Manufacturer's Description 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. The Cold War goes Next-Gen |

Room for improvement... July 15, 2010 Davib B. Gard (England) Let me start by saying that this is easily one of the best games i've ever played. That is once you've given it a couple of hours to get properly started. I've had it for ages and i've done almost everything from the main game, but i've still got the addons, and by ages I mean roughly 8 months maybe more. The only reason i'm not still on it is because i've got red dead and everyone knows how brilliant that game is.
There are a number of reasons why I didn't give it the 5 stars it rightly deserves.
-First off, the human animation is awful, simply terrible and when anyones walking around with a pistol they just look stupid.
-Secondly, and this is only a small problem, the lack of normal hairstyles is a rediculous mistake.
-Thirdly it's so bloomin' unrealistic. One guy took 59 shots to the head before he died! A shotgun takes more shots at close range to kill than a basseball bat. But my main problem is health, especially enemy health. It's so unrealistic that you can't do proper kills and stuff, like sabotaging a base without being detected. You can't knife someone 'cos that will take away half their health with a sneak bonus at max and than they make loads of noise and everyone knows you're there etc...
Any way, to dwell on those points is unfair. The game truly is brilliant and will have you hooked for ages. It is a shame that they didn't have more guns though like an AK or an SVT 'cos the war was suppossed to happen in 2077...
Great, but bug ridden June 26, 2010 Ryan Heslop There's no denying that fallout 3 is a brilliant game. But as my review title states, its very much a bug ridden game, often causing me to restart my playstation 3. There's other minor bugs, such as charcters hats being on the side of there face, characters getting stuck in walls and so on. But if you can avoid bugs like these, then Fallout 3 will entertain you for many hours.
THIS IS SO YAWN!!! May 29, 2010 Aid M 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Ok,yes,the game was good,but,come on,this has been done...........11 times,i mean,talk about"Copy-Paste"!!!
Its nothing new,and i just think its one of the copying ones,here is the Good-Bad list
Good
1:Its a free roaming game,to do whatever you want to do
2:You make up your own mind
Bad
1:Detail:The monsters are 80's crap
2:Creativity:Its all been done before(And i can't stress that enough)
3:I could go on for hours :P
Just... Epic! April 28, 2010 T. S. Hornsey Pennell (Devon, UK) I've had a PS3 Slim for about 1 1/2 years now. This was one of the first games I got for it. And I am still playing it. It's probably my favorite game of all time.
Sure it's buggy, but the huge daunting environment, the long lonely battles against all sorts of enemies and the solid storyline is so fantastic I can't see myself putting this game down for quite some time.
What I really love is how much you feel your level ups, you start the game with everything being a threat. I remember leaving the vault and dying instantly from a single radscorpion. Then later you find harder enemies, and if you persevere there is nothing you can take down by the end of the game. You end up being the hunter, running into DC looking for super mutants and talon mercs. just for sport.
It's a thing of beauty. It has flaws but I think the pros vastly outweigh the cons.
Buy it if you haven't already!
HUGE! April 26, 2010 K. Wellman (South Wales) Huge game, but does get a bit monotonous after a while, it also gets frustrating when your'e trying to get to a certain place on the map but cant seem to find your way. I loved the idea of total freedom and being able to go anywhere you wanted and do anything you want, good or bad.
