“A good game...the first time through. While interesting, and a great use of the DS's features, it was great as a release (or near-release) title, but the storyline is fairly linear, with not much to do in the way of sidequests, and once you've...”

“Hmm that's a paradox strong enough blow Bender's brain. So true though, I mean imagine Fallout 3 starting, and instead of the whole tutorial and birthday party you just start. You are a teenager in the vault, and you can choose to keep doing tasks over and over and over within the vault or decide you want to leave. Imagine how many people would hate the game because they wasted 3 hours doing mindless vault chores.

On the other hand someone could get outraged that they left the vault and didn't get a pip-boy. Now they are wandering the wasteland with absolutely no purpose, or guidance.

I mean this might be a pretty cool concept. I might actually like playing a game like this. You just do whatever you want. It would add awesome replay value since depending on your decisions the first time around you could assault the game completely different.”
