Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Fallout 3 PS3 Amazon.com: 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.
For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.Key Features:

 Rating:  - Fallout 3Fallout 3 is an excellent game! It's huge! While you can go right for the main quest and finish somewhat earlier, this game gives you the options to go on many side quests that are very fun, thus extending your game much longer than is required. I have been a fan of fallout for many years and this game is every bit as fun as the others. Great job on design. Rating: - Ahh...my life sucked away, little by little!What a great diversion this game is! I got into this game in March 2010, a few years after it was released and just about every other gamer out there has played and exhausted its fun, but on the off chance that there is a Fallout newbie somewhere out there who has not experienced its joy, hopefully my input will help. First off, economically, buying the Game of the Year edition may be the best bet, as it has all five of the $9.95/ea add-ons for the main game, but I wanted to try out the game first. I had a $10 credit so I figured $7 for the original edition is tough to beat. Recently I dl'ed Broken Steel and Point Lookout off PSN. I haven't finished the game, yet, but I have reached the max level 20 and Broken Steel allows leveling to 30 which is essential for some of the great perks awarded at each even level. I think this is the way to go, as the main game has absorbed 75 hours of my time already, and more than paid for itself. Chances are, if you are a Fallout ...

I was a bit weary at first, thinking it was going to be just another first person shooter with slightly more plot, but boy was I wrong. WAY wrong. After playing through Fallout 3 just once, I can safely say that I'm ashamed that I never played the previous titles. Fallout 3 has replay up the wahzoo, and this is one of the few games of this console generation that I would play on a daily basis until I completed it. It just does everything right to the point where I feel like a fanboy for having so many good things to say about it. Fallout 3 puts you in the role of a silent protagonist who grew up living in a vault after a great war took place. The vault is all you knew as a child, and one day, your dad (a top scientist) just plain leaves. This is a big no-no since there ... Read More Rating: - FALLOUT 3 REVIEWOverview: Set in a futuristic post-apoclyptic version of Washington D.C. This RPG is basically one large universe full of characters and conflict that the player can chose to save, destroy, do neither, or any shade of grey. Story: A skeleton main plot that the player can choose to do or not to do at any given time. You make your own story. 5/5 Graphics: Overall good graphics, that sometimes glitch and seem fake when alot is going on. 4/5 Gameplay: Intensly entertaining to play, but because of the massive ram requirment the game will slow down when alot is going down. -Players use a vast variety of weapons, clothing, medicine, and other items. - Combat is very intense with or without V.A.T.S -Glitches are common and can occur at any time or any place, and potentially lost data can cause mass frustration. 4/5 Re-Playability: One can play for days and never even come close to seeing ... Read More Rating: - One of my favorite games ever!Pros: +original and compelling story +large expansive wasteland to explore +countless missions and side missions +plenty of weapons and armor to collect +very long game 50+ hours +lots of available DLC Cons: -some glitches -character models and voices are reused Side note: DO NOT BUY THE GAME OF THE YEAR! I had originally bought the GOTY edition but it is virtually unplayable. Constant freezing, events not happening, DLC was totally unplayable. I ended up trading in it for this edition. |
