The multiplayer is as good and addictive as call of duty 4's. The storyline and gameplay are both great and this game is easily the best WWII shooter. I think that the zombies feature is the best part of the game, it never gets old and is really fun to play online with friends.
What's great about it: Multiplayer, graphics, gameplay

When I first bought Fallout 3 it was incredibly addiciting. The game has amazing visuals, is very exciting gameplay, has a great story and I found 80% of the games missions to be challenging. However the game ends when you complete the main quest, also you can't level up past level 20 which I found makes it difficult to face some enemies. Still the game is the best RPG of 2008 and the DLC is also incredible. I would recomend this game to anyone fans of the series, anyone who enjoys RPG's or shooters, and anyone who is looking for a new vidoegame experience.
What's great about it: Great story ,amazing graphics, exciting gameplay
What's not so great: Game ends after you complete the main quest
