Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

...be precise, the world of fallout 3 is a sort of what if world where the what if today is: What if nuclear war had broken out in the 50s and 60s, so it did, but lucky for some they were allowed access in to vaults that would protect them from the harsh reality of the outside world until it was safe to venture out, but no in Vault 101, this vault was designed to never be opened. The first stage you play through is as a toddler, you learn your mom ...
...has very dramatic effects. In fallout you are instantly given the option to help a guy blow up the one and only town you are aware of in exchange for caps, I have yet to chose this option as it seems like complete madness, in the town are loads of useful clinics and a shops and a couple of bars and you can even get a house there, but I guess if I ever play as evil I'll blow it to kingdom come. Fast travel is also a rather nifty implemented system ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Fallout 3 begins with the character you play being born, you then get to select how you want to look in the future, whether your male or female and other minor features about the character your playing. Trying not to give the story away, you see small highlights out of your life as you grow up each giving you a small aspect of the future game such as your abilities etc. However the free roam story doesn't begin until you get out of the vault. This ...
...story quests to do and also a lot of side quests. Having not played any of the previous fallouts or oblivion i cannot compare this to them. I am also not a big RPG fan and therefore I wasn't sure what to expect or whether I'd even like it. As a concept i found it really confusing at first. I didn't know where to go or what I was doing or even the point in everything you do. However once you get into it and begin to understand it you realise the ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

...that was until I played Fallout 3. So a bit of background on the story. In the year 2077, after a long running war between the USA and China, the world is devastated by nuclear bombs. Whole cities were destroyed. Millions of people were killed and civilisation came to a stand-still. Cut to the year 2277. Your player (which you can fully customise) is living in Vault 101. One of the many vaults built underground to keep its inhabitants safe from the ...
...seen in some places that Fallout 3's story has been criticised but I don't agree with that at all. I think just the main part of the story is fascinating and shows a great deal of imagination. Factor in the histories of the settlements and each individuals' personal story and it is magnificently in-depth. ~Gameplay~ The use of the Pip-Boy 3000 as a menu screen I think works really well and is really simple to use. Combat is great and the new VATS ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

I had played fallout 2 in my early teens and had loved it. I loved the choices that you were given and the way that your actions affected your world. When I heard that Fallout 3 was being released I was ecstatic as it meant that one of my favourite games was going to get an update. I got it on Christmas day and for most of the rest of the day, I was lost to the world. It was one of the most amazing games I have played in a very long time. With an ...
...what you have achieved. Since fallout 3 is primarily played as a first person shooter, it is very accessable for people not used to a role playing game. The role playing element of the game is introduced early in the game and is a gradual process, allowing for people not familiar with stat points and perks a gentle start. The first stage of the game is in fact more or less a tutorial, slowly introducing you to the interface and levelling system before ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Yeah, that's right. Fallout is back. Gone are the pixels and turn-based combat of the first games. Now you get to explore the wasteland in first person, and blow off uglies heads in exciting bullet time! In the not-so-distant future, America and China finally dropped the bomb that would change life forever. Cities were purged with nuclear fire, society retarded back to nomadic and tribal roots, and the animal life that wasn't wiped clean by the ...
...fact, in the case of Fallout this main quest-line is shockingly short and not terribly interesting). Of course, this blissful existence isn't to be and you'll soon find yourself leaving the vault, into a huge 3D rendering of Washington DC. Only it's a bit of a mess. And crawling with nasties. Like Oblivion, which Fallout 3 borrows extensively from (and vastly improves upon in some cases), you're now free to explore a massive, dangerous world filled ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

The scene in which Fallout 3 is laid, is simply impressive. The biggest part of the world consists of wastelands occupied by mutated animals and raiders. Smaller villages are occupied by humans. Considering the vast game world, one would expect enormous loading times and a limited smoothness of the images, something which might do harm to the playing experience in this gaming genre. Nothing is farther from the truth, the loading times are rather ...
...games of the year - Fallout 3. Within just one month after the official release, I grabbed a copy of it from the local game store, and in no time, I was on my couch with my Xbox 360 controller, admiring the breathtaking environment and the innovatively implemented combat system. Adding to the pleasure was the vintage soundtracks, which are almost from the '50s,though,the tracks seemed to get repetitive as the game progresses. However, without much ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

