For our New Year's edition, let's see what those devious champagne-drinkers are up to.
JeuxVideo/Clubic.<blockquote>Delicate situation that of Bethesda. It was commercially suicidal to technically carry out a title in the vein of the Fallout precedents, but it was necessary all the same to move away Oblivion sufficient so that the title has a clean identity. A challenge which the developers managed to take up with however a flat: Fallout 3 is really very pleasant, but it is difficult to see there the spiritual son of the precedents opus. He has also other things to re-examine (the interface in particular) and we hope sincerely that community PC can carry out the same prowesses as on Oblivion, but even in the state, Fallout 3 is a big game. Environment is excellent there, the very successful universe and the scenario more than correct.</blockquote>Tom's Games (French edition), 15/20.<blockquote>In spite of some regrettable mistakes and a too great relationship with Oblivion, Fallout 3 is an excellent play not to be missed. That one is fan of the first hour or neophyte of the nuclear life post war, one should not especially miss this RPG which somewhat leaves us the fantastic eternal medieval universe served again to nausea. Let us not forget all the same to put a yellow paperboard at Bethesda which, it should well be said, did not deploy all its talent and to prefer to rest on its assets.</blockquote>Eurogamer.fr, 10/10.<blockquote>At all events, I nit-pick really to find defects to him. Fallout 3 is by far the best play which I played since BioShock - a play with which it shares a sumptuous artistic vision and a superb environment. In spite of many concerns, Fallout 3 almost succeeds in without effort achieving its principal goal to make revive a very appreciated label likely to like by the vast majority of the players. It is an experiment exciting and absorbing, which will hold you in breath during weeks, that you are attracted by the action, the adventure, where roleplay, because you will fall fatally in love with his permanent frenzy, of his incredible atmosphere, the realism of his places and the immense latitude of choice that it offers to you.</blockquote>JeuxVideo.com, 17/20.<blockquote>Fallout died, lives Fallout! Such could be the epilogue of a polemic which is however not ready to die out. While preferring to widen its public rather than to answer waitings of the players of the first hour, Fallout 3 will naturally put at back part of the fans of the series. But what some will regard as bad Fallout remains very good Elder Scrolls post-apocalyptic, which manages to put forward quite real qualities though different. Essence is that the pleasure of covering its leather armour and of leaving to the attack a camp super mutants remained intact. In short, Fallout 3 it is Nuka-Cola light, but it is bloody good nevertheless.</blockquote>JeuxActu, 15/20.<blockquote>To take again a licence as prestigious as Fallout is an act with double edge. If the editor makes sure thus of a strong media exposure and many purchases of impulse, it also runs up against the requirement of fans hardcores, followers of “they were better front”. But we are not any more in 1997, it is necessary to know be reasonable and to make a cross on the charm of the 2D and the turn by turn of first Fallout.
That it is said: Fallout 3 failed to be very a big game, one of this those which mark their time and which one speaks again with emotion ten years later, with the image of its ancestors. Alas, the objective is not achieved. The fault falls about it on various more or less irritating problems, to start with a certain lack of coherence.</blockquote>PlayFrance, 8.5/10.<blockquote>It should well be acknowledged, Fallout 3 is relatively close to Oblivion, the preceding production of Bethesda: one finds there in particular a structure articulated around multiple searches, a good interaction with the environment, of the dialogues with multiple choices and the combat in real-time to quote only some similarities. Unfortunately, certain defects are them also present like the suffering graphic engine of some a little painful gel of screen and the very convincing artificial intelligence of the adversaries not always. Fortunately, the play manages to dissociate thanks in particular to its completely different post-apocalyptic universe, its system of combat SVAV and some modifications in the evolution of the character. The fans of the series will have perhaps evil to adopt this third shutter, more accessible it is true than the first both Fallout, but the amateurs of the Bethesda leg will find without any doubt their account there. With you to see in what a camp you are located!</blockquote>
