Fallout 3 (PS3)

...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 wailing and crying - just one of the little ...
...Bethesda ( The developers of Fallout 3 ), because the similarities are obvious. For those of you who have played Oblivion, either on the PS3, Xbox, or PC, Fallout is the equilivant of Oblivion, but with guns. You are given the freedom to explore the whole map, which although smaller than Oblivion's, is far more fleshed-out. One can either follow the main quest at your own pace, or set-off to explore the Capitol Wasteland. The potential for playing ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

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 ...
...in the horrific aftermath due to the fact that the extremely wealthy were protected by underground vaults. However several generations on from what is now left standing on the earth, your character discovers that his father has gone missing and sets out to find him. Society as we have known it has broken down and so with it has formed a number of groups. There is a working community, a group of bandits, the unfortunates who could not hide from the ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

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 ...
...specializations, and multiple class templates, Fallout 3's mechanics are far better in many ways. Firstly you choose attribute points at the beginning of the game, and when you gain a level, you earn a certain amount of points to spend on skills (Speech, Lockpick, Energy Weapons, etc.) and one perk of your choice. Whatever path you take, peace and love have no place in the Fallout universe; a whole lot of mutants are going to die eventually. The ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

Fallout 3 receuved numerous Game Of The Year rewards following it's release in late 2008. Chances are, if you have an interest in gaming, you've heard about it one way or another. But is it the right game for you? Many people are put off by their dislike of Bethesda's previous Oblivion games, or the radical change from the original Fallout PC series, or the apparently bug ridden PS3 version. Are they right to worry? For me, not at all. I also played ...
...lots of people, unappealing. Fallout 3 is in the future, with more excitement in the gameplay, more interesting, modern combat, more unique concepts and above all, more freedom and variety. The game is set in a post apocalyptic wasteland. You are basically given the coice of whether to play a saviour of the people, or take advantage of what lies before you. The way you play will have consequences; for example, bad guys are given a frosty reception ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

...turn my critical eye on Fallout 3. First, some back story. Its the future and humanity has been decimated by worldwide thermonuclear war. The few survivors on the surface have banded together in scattered settlements where they must contend with raiders, mutants, wild animals and other dangers in the irradiated wasteland that was once good old planet Earth. Not exactly a cheerful start. Enter You - the protagonist. You've been living in an underground ...
...thing that strikes you about Fallout 3 the moment you emerge into the harsh sunlight for the first time is just how big the game world is, and how much choice you're given. Choice is a word that games like Bioshock like to bandy about, but really all they boil down to is a series of Kill-or-Save scenarios that do nothing except slightly alter the end cut scene. Fallout 3 is the first one I've played that genuinely makes me believe I'm part of a world ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

...step out from the underground fallout shelter, you will be amazed at the amount of detail put into creating an anihilated Washington Dc. Unlike Oblivion, there are no scenic panaramas, or long green fields to cross. Instead it is just rubble and destruction as far as the eye can see. But don't let this fool you into thinking that the view gets stale. It doesn't, and BETHESDA have done a great job in making the collapsed shell of the state capital ...
...throughout the game. Weapons in Fallout 3 generally consist of; melee weapons (ranging from rolling pins to chainsaws), explosives, small arms, big arms and energy weapons, which all can be used with just a simple push of the R1 button. But, an additional aspect is brought into play when you push the R2 button, opening up the VTAS system. The game screen instantly freezes, and your target is identified, with it's limbs and head highlighted. By selecting ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

I loved this game, the story line is amazing and there is so many side quest and unmarks ones to do. the graphic on this game is amazing, and you have a vast map to explore as well as many building and caves and metro tunnels in the wasteland. there is some interesting secret weapons and clothes as well as places to find. this game is great to play but it has only one bad point, the creatures of the DLC (downloadable content) say that the expansions ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

As you can probably tell from the title I love this game, I have played it over and over again, and can't wait for the new add-ons that are scheduled for late September. In this game there's so much to do, so much to choose from and so much to collect. The game is based around Karma, which is basically, Good or Evil, and through your actions you can influence which path you choose. But which ever you pick, you will be in for a world of surprises ...
...make. At the start you create a character, who you will see throughout his life, from when he is born, through childhood and when the action really starts at the age of 19. Now I don't want to give too much away through this review, so I'll try to keep it to the minimum. But basically, you live in a vault, a safe haven from the nuclear holocaust which has happen on the outside, the capital wasteland. Your father ,a scientist, leaves the vault to ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

