Toronto Thumbs.<blockquote>My second gripe – and it’s one I realize that no amount of patching can possibly fix – is that the AI of some of the NPCs is just awful at times. Interrupted speech, getting in the line of fire, and general lack of facial expression in times of severe danger are among the things that should be addressed in any follow-ups to this game. A lot of work has obviously gone into making the world of Fallout 3 a believable one, and for most games the AI problems wouldn’t be an issue because they would be on par with everything else in the game. But Fallout 3 is actually more than a game.</blockquote>www.thestute.com/media/storage/paper1092/news/2008/11/07/Opinion/Game-Review.Fallout.3-3527398.shtml]The Stute.[/url]<blockquote>New to the mix is the V.A.T.S. aiming mode, which turns "Fallout 3" into a turn based shooter.</blockquote>Absolute Games, 75%.<blockquote>Alas, having successfully reproduced the shell Of fallout, Bethesda substituted its contents.
Bethesda relishes murders, accentuating attention to the crushed tortoises and the torn extremities; however, they perish here exceptionally adult - children they are immortal. Really the value of human life does change with the age? Apparently, the brutal handlings above the defenseless very young girls and the decrepit old men considered it more ethical - the scissors of their censorship they did not touch.</blockquote>ComputerGames, 72/100 (thanks to Dominus).<blockquote>To me, Fallout 3 is Bethesda's best game yet, but it's got more holes than a sinking ship. It's a perfect symbol for contemporary games: oversimplified, too accessible and way too commercial. The clever, edgy dialogues are gone, along with the complex relationships and the depth of the game world, replaced by a flawed visual feast, generic conversations and a gameplay fit for the masses.</blockquote>Gaming Verdict, 9/10.<blockquote>To wrap it all up, I know I might have weighted this review somewhat to the negative aspects that I perceived in the game, but if so that is only because so much praise has already been heaped upon it. That praise is deserved, to be sure, but the game certainly has some areas that could see improvement. Having said that, there hasn’t been a game in a long time that has gripped me in this manner.</blockquote>Neowin.<blockquote>In conclusion, Fallout 3 is definitely worth a look at; the game appeals to both the casual and hardcore gamers. Whilst it is debatably Oblivion for 2008, there really wasn't much to work on in Oblivion, and what there was has been noted and improved. Fallout 3 has all it takes to be a mainstream, yet special RPG, that appeals to a wide audience. Even those who have not played many RPGs before, or even none at all, will feel comfortable playing what could only be described as one of this year's most remarkable games. The price may be a little high for the special editions, but it's worth every penny when you consider that this is at the top end of video games.</blockquote>Digital Chumps, 8.0.<blockquote>Now, the problem of the game lies deep within the gameplay itself. Clearly following the success of Oblivion, which was just a hell of a game, rubbed off quite a bit on the gameplay mechanics of Fallout 3. That's a good and bad thing.
The characters details are so damn good too, as you can see someone's teeth, the proper mouth movement and just little things that remind you that Bethesda worked so darn hard on getting the visuals right. They did a near perfect job.</blockquote>
