The shooter/RPG of this generationAug 05, 2010 Fallout 3 is a mix of two genres of games. It's a shooting game and it also has great implementation of RPG elements. If you like role playing games it's a must buy. If you only like shooters, you may want to rent it before you make the purchase. The game starts out in vault 101 at the time of your birth. The first hour or so is spent on exploration and character development. That's why you should rent this game if you only like shooters because the first hour will drag by for you due to lack of excitement. However if you are interested in checking out a game that has shooting AND a great story, your patience for the first hour will be handsomely rewarded. As soon as you leave the vault the action picks up. The game really starts around this time but be warned, the difficulty is extreme at first. You will probably die if you stand to fight. Your best bet is to run and run frequently. It's nothing to be ashamed of because like an game with RPG elements you need to level up a bit before you can get into the combat. The wasteland you start your journey in is like no other setting in games today. Its a gruesome and yet gorgeous place, with enemies that will test your skill in every way imaginable. The combat can be played as a shooter firing at anything that moves but is a lot more enjoyable when the combat is utilizing the amazing VATS system. This system lets you target a specific area of the enemy and gives you the odds that you will hit or not hit said area. once you decide which area to fire at, it is followed by a great mini video of your character firing at the enemy and the hit or miss. These videos are very graphic if you hit, which is a major reason this game is NOT for children. i won't ruin the storyline or give anything away. you need to explore the wasteland yourself if this game sounds like it's for you. Enjoy the game!
Wow!Jul 13, 2010 All I can say is that this is one of the BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME. Kept me occupied for months, but you can jump in and out whenever you want. I just wish there were more expansions available, because I've got them all. If you liked the original Fallout series, this will blow your mind. If you've never seen the original Fallout series... This will blow your mind. You can't go wrong with this game. Can't wait for Fallout: New Vegas!

Stupid Game!Jul 07, 2010 This is the worst game i have every played. The story started great the plot had me going. But as soon as you get out of the vault the game just sends you into this wasteland of what aftermath of war. But you are against large raoches and ants..who wont die unless you have unlimited ammo which you dont. You are sposed to make weapons but nothing works and unless you dont have a life and can spend all day learning this game dont get it. I want a game where they tell you go here heres your weapon kill this guy...i dont have time to wander an ugly boring world looking for stuff to do...and oh dont drink whisky or vodka cause you withdraw and you can barley walk and cant run...Stupid game dont waste your time and get a game thats worht your money.
Best game ever!Jun 28, 2010 If you like RPGs and First Person Shooters, than you will love Fallout 3. Nuff said. Get this game!!
Two words: mind blowingJun 26, 2010 The perfect blend of RPG, FPS, and interesting storyline that will keep you hooked and riveted for many many hours! I have played 10 hours and feel like I haven't made a scratch. An amazing amazing game. My only regret is I just discovered it recently!
