    5 Stars Grave New World 15/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Outstanding design; collosal scope; superb combat; dialogue choices; originality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bugs and glitches; occasionally dodgy A.I.

    It seems almost frivolous to try, but if you were to encapsulate Fallout 3 in just one word, it would likely be “immense”. Sporting a list of features, innovations and general noteworthy moments that number in the hundreds, detailing the game’s qualities is in itself a daunting task, as for every great instance touched upon, another dozen would have to go unobserved. One thing is clear however; never has a game offered so much freedom, given so much weight to your actions and decisions, and reflected so minutely the consequences of an individual’s way of playing. It’s not without its blemishes ... more

    5 Stars The Nuclear Wastleland Has Never Been So Fun Review with images 11/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Vast - Potentially over 50hrs of game, Immersive, Freedom - Be Good or Evil or something inbetween

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still some gliches, Not a pick-up-and-go game, The shooting is not in line with most FPS's

    200 years after an atomic war between the Capitalist USA and Communist China ravaged the world and left its surface barren and scared, it's time for you to step out of the confines of Vault 101 and brave the Washington D.C Wasteland. Fallout 3 is perhaps the most impressive game on any console to date, not for its graphics or accessability, but for its depth, immersive atmosphere, and the freedom it grants you as the player. The Setting As the opening scene fades into view you start your Fallout life as a newly delivered child, where you are handed to your father. Tap various buttons to start ... more

    3 Stars Fallout isn't the big bang expected 13/10/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good graphics, good array of weapons, simply intiutive controls

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots of glitches, seems to want to be 2 things at once and does neither that well

    Fallout has courted a lot of controversy even before the games release. The controversy was leveled at the fact that some were accusing various newspapers of deliberately stoking up fear by using graphics from this game to depict a horrendous terrorist attack. The plot for this game however has nothing to do with a terrorist attack but you do enter the heartlands or should I see the wastelands of what was formerly America prior to a nuclear war between China and America. However there have been a few survivors in the horrific aftermath due to the fact that the extremely wealthy were protected ... more

    5 Stars Fallout 3 - A whole new world 29/04/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Completely individual gaming experience, Gameplay, Storytelling, addictive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes a while getting used to

    Having never bought an RPG genre game for a console before and this game being my first one, I was very impressed. I have had fallout 3 for a couple of years now, and even with Fallout: New Vegas out as well, I still come back to play this game again. However in the first hour of playing this game, I was unsure whether this would be a good game, as I didn't have a clue what to do! But with some other reviews, and the advice from my friends, they had the same problem, it takes a while to settle, learn and understand this game and once you have the ability to do this, Fallout becomes extremely ... more

    5 Stars Fallout 3 - Supreme role-playing game 24/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Realistic, hours of gamplay, excellent map and groundbreaking features.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No multiplayer

    I have had Fallout 3 for just over a month now and I think that it is absolutly brilliant. Firstly the graphics are superb and they deliver true realism. The longevity of the game is a major advantage because it will keep you entertained for hours with its realism and graphics. Fallout 3 begins with your character's literal birth which helps to give the game some originality. In the shelter of Vault 101 and well beyond your eventual escape into the irradiated, postapocalyptic Wild West outside, an excellent mix of narrative addition and player choice is available. Help a townsperson kick his ... more
