The Gamer's Hub, second review, 8/10.<blockquote>Bethesda had kept with tradition and included those famous words. "War never changes". From that moment, it was becoming clear to me that this was not going to be a poor follow on of a classic game.
Playing it upon the highest options you can have lead to an amazingly detailed world. The weapons look and feel like they should, and the enviroment around you leaves you with your jaw dropping. Much to my suprise when I was sitting there watching the water effects and a rabid dog came to take a bite out of my leg.
Every character you encounter in the game has its own individual voice. Excluding of course those that wont talk to you. You are able to detect through their voice if they are happy, sad, frustrated, depressed etc etc.</blockquote>The Phoenix, 3.5/4.<blockquote>You find more than a few villages in addition to the DC metro area populated by survivors and settlers. Your pop has visited a few of these places, and the locals will tell you where he's going. But that information doesn't come free — you have to embark on a series of quests to increasingly remote locations in the wasteland. You'll do something for one settler, who will then tell you to go to another town, where you'll meet another person with a different task for you, and so forth. It makes sense in context: you're armed and intrepid, so of course people want you to run errands for them while they stay safe.</blockquote>VideoGames, 100%.<blockquote>Developers Bethesda, responsible for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, have taken the much beloved Fallout series and brought it screaming into the current generation. With a game so deep, so huge, so complex and so alive that’s it’s a must-buy for any fan of video games at all.
The Fallout series on PC is a storied franchise with thousands of devoted, and dozens of crazed, fans. Although the series never reached the heights of role-playing giants Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star or Morrowind, it still has a rich and deep history. Combine this history with one of the most talented development houses on the planet and you always did have the potential for something special, but few could have predicted just how special Fallout 3 would become.
A living, breathing game world that has few equals; Bethesda has topped Oblivion with Fallout 3 and has made quite possibly the best role-playing game of all time.</blockquote>Video Game News, Inc., 10/10.<blockquote>It is extremely impressive that Bethesda manages to create a game that plays like an Elder Scrolls title while still feeling like a Fallout game. All of the Fallout staples are here and very well implemented.
In my opinion Fallout 3 is Bethesda’s best title to date. It combines the best elements of their successful Elder Scrolls franchise and the critically acclaimed Fallout series and does not sacrifice anything from either. Addictive gameplay, lasting replay value and a great atmosphere merge to form the best game of 2008 thus far. I really cannot think of any flaws.</blockquote>PSX Games.<blockquote>This game was one of the best I have ever played on the PS3. It has everything a game could want, a fantastic story with multiple paths, futuristic weapons and a very good character development system.
Fallout 3 is a very good game with very little criticism after all it was awarded best game of the year at E3.</blockquote>Entertainment.ie, 5/5.<blockquote>Like Oblivion, the world is just rife with wrongs that need righting. There is so much to do and explore; like Oblivion, you will be playing this for months.
I can already see you smiling, the possibilities are endless.</blockquote>The Whitman Word.<blockquote>All in all, Fallout 3 is an amazing game. I cannot praise this game enough. Anybody who liked Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion or likes first person shooters and role playing games should buy this game. I’m not sure if it will be something everybody will love, but even if it doesn’t interest you give it a chance. You will be blown away.</blockquote>
