flora/fauna are all wrong. not to mention the linearity of this game unlike the older ones. the main story line is actually much less linear and is pretty much pointless. "like say gta" and for the real Fallout fans the weapons are very bad.. and look nothing like the should. the only saving point is that one can fix some problems with the GECK. not sure how this got a 9-10 but it barely rates a 7 and I am pretty generous with that. PS I don't think you can get Mehrune's Razor, or Dwarven gear too bad...
