Fallout 3

Fallout 3 started off a bit slow. I can imagine that some people would go impatient. However, when this game takes off (and you'll know when it takes off), it will be difficult to put the controller down. <br /><br />The first thing I noticed in this game (and it is the thing I love the most) is that travel is not restricted and there is a lot of land to travel. It's a huge, open world that can be explored at any point in time. Although some areas should not be visited until you've leveled up a few times, I still love the fact that you aren't prevented from being there in a the first place, like a lot of RPG's force you to do.<br /><br />The beauty of Fallout 3 is it's combination of FPS and RPG action. You can literally do just about anything and your choices gauge some of your abilities throughout the game. for example, if I were to continuously steal things and shoot innocent people (trust me, it can be fun), it's probably not going to be possible for me to team up with the medical squad.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that Fallout 3 gives you so many opportunities. There are hundreds of quests and many of them are derived from outside of the main quest. This is very easily one of the greatest games I have ever played.

THIS IS NOT A SHOOTER!! It is a Role-Playing Game which means it is a large world, with tasks/quests to accomplish and you don't shoot everyone on sight. So expect a rather slow and drawn out storyline along with gameplay. As with any RPG, it takes longer than a week for your character to reach their full potential!<br><br>This is a great game as long as you are not expecting a hardcore shooter! This game IMHO, does a great job of combining the aspects of both a shooter and an RPG! That is what makes it a fun and unique game to me.<br><br>I like the fact that they start you in an underground vault at first, and then you emerge into the real nuclear wastelands. The game does a great job of keeping you uninformed of everything that is going on and making you find out all of the information on your own. So, for a long time you will personally feel like you don't know what is going on!<br><br>It also does a great job at letting you choose your own unique game decisions, some of which have unreversable consequences.(I accidentally got the Sheriff of Megaton killed) I mean really, the game takes you wherever you want to go!<br><br>The graphics are great(HD). The detail and artwork is astonishing! The controls are similar to Oblivion, but if you've never played Oblivion then they may give you some trouble. There is not really a good tutorial on how to use everything that you will be using. Sound and sound effects are good and detailed. The A.I. in this game surprised me! Each character whether creature or human had their own level of intelligence.<br><br>My only complaint is that I had to frequently stop in the middle of my quests so I could go find more ammo to buy, which seemed to be scarce for more guns than others.....usually my favorite one. It didn't seem to matter though, because I frequently emptied ALL of my guns! Which left me with only my Brass Knuckles or Combat Knife :( So, every bullet counts! I may need to change the difficulty?<br><br>Anyway, I'm clickin' "Keep It" on this one!<br><br>

This game is amazing. If you haven't played this game yet it is a total must! The overall gameplay(to me) is just extrodinary, but only one problem. After you beat the campaign you can't go free roam anymore. Also, very good graphics for a game of its scale. Great game overall. High replay value. Must BUY or RENT. Can't wait for Fallout: New Vegas!!!!

I never played Fallout or Fallout 2, the only reason I bought 3 is because I live in Maryland and I know most ot the areas that were in the game (Germantown, Bethesda, Olney, DC etc.) and I wanted to see how they put those places in the game, I am usually a Madden/NBA gamer, with a few shooters here and there, But this was my first RPG since FF on PS2. I must admit that I was captivated by the story and the 'openess' of this game... I literally played for about 6 hours straight... and didnt know it. Im still playing the add-ons and they are just as good as the regular game. This game has ALL the makings for a big time Sci-Fi/Action/Adventure movie... with sequals, Im just waiting for one of these big time producers to grab it up and get a cast and script going... I really cant wait to see the Fallout Universe on the 'big screen' <br /> <br />The Game is a 10/10 IMO... Just realize the scenarios in this game arent too fictional (Nuclear Wasteland, Raiders, Small Colonies) ok, maybe not the weapons and super mutants... but the Fallout reality is not far fetched.

Only rarely do I come across games like these. I like it to where you level up and gain something else. This is a really good game to play. I enjoyed it a lot. There is a lot of hours of gameplay.

I narrowly bought this game. I had never even played a real RPG seriously until this game. I thought it looked pretty cool so I decided to buy over End War. I soon realized after that this was one of the best decisions I have ever made in purchasing a game. Instead of paying 60$ half a!# game I bought a game that I have measured was worth 200$ to me after all the time I have put into. After 3 characters and all the achievements accept that one stupid silver tongued devil achievement I can honestly say this game has been the best gaming experienced I have ever played. Now that is a pretty steep claim but it is soooooo true.<br /><br />Some of you PS3 folks don't seem to like it that much considering you don't want to put any effort(or good ratings) into it. But I can clearly say that if you put a good 5 hours into this game(and look at a guide or two) you'll most likely be thoroughly hooked! Now some of you say it doesn't have enough action or you don't care about talking to NPCs so this is my advice to you. WHAT ARE YOU DOING PLAYING A HARDCORE RPG!? That sums up all you people who neglected to look at what time of game it was before spending your time renting it. There is no SHOOTER/PONG in there. But I can also say that if your itching for a game that has more depth than your average shooters than try it out because I didn't expect to like an RPG when I purchased it a year ago.<br /><br />The games presentation is amazing with every detail filled in across a fast and unforgiving wasteland filled with lively and interesting characters. 10/10 Presentation/Graphics/Sound<br /><br />The games combat could have been terrible if they didn't include VATS targeting system. Walking the wastes for loot and quests is just plain addicting. The main quest could have used more work but is given greater weight by broken steel. The add-ons also add a lot of different scenarios. 9/10 Gameplay/RPG elements<br /><br />You'll play this game for over a 150 hours to do it all. 10/10 Lasting Appeal

no matter how much i love the ghostbuster game. this has to be the best game I've played so far. it has a good story line, optional objectives, and awesome monsters. there is not much else you could ask for in a game like this.

I think this game is the bomb (no pun intended). You can save whenever you want which is sweet for someone like me with limited time. The world and story line is massive. The weapons and interactions are good. Graphics are excellent. One of my favorites to play.
