Most has been said about the game, its been over a year since it was released, flopped and reborn under a cheaper price tag.
Graphics are wonderfully detailed which as you can guess makes your graphics card(s) work. The game is designed for Nvidia gpus which is obvious in the video settings where there is a transcode option which passes the massive texture decoding from cpu to gpu - this apparently is faster - not sure about this. I installed it on my primary machine, AMD FX-6300, 3.5ghz, 6 cores, load of ram and 2 x ATI Radeon 5870s XXX editions in crossfire. There is a benchmarking tool in the options that suggest you run it before playing to determine how fast your machine can decode the textures so I did on my primary machine, the score was 55 - lees than good. My second machine, very similar setup except I use a Nvidia 560ti (single card) whichhas lower spec. than just one of my ATI cards, so I ran the test. Score 127 excellent. Right I thought the Nvidia will play the game better...it doesn't. In fact there is no difference between my two machines with this game. It still looks great but you can see the screen tear just slightly when you turn your character. It's like the screen is split 50/50 along the horizontal and one half moves very, very slightly faster than the other. It is very minor and in no way game breaking but it can be seen. But as I said the graphics are brilliantly done.
Sound is great too, good voice acting, great music, it feels like you're in a film.
Gameplay - Its already been said they are way too many items in your inventory, most you'll use once. It is a little rushed in general, there are plants to be found in the wasteland that are really beneficial but there's little chance you'll ever see them as you speed past in order to avoid bandits.
Bethesda seem short on ideas. At times I felt I was back in Skyrim picking mushrooms from inside caves and harvesting the few plants there are. The Jackal area of the game is a replica of Fallout New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts. The area is inhabited by a tribe which speak in native American tongue, brandish hatchets and use fire ammo. It is more of a tall area than a large area like the canyon in Honest Hearts.
All in all it is a very good game and well worth it at this bargain price. It's a shame they didn't get it right at release they could have cleaned up. It's a one-off play even though there are harder modes once you've been everywhere 2 or 3 times on your first playthrough you know what's coming.
