The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining 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, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

 Bethesda kept it alive December 2, 2008
First off, amazon shipping it outstanding and I love their great service.
Now for the game.
Bethesda did a great job keeping the Fallout series going. All the nostalgics of Fallout; Puns, References, Humor, Gore, and Pip-boy are all here.
The sand box feel of the game is great, I have played for 20 hours and realized I still have not even finished the first story-quest of the main story line yet. So I got back on track and then started rolling with the story, and the story is great how you can choose what and how you will finish it.
I still have not finished the game yet, I get side-tracked and want to save and do things a different way - which some may say is bad. Do not confuse my way of playing with a flaw in the game, it is very easy to stay on course with the story I just love all the ways to do it.
So in closing, this game gets a 100/100 and I recommend it to all Fallout fans, Oblivion fans, and all other game fans.
Pretty rad December 1, 2008
Being a fan of the original series with sitting patient through the 10 years and the death of Van Buren, Fallout 3 was my highlight release of the year. Though it may be "Oblivion: this time with guns and a lot of brown" I still had a lot of fun. This game was not fallout to me but a different game that was still awesome. This game was also a little short compared to oblivion but when you think about it, the original fallout could be completed in about an hour.
Open-ended game unlike any other November 29, 2008
This game is so much fun! Instead of the typical "create your character" screens, you play through a series of events in your childhood in order to choose your attributes and skills, which adds a new level of immersion to the game. Once you leave the Vault, you are dropped into one of the most effectively realized post-apocalyptic visions of the Washington DC area imaginable. From there, you truly get to choose where to go and what to do, making a name for yourself along the way, whether as a savior of humanity or the most evil thing to wander the wastes. The main quest is engrossing and the side quests are a lot of fun, but exploration is what I found to be the most fun. You find somewhere new, only to see something interesting on the horizon, so you set off again. All in all, it's a great game, slightly sullied by the occasional crash, but Bethesda is working on patches for that. You should really get this game!!
game of the year quality November 29, 2008
If you enjoy The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion then you will enjoy this game.
Fallout 3 is a role-playing game that offers so many character choices that I'm going to have to play through multiple time just to try out different options. Do you want to charm people, sneak past them, or just shoot them: Choices of weapons: brass knuckles, lasers, silencers, automic weapons, sniper rifles, flame throwers, or mini-nukes.
The entire game gives you choices. You can follow the main story line, work on other quests, or just wander the waste lands getting into trouble.
There are only 2 downsides.
1) The occasional crash. As long as you save often (F5 quick save) this is only a minor annoyance. If you aren't saving, then this could be a real headache. I'd suggest saving.
2) VATS is nearly unusable if you have your graphic settings to high. I'm on a pretty good computer and the game nearly stopped on me. The answer is to reduce the AA and AF. I've put my AA to 2x and AF to 4x. The game still looks good and VATS works pretty good most of the time.
Dont hesitate to experence this game yourself November 29, 2008
Ive been a fan of the fallout game's for a long long time.
im not HUGE into the games but i would list them in top 10favorite games ive ever played.
ive only played fallout3 for about 5hr's total so far, and i love it!
its heavy on diologe right now, but i just got to the shoot-em-up part and im having a blast.
old fallout you could max 1 skill, and pretty much be fine.
but the way this game is layed out, the fight's are more challenging (turn up difficulty btw)
this is the fallout of the "new age"
is it like the older one's? NO!
but this isent the same time as thouse games.
over all i give the game 5*s so far out of my exprences, and dont let ppl curve you past this game just off of there exprence, this game will be different from person to person!
as far as the collectors edition i ordered, i felt i really dident get my extra money worth.
i love the lunch box, and the DVD was great.
but the concept art book was pretty low quality, and could have been done much much better.
The bobble head is made cheaply, and i had plan's to mount it in my car, but the way its made i belive the first big bump i hit the head would come flying off.... so its ontop of my tv for now.
over all a great game, collectors edition is nice too, but lacking a bit.