A game that for me, seems to feature four main genres rolled into one, 1) an obvious RPG, 2) A rather solid FPS, 3) An Adventure Game and 4) A strategy game. Despite random crashes sometimes spoiling my gameplay experience i think the whole experience can forgive that. It's a game that I could really get into it was more of a post-nucleatic wa simulator than a game. The V.A.T.S system is another very original feature than hugely improves gameplay. ...
...if brilliant! What's better is how it actually contributes to the game. The Good/Bad Karma system is affected by the options you elect to use to speak with someone. Equally should you choose an agressive speech option then you can risk a battle with others! The only problem is how the game cruelly limits you to 20 Levels. With a game like this I find I could continue exploring until i'm fifty yet unfortunately upon reaching LV20 I am not rewarded ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

Fallout 3 is a brillant rpg which lasts weeks the campaign will last hours put just remember save before you do the last mission as you can't play on if you finish it i'm sorry to tell you. The map is huge and amazing and so different where ever you go form talking trees to alien weapons. The only problem about it is with a map this huge theres always gona be a few holes in it you can fall out of the map i have done it but i was trying if you don't ...
...a large aray of enemies ad a lot of weapons which lot class. There are tons of side missions and loads to do. There are tons of places to explore. Just be ready when you sit down you will not get up with this none stop action. The start is brillant when you start out as a child and really funny and really its a game not to miss. The is full of things you miss so always look twice. I heard the first two were better but if your looking for a game ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

To begin with i wasn`t sure whether buying this was a good idea or not, i had heard it was good but wasn`t yet convinced, in the end i did buy it and i must admit i am glad i did. The game is a joy to play, dark and disturbing but with a little comic releif in between. For any one that was a fan of older scrolls oblivion will instantly enjoy this game, similar gameplay as it is made by the same people. The story line, is rather unique but i wont ...
...many different lights, your actions and responses can have very different outcomes, causing you to be good or evil. The huge landscape and large variety of enemies for you to face mean the game never seems to end, there seems to be an endless amount of side quests or people to talk to or trade. It can be frustratring at the start as it takes a long time to go any distance on the map, but once a few locations have been discoevred it is fine. The soundtrack ...

=== Fallout 3 === Fallout 3, one of the most anticipated games of the year, and boy does it pack a punch. fallout 3 is based in an apocalyptic world in the future, it all starts with you being born in a vault in which a small civilization is taking shelter from the horrors of the former united states, you start as a baby, then 910 years old then 16, each giving yourself options on how you are going to play the game, as a baby you choose weather to ...

Review of Fallout 3 (PS3)

I think this game is one of the most amazing games, story wise and graphical wise. As this is a role playing game you are whoever you want to be, you begin as a child in what's known as Vault 101, the world has been turned into wasteland due to a war. And then your father goes and pops out of the vault causing mayhem for all that dwell in the vault, you now have to make a choice run after him or don't but you will end up after him anyway. Set in ...
...=== The story is role playing so expect a different outcome depending on what you reaction is to talking to certain people and quests. === Graphics === The wastelands are visually beautiful, and really makes you feel that the world has come to a bloody end, the realistic values are amazing. === Game play === The V.A.T.S mode which is like a targeting system is incredibly fun and almost everything can be used as a weapon (and everything can be used ...

Get ready to lose hours and days of your life with this highly addictive game. Having not played the first 2 in this series I was unsure what to expect, but from my experience, this game stands up well on its own. The basic story revolves around you (the main character) having to escape from your home in a safe vault following a nuclear fallout. Once on the outside you are on your own to carry out numerous quests or just explore the world. On ...
...and human enemies who you must get past. Each kill, or new place discovered will earn you points towards the next level where you can improve the characters skills and attributes. There is a great device called V.A.T.S to help you focus your attacks on various parts of your enemies and more weapons than you can carry available, from a knife to rocket launcher, and even nuclear bombs You will also meet people who you trade with for more medical ...
