I was pretty skeptical when picking up this game at the store because i am not the biggest fan of RPG games in general. however, this game cannont even be put under the words "in general" because there s nothing general about it... I know that a lot of people wanted online multiplayer and i myself also was a bit dissapointed but if they had mp then they would have to take out the coolest part of teh game which is V.A.T.S. one of the best games ive ever played...
What's great about it: campaign, free roaming, diffuculty

When I heard this game was made by the same guys as Oblivion, it already had one strike against it. I couldn't stand that game. But onthe constant urging of a friend, I tried this game and I'm glad I did. It takes a little to get into, and yes, it's controls take a little getting used to because there's so many options, but once that's out of the way, it becomes second nature and you become addicted. I would get the 360 version over the PS3 because of the extra downloadable content that's exclusve to the 360.

This game was frustrating at first, but once I became fluent with the controls and actions in the game it really hooked me. "The Wasteland" is huge and this game allows you to personalize and tailor your character however you please. You can be a good guy or become so evil you feed off human flesh. I recommend playing this game while using a walkthrough or guide. Getting ready to connect to LIVE to get the downloadable content.
What's great about it: Huge world with many quests, sidequests, a lot to explore and do...
What's not so great: Annoying bugs which occur from time to time....

This game has absorbed my life. When you first start out it's a bit slow and frustrating due to your lack of skill and weapons, but once you get past that it's a blast. There is some much to do with the side quests and now with the DLC on XBL. If you want a game that you will get your 60 bucks from this is it.

Its fun when you get into it but sometimes I dont feel like playing because of traveling by foot. Its very boring to go through the subways (you walk through them to get to places) and its easy to get lost. It is fun however when you are fighting. And the good evil thing makes the game a lot more interesting even though its really hard to be good. Another thing I dont like is you spend a ton of time designing your character and you cant ever see his or her face unless you are getting a haircut which is just editing his face. The only thing you can see is skin color and basic body shape.
What's great about it: Great graphics, interface and controls. Exciting when fighting
What's not so great: You have to travel long distances by foot to some quests

Fallout 3 is a giant leap forward in the action RPG genre, it is excellent. The graphics are excellent the landscape is very much alive, although anything that moves,moves awkwardly and not life-like but the overall visuals are stunning. The voice acting is very solid and the story is well structured with an OK ending. Oh,and V.A.T.S.(Vault-Tech Assisted Targeting System) is one of the most innovative and original pieces of gameplay mechanics I have ever seen. This is by no means a bad game, its not even close to being a bad game. But it's not for everyone. Because the game is so enormous it can seem like too much at sometimes. And also, every single mission in the game is very unique in it's own way but a few get really frustrating. I literally spent almost an entire hour underground in an abandoned,dark,and flooded vault 87 looking for a violin and getting killed by big crabs. Yeah, not that much fun. But other than frustrating missions this game is definitely worth the buy, it's not a must buy in my book but it's definitely worth it.
What's great about it: Beautiful graphics,Fun gameplay,Epic story,Huge world thats easy to get lost in.
What's not so great: May seem overwelming at some times

In my few hours spent on this game, i have realize that this is perhaps the greatest open rpg a human being can purchase. The story is superb, the graphics are beautiful although some textures look like playstation 1 graphics, overall this game is legit, beautiful, and fantastic, a must buy.
What's great about it: Story, graphics, weapons, choices, karma.
What's not so great: Framerate issues, dlc freeze ups, and character animations.
