Fallout 3
For 200 years, Vault 101, a fallout shelter, has served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants. Yet one morning, you awake to find that your father has left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you’ve ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father. Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) that combines the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda.

5 Stars A “Blast” of Fun!
Fallout 3 was a lot of fun! I spent about 100 hours and never truly got bored. Bethesda did a great job of providing a sense of freedom in a world that was graphically stunning, logical, darkly charming, and for the first several game sessions downright scary. Even the soundtrack/music/radio options provided logical and humorous choices! Much better than Oblivion. This is the best “solo” FPS/RPG that I have ever played and my only complaint is that I am already done and I will miss the world of Fallout 3.
I have never bothered to write a review before, but Fallout 3 deserves the praise. Please don’t be fooled by the average of “three stars” - that average is brought down by technical glitches. When you read through those “one star” reviews you will see that even most of those disgruntled by the technical glitches loved this game.
5 Stars Fallout 3
There is nothing bad that I can say about Fallout 3, I have the PC and the 360 versions of the game and I love them. I have spent many hours just wandering around and doing whatever I please, that’s what makes is a great game. The free roaming and the battle system and complimented by the level ups that you gain through killing monsters and finishing quests.
1 Star F for Fallout 3
I enjoyed both Fallout and Fallout 2. I’ll pass on Fallout 3. I refuse to believe a game has to be laced with foul language to make it gritty or more realistic.
5 Stars Fallout 3
oh man..bethesda did a great job on this even though this is my first intro into the fallout series, and for all of you vet fallouts it clearly states this doesn’t really follow off of the last chapter. instead another story in the wastes of america and focusing on a certain character. im 8+ hours into the game and have just begun on the 2nd part of main story! last 7 was doing sidequests and getting higher lvl. exploring the wastes of D.C. is insane! was overwhelmed on the options of what to do….and intimidated cause anything above 3 raiders and i was owned xD. im runnin this on a c2d e8XXX proc with a 8600gt 512mb card so i cant really do much pertaining to graphical specs on this game although what ive experienced even for these spec areas is unbelievable! windows xp seems to have a problem loading the client for me to download the latest expansion, liberation anchorage…says i need a hotfix but just forwards me to a troubleshoot page..wtf is up with this? no problems considering bugs as of yet..though had one switching out of my pip-boy one time fighting some mutants..might of been cause i was testing out high settings on my gfx…whether if your an rpg person or just curious this is worth the buy. i seemed to have gotten this while it wes 39.99 ^^. lucky me as well with the super save shipping. refer to other reviews for more thorough input as this is my first take on the fallout happenings. i will say this is well worth the 40bucks unlike some others ive bought which turned out to be 10hr sitdowns…
5 Stars Simply Stunning
Fallout 3 takes you to the future, and lands you in the middle of the Capital Wasteland. This game is absolutely stunning for any RPG fanatic. Best of all, you can play it however you want. Don’t feel like shooting things? Sneak around them or even talk it out. Fallout 3 is THE game of the year for 2008.
The DRM in this game is nothing more than a disk check, but cracks are readily available. Also, it did freeze, but that wasn’t the game’s fault. My computer was overheating. After I fixed the heat problems, I haven’t had a single hiccup. I suggest to the one star reviewers that they actually play the game, or at least make sure they have a reason to complain.
