I really enjoyed this game. I have played it several times to finish all of the challenges. It has a huge map with a lot of different choices. I feel like you should be able to take over anyones home if you want to though. The not being able to sleep in an owned bed is annoying.
What's great about it: Map size and karma ratings
What's not so great: Can be a bit repetitive
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you like RPGs, then this is must own. The world of the DC wasteland is awesome. It envelops you and the game is extremely hard to put down. I've played through twice as both an evil character and as a good character. I have to say being evil is a little more fun. The only downfall is that I couldn't level up past level 20 and then after that the whole RPG element is kind of lost. Overall, though, Fallout 3 is a great game.
What's great about it: Fun and enveloping
What's not so great: couldn't level up past 20

The game is decent but i've played better, personally i think gears of war 2 is much better. fallout 3 has good graphics and at times can be exiting but for the most part its very repetitive and gets boring fast. so im probably gonna stick with gears, madden and grand theft auto.
What's great about it: that u can be nice or not so nice
What's not so great: the missions are too long and you can often o around in circles. It becomes very repetitive and quite boring
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fallout 3 is an amazing video game
on December 28, 2008
Posted by: Anonymous

This game is borderline perfect. The storyline is very in-depth and realistic although it is a little too short. The Capitol Wasteland is large enough to take hours to explore just half of the map. There are enough side quests to last a player a decade. Any RPG gamer or shooter lover will enjoy this game to its fullest. Really the only downside to Fallout 3 is that if you haven't discovered an area, you must walk ALL the way there. Also, most of the game is spent in the subways in which all the rooms look the same and it feels like you've performed a miracle if you can find your way out. Other than that, I could not think of a better game.
What's great about it: Amazing Character Design, Very Good Voiceovers, Fun Side Missions
What's not so great: HAVING TO WALK EVERYWHERE! Short main story
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game is a phenomenal RPG/shooter. I rented this game from gamefly before I bought it, and in one weekend I spent about 15 hours playing it. I coulnd't get myself to put down my controller. I had a blast exploring the map and fighting the random people and picking up stuff to sell. I also like how you can add perks and skills to make your character good at certain things (and there are so many choices). You are also able to make unique weapons, meet lots of people, and do lots of fun missions. You can do anything, the choice is yours. This is the greatest game of 2008 and it needs to be a part of your game collection.
What's great about it: detailed story and very fun to play
What's not so great: takes long time to get high perks and skills
I would recommend this to a friend!

Intense post-apocolyptic RPG. After a nuclear war with Red China in the 1950s, the united states lay in ruins.
Large selection of weapons including melee, small guns(bullet firing guns), big guns(explosives and such like my personal favorite, the mini-nuke), and energy weapons(lazers/plasma).
Enemies get boring after beating the game. Enemies include sadistic raiders, super mutants, rogue robots, and mutated animals. Radiation adds some challenge, consume or take too many rads and you'll get radiation sickness.
Difficulty modes allow you to chose how hard the gameplay and enemies are.
Targeting system lets you pause combat, and target specific limbs or spots on your enemies body, including their weapons to disarm them.
Lack of vehicles makes getting around harder, but fast travel allows you to go straight to a destination you've been to already.
Large area to explore, over 100 hours of entertainment. Hard to get bored of.
Beautifull graphics on an HD tv or monitor, 720p or greater.
Some common glitches and bugs can get annoying, be sure to save often.
What's great about it: Similar to oblivion, fans of oblivion will basically know how to play already.
What's not so great: Glitches, bugs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game was made by the creators from Oblivion. Both games are very similar but there are some big changes too. And Oblivion was great but this game beats it by a long shot. Bioshock is another great game, that especially had a good story and very eerie graphics.
Story:
I do not want to ruin too much so i will keep it brief. In the beginning of the game you get to decide your stats and what you look like. You live through your childhood with your father since your, well... i won't ruin that. Anyway, your father eventually leaves YOU AND THE VAULT BEHIND!! So you decide to leave the vault and look for your dad or you don't, its your choice. I don't want to ruin anymore of it so get the game if you want to learn more.
Gameplay:
Well, you can either be in a first person or third person view when playing. Personally the first person is easier when fighting. Controls are not to confusing and will not take long to get used to. There is a special mode which makes this game more interesting then the average first person shooter. The mode is called VATS. This allows you to freeze time and pick specific parts on the body to shoot at. You can do this by the amount of Action Points you have available. It is very cool and i love using it.
What makes this game fun:
The games graphics make it seem very much real. Especially when you have HDTV it looks just breathtaking. There are many different types of guns which keeps the game fresh. Also the map size of this game is huge. It is unbelievable how much detail was put into this game. What also keeps you from getting bored of this game is all of these secret locations and weapons. You will become addicted and will want to find the best of the best weapons and armor in the game. A another thing that keeps this game int resting is Bad and Good Karma which determines what kind of person you are. Will people praise you or will everyone be against you. This game will keep you occupied for hours, im guessing over 100 hours.
What's great about it: The guns, gameplay, story, graphics, length, and many more things
What's not so great: I can seriously think of nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fallout 3 is the story of the character that you choose to create and there quest to leave a vault that they have lived in there entire life so far, to find your father who has also just left the vault. Along the way you will find more and more out about your family. You are inside the vault in the first place because nuclear war has taken place and you were lead to believe that there was nothing left outside. However, when you come out of the vault there is a lot going on.
Throughout the game you have endless side quest that can take hundreds of hours to complete as well as you have the choice of how you want to complete them. You can be a very good person, evil, or somewhere in between. In the end your choices will change the storyline of the game as you go. Unlike Oblivion a game also made by Bestheda, the makers of Fallout 3 this game can actually end. You will know when it's going to end so if you wanted to complete any side quest you should do this before ending the game, because you will have to start again or revert to an old save point.
Many people ask if this is just Oblivion with guns. The one thing that I will say is a difference is that unlike Oblivion when you level up in Fallout your enemies do not. So you will become stronger then most of your enemies by the end of the game. Where in Oblivion they leveled up with you. I would also say the tone of this game is very different as it's much more dark. Graphically it also differs as the world is very dull with a lot of browns and blacks.
Overall this game is a 5 out of 5 and is a must for whatever system you bought it on. The only negative to this game is that it is very addictive and you might not stop playing once you've started.
What's great about it: Gameplay, Story
What's not so great: Very Addictive
I would recommend this to a friend!
