    + Amazing Story and Freedom
    + V.A.T.S works as advertised
    + You will get your money`s worth

    - Low Level Cap. 20 is not enough for a game like this

    Fallout 3 is an epic game that contains a great story, world, and addictive game play. It make you feel like you are in a world that has been devastated with war and you are just an survivor living in the aftermath of a nuclear war. You start off in Vault 101, one of many vaults that promised protection of the nuclear battle that was going to take place on the surface. As soon a you start the game, you pick your race, sex, appearance as you begin life as a baby. You quickly grow up in the vault and must eventually leave, as your father as left the vault, something no one has ever done. Once you leave everything is up to you. Do you look for your father, traverse the vast wastleland looking for things to do, its all up to you.

    The game keeps track of your moral behavior, which includes Good, Neutral,and Bad Karma. Also, whenever you reach the next level, which is accomplished by completing quests and defeating enemies, you gain new perks to improve your character. Some can improve your resistance to radiation, strengthen your existing abilities, and one can even allow you to eat corpses. Yeah you can be a cannibal in fallout if you want. Choices are a key element to Fallout 3, and all seem important in one way or another.

    Combat is a great element in Fallout as well. You can use guns, melee objects and other tools to allow you defeat any one who gets in your way. V.A.T.S. is also something very important to combat. This targeting system assists you in combat in order to specify areas of an enemy to target, and also displays your chance of succeeding. This system is great for all players and can be upgraded as well. I wont talk about the story too much, but it is definitely something that makes this game special. Must Buy for Rpg fans, and anyone willing to give it a shot. 5/5

      After Oblivion, Bethesda’s 2006 hit, the expectations were extremely high for Fallout 3 and the game doesn’t disappoint. Although some fanatics of the original Fallouts may not fully appreciate the move from top-down fully turn-based to a hybrid of the latter and first person shooter , fans of previous Bethesda games will recognise the core movement, navigation and little secrets they have added. In fact there are a huge amount of similarities between this and Oblivion, although instead of wande...

      Fallout 3(Xbox 360) by dudacles on February 26, 2009

      Fallout 3 is a big, big game. And when a game has such a quantity of content, glitches, both tiny and big, are pretty much unavoidable.  Therefore, this new Fallout, that really doesn't have a whole lot in common with the previous ones aside from the theme, is riddled with glitches. However, if you are willing to look past those mistakes, you'll find a deep and expansive game, that has plenty of great moments and lots of things to see and find.It's a wastelandFallout 3 is set in the post-apocaly...
