Little bit of barrel-scraping here, but it makes for funny quotes.
Worthplaying PC review, 9.6/10.<blockquote>Certain armor can also bestow temporary bonuses in the same way that JRPG items do, which will likely grate the survivalist nerves of more than a few of the Fallout faithful. Some bonuses make more sense, such as when Power Armor grants improved strength or books that improve your skills. I still had a fantastic time despite this, but with so many of these extras floating around, the level cap felt pointless. It would have made more sense to not have a level cap but place a limit on perks, because once they're reached, it dramatically shifts the gameplay into one of pure scavenging without the drive to improve.</blockquote>Ctrl+Alt+Del.<blockquote>I've still got a ways to go with the game, but I've played for an entire day, and I'm looking forward to playing another one. It's not the Fallout 3 I'd been dreaming of for the last ten year, what Project Van Buren was supposed to be, what Starcraft 2 is to Starcraft... a true isometric successor with fancy 3D graphics.
But it is Fallout 3. And so far, it's really enjoyable.</blockquote>Computer Shopper.<blockquote>There’s very little humor in the game, and Bethesda has made the Fallout world quite depressing. You’ll recognize familiar landmarks, now in ruins. Your main objection in the game is to find out what happened to your father, and this involves talking to a lot of people. If you aren’t used to role-playing games, you might find this incredibly tiring. A lot of the game is about exploration, so don’t expect it to be entirely action and no substance.</blockquote>Port City Gamers.<blockquote>Besthesda Softwork's Fallout 3 has the perfect recipe to be a great game. Taking the Oblivion engine and wrapping it in a post apocalyptic Washington, D.C., and adding guns, I mean what else could you want? Well, unfortunately one thing they forgot to add was fun and excitement.</blockquote>The Nerdiest Kids blog.<blockquote>Fallout 3 is one of the year’s best games. The gameplay and atmosphere of the game should sell you alone. If you pass this up, you can die in a fire.</blockquote>Fallout 3 blog.<blockquote>I am so glad that they kept the VATS combat system of the older Fallouts. Honestly, without it, it wouldn't have really been Fallout.</blockquote>Blend Games, 4.5/5.<blockquote>While the storyline is a fitting continuation of the series, I wasn't as thrilled with the characters themselves. Liam Neeson voices the main character's father and he's awesome, but that's pretty much the only character you'll develop any sort of attachment to. It's an open-world game filled with hundreds of characters, many of whom you can kill at a whim, so I wasn't expecting too much character development. I was satisfied with how talkative most quest NPC's were, but the NPC companions are sadly made of cardboard.
The first two Fallout games have taken on this mythical aura amongst fans over the past decade and I have no reason to doubt that in time this game will be viewed with the same rose-colored glasses.</blockquote>Gamer's Review, 89%.<blockquote>Fall out 3 a beautiful role performance is very good general and despite the English acoustic output to understand, however the main problems are the animations of the characters, those usually too awkwardly and matt work and on the other side the intensified AI error, which disturbs the play river substantially, since one must to also sometimes escort and these then really dämlich employ themselves persons. However it is a mad play, which more good than bad characteristics possesses.</blockquote>Yet Another Reviews Service, 9.<blockquote>Fallout 3 is one of the most engaging and fun experiences I've had in a game in a very long time. The Xbox 360 version looks fantastic, and even with the few bugs it has, it is very easy to overlook them because of the sheer size and scope of the game. If you are a fan of Role Playing Games or First Person Shooters, then I recommend you pick up this game.</blockquote>