...known for their elderscrolls franchise, Fallout 3 made an impact on me. It is one of those rare games that caused my a levels to grind to a complete halt, where i should be reading the great gatsby for english literature instead i chose to fire a mini nuke at a giant cockroach. In my opinion the sacrafice was just. After playing Oblivion my expectations were not overly high. oblivion although a good game lacked a diverse landscape and a compelling ...
...say that the story of Fallout 3 was surprising, it wasnt unbelievable but it left Oblivion wondering where the hell to shove the emporer's jewels. In a post nuclear war environment (of which before hand everything was rather 50's and EVERYTHING ran on nuclear energy - they even put it in coke) there are vaults, these deep underground safe havens have kept people safe from the ravages of nuclear devestation for centuries, however after a few scenes ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Well where can i start with this game. There are just so many things. You are the lone wanderer who has escaped from vault 101. A neuclear bunker in which about 1000 people enhabit due to the results of ww3. You are in post-nuclear Washington DC where there are just ruins. Or so you think! When you emerge from the vault you discover the wasteland. Baron, dead where nothing could live by its appearence. And then begins hours upon hours of fun gameplay. ...
...the game is just vast. Just massive. There are hundreds of different places and Thousands of different ways to play it. Each choice you make will change the overall game and how easy/ difficult it will be and how many things you can access further on in the game. The graphics are just fantastic. Such a beautiful game and fanctasically well thought out. Each and ever town you visit looks different compared to some games where they use the same basic ...

Fallout 3 is a great game which has won numerous awards such as game of the year. It attributes features karma, so you can decide whether to make your player good or bad. Fallout 3 is set in Washington DC in the year 2277, 200 years after the nuclear war which destroyed the game world in an alternate post-World War II timeline. Your character is either a boy or girl (you choose) who's father escapes from Vault 101to pursue in making the water purifier ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Fallout 3!!! I had actually played and enjoyed the game previous to this and so feel somewhat let-down. The story: Apocalyptic fallout in the fifties caused some humans to group together in "vaults" beneath the earth's surface, it is within one of these vaults that you start the game. You begin life in the game quite literally, in a disturbing birth scene and erupt into the world as your own choice of sex and race amid what can only be described ...
...but to be fair on Fallout 3 there is only so much beauty you can bestow upon apocalyptic scenery. It is not overly difficult, if only when you treat game characters as virtual piñatas and kill them for the treasure trove of caps and unusually over-powered weaponry that you find inside them. However despite these things, and the shortness of the main story, which makes you go to a previous save to actually play the other quests when you complete the ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Fallout 3 is a fantastic adventure, played out through the eyes of the young 'Vault Dweller', a child born into the ruins of the world following an epic war in which the use of nuclear weapons brought about the destruction of civilisation. The child is kept in safety in an underground community for many years, until circumstances force an escape from this sanctity, into the unknowns of the irradiated wastelands outside. I have never been a great ...
...recommended this game by a friend, I was a little dubious about whether I would enjoy it. As a result, it sat unopened for several months. However, on starting it, i was immediately gripped by its unusual gameplay style, amazing graphics and intriguing storyline. The 1950's setting is a stroke of genius, with the use of a superb soundtrack comprising legends such as The Ink Spots, Danny Kaye and Billie Holiday, which when juxtaposed against the bleak ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

This is one of those games that you read about and just cannot wait to play. An entire wasteland at your disposal. Go wherever, whenever you want. It sounds good, but does it live up to the hype? Graphics Brilliant. Blood and gore galore, but everyhing you see looks briliant. The first time you look out at the wasteland your breath will be taken away. Just beautiful. Sound Everyone has something to say, and the people talk with each other when ...
...1950s music that you will fnd enjoyable as you work your way through the death ridden wasteland. Without the radio the sound seems to match the situation, it can really help build tenseness in certain situations. Story Not the best story ever told, but gives you enogh to get into the game, and once you are into the game you will become hooked whether you like the story or not. Gameplay This is where the game comes into its own. the first person ...

...for 200 years. Fallout 3 uses some great new ideas not seen before in gaming. Such as the in-game menu system, aiming your weapon, interacting with characters. The graphics are detailled but seem to lack a certain something. At times the game feels restrictive and limited in areas. But overall a great game and worth the (long) wait! ...

Fallout 3 is excellent but falls slightly short Fallout 3 is a great game but I think if a few extra tweaks had been made then it would brilliant. + HUGE world which you can explore and do whatever you like + The ability to make numerous different choices - will your character be good or evil? + Variety in quests + Great graphics and sound + Loads of different weapons, customisation and abilities + VATS allows a new style of combat which MAKES ...

Review of Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

This may be through fault of my own but I am astonished at how many good reviews this game has had. I think the graphics are good, and the gameplay and storyline is excellent. Many quests and characters and a lot of roaming space to go around. However one thing that infuriated me and basically made me never want to play this game again is the fact that from the start I found the game very hard to progress. By this I mean, to get caps (the currency) ...
...to ammo and stimpaks (health source). To get ammo and stimpaks you have to have caps. I never had enough of each to get very far. I found myself having to avoid basically every monster in the game because I would just die and have to go way back to respawn. I could not see a way in which I could suddenly become good enough to progress because every time I tried to progress I died. The good reviews suggest that maybe this way just the way I played, ...
