Product Description
For 200 years, Vault 101, a fallout shelter, has 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 Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants. Yet one morning, you awake to find that your father has 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. Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) that combines 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.

 Best PS3 game of the year...I think December 5, 2008
I purchased this game when it came out, and stillto this day I cannot stop plain. Some people say this game is oblivion with gun, but I have played oblivion and I did not like it too much. Fallout 3 I love it. If the statement "oblivion with gun" preventing you from purchasing this game, just get it and play it becuase it is much more than oblivion.
pretty awesome, but... December 4, 2008
First off, I am a huge fan of the first two games in the Fallout series, so I have to try really hard not to be too critical about this game. Fortunately it was so good that I can comfortably give it 4 stars. It is really fun, beautiful, and the VATS system is great.
The main story line is in my opinion pretty pathetic, so in that sense it fails, but there are countless hours of fun side quests and exploring, so i didnt really even bother with the story line until i hit about 50 hours of gameplay.
The over all mood and humor of the original 2 fallouts arent really achieved, it feels more forced in F3. If you want to know what Fallout is actually like, go play the originals, but despite all that, Fallout 3 is still a great game worth playing because it is really fun.
Fallout 3 = Oblivion December 4, 2008
Fallout 3 is a great game. Looks a lot like the previous Fallout games except created by Bethesda instead of Black Isle. However, it only earns 4 stars from me.
4 years of making is a long time but Bethesda forgot 1 little detail. Their design artists, story tellers, QA, and programmers really invested a lot of time and talents into this game. I like 99% of this game, but the 1% that I don't like is how the NPCs move exactly the same like NPCs in Oblivion. One little example, look how NPC for both Fallout 3 and Oblivion gets up from bed. Other than different scenaries, stories, and weapons, I was expecting the NPC reacts differently. The 3D lighting and other graphic stuff are no different too. So basically not much different compared to Oblivion.
However, if you never played Oblivion, just disregard my review. Fallout 3 will steal your time from your family and daily routine. Guaranteed you will experience sleeping deprivation and solitary feelings from member of friends and families.
If you really need an excellent walk through, get the book from Primagames. Or better, free from Wikicheats.com
 Beta quality at final release December 2, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
The game would be fantastic, if only Bethesda had waited to release the game until it was ready.
The graphics are great, gameplay is amazing, and it's the most fun ps3 game I own, at least up until playing one of the main quest missions and the game freezing, locking me in a basement and cannot get out.
This was not the first glitch I encountered, yet it's the first I can't work around. I couldn't take the test at the start of the game, a couple freezes but I always found a way around. This time I have no outside saves and the game will not let me continue without crashing the PS3.
Bethesda says it's a known issue, yet they have no timetable for a patch and I'm not hopeful. If you don't believe me google Jefferson Memorial glitch, I'm not the only one.
Release a market ready product and this is a 5 star game, but as it is I can't even get half way through the main quest. This should be a beta and Bethesda has some work before it SHOULD be market ready...
Game of the Year December 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had Fallout 3 for a few weeks now and have to say that while it has some departures from the series it is an amazing game. I started out wanting to follow the main story but ended up being pulled into the world and wandering. The game world is huge with countless locations to explore and hundreds of random missions to perform. This is a must own for any RPG fan and almost any real gamer.
