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.

As a fan of the original Fallout games 1 & 2 and even Fallout tactics to a certain degree I had very high hopes for Fallout 3. They were so high in fact that I was afraid I was setting myself up to be let down as is often the case with games. Thanks to the father of Atom,this was not the case with Fallout 3. This game rocks from start to finish, that is if you ever can really finish this game. I have logged over 100 hours exploring the wasteland and downtown DC and I still hear people talk ... Read More

This is the most bug infested game i have ever played, i can only find one word to describe the gameplay (inbetween the recurring crashes); BOOOOORRRRINGGGG no i mean seriously BOOOORRRINGGGG!!!
Maybe Bethesda should play some games like CODMW, CODWAW, CRYSIS, BIOSHOCK ETC, They might learn a thing or two about making a game exciting and addictive.

This game is very good in every respect. I really do not understand how anyone would rate it lower than 4 stars UNLESS they started out with unrealistic expectations.
The fact is that the game is very detailed, has excellent graphics, a decent (if not very good) story line, good voice acting, and a great variety of weapons, armors and other items.
The only possible complaint I have about it is that the opponents are a little limited, and not terribly challenging after a certain ... Read More

A lot of the issues people have taken with the game are DRM based, but, honestly, this game isn't that bad DRM-wise. The gameplay is quite excellent - it beats the pants off of Oblivion, and I find it more playable than the old Fallout games. It does have some problems with the ending that are rather disappointing, but overall, It's been a while since I've had this much fun with a game. This is one worth buying.

I waited many years for the third installment of one of my favorite games of all time. Fallout 1 and 2 were amazing games, totally captivating and immersive, well balanced, challenging and a universe worthy of devotion.
Fallout 3, in it's ill conceived quest to run with the big boys of FPS such as Gears of War, fails at every level. Gone are the compelling game play and interesting world - it's simply a shadowy rehash of the former games but without the verve. Gone are the interesting overarching ... Read More
