Yep - which is why it has a bit more of that charm, notwithstanding that it's situated in a game environment (engine / gameplay platform) that isn't ideal for presenting what fallout's atmosphere is supposed to be.
As for what IGN thinks, I really do not care. Video game reviews have, at this stage, devolved into a total circle-jerk hype-show. It's one aspect of the industry that needs to change in order for better games to be produced. Right now, IGN and other similar outlets are what you'd get if the standard of movie reviews was such that every Michael Bay movie got 85% and up on Rotten Tomatoes.

Even the graphics start to wear thin after the umpteenth same enemy with different colouring. That was marginally okay back when you were making PSX games, but when the visuals are literally all the game has going for it, it's not. Either way, there are much nicer things to look at than a video game. If all you have is a backdrop and nothing worthwhile to put in front of it... well, no one needs to bury XIII any deeper anyway.
This morning I got a PSX emu on my Nexus and am now playing FF Tactics. Thank you, this thread.
