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.

 great role playing game January 8, 2009
caseyfoofoo (Rochester NY)
I watched my 18 year old son play this game and didn't care for the drab colors and depressing topic. Then I started my own game. It is a great game. I have never been disappointed with bethesdas games. I think it will take me a year of playing to do it all. It has lot and lots of side stories. The bad guys I shoot bleed. I don't like having people bleed when I shoot them. In some games you can change that setting. I don't think you can in this game. but it isn't too gross. There is more swearing than I want to hear. But since I can turn off the sound, I don't have to hear it. This game is intended for older kids, like 18 or older. Wouldn't it be nice if they had a Teen version of the game. I would enjoy that more. My sons would be just as happy with it.
Well worth the price! January 7, 2009
Jim Nobody (No place)
I'll start by saying that I wasn't a fan of the game Morrowind, which is the only one I played from that series. I like some RPG's, but don't really care for all the running around, looking here and there, and making mistakes in leveling up a character.
This Fallout 3 was quite a surprise. I rented it first to see how it would be. It started out pretty slow and I had my doubts through the initial part of the game. I kept trying to decide if this would be a game I could really get into, and six hours later, after straight playing, I decided to take the game straight back to the rental place and by a copy.
This is the deepest, most involved game I've ever played. The best part is after exhausting playing as a good character, I can replay the whole thing as an evil sort and the quests will turn out differently.
Most of the quests are cool, the main story line is good and the weapons are great.
There are not many mistakes that can be made leveling up, nothing that cannot be fixed later. Sure there are better choices that would have made it easier, but nothing to the point of having to restart to be able to get out of the first level alive.
As with these types of games, you can save anywhere you feel the need, which is handy after walking a great distance. Once you discover a certain new area, you'll be able to fast travel to and from there.
Like I said, I've never played a game so involved with this much action. As long as you don't completely finish the main quest, you'll be able to go around doing all sorts of things, many miscellaneous quests to get into. Well worth the full new price, and I cannot say that about many 360 games today.
As close to the nuclear apocalypse you can get without actually being there! January 7, 2009
A. Green (Bristol, VA USA)
This game is amazing. It hooked me for over a month, in which time I had no desire to play any other games. The atmosphere is enveloping and very well designed. Add that to the fact that you can essentially create any kind of character you want, making the game very different every time you play, and you have a game that more than pays for itself in fun factor. Anyone who likes video games would do very well to pick this one up!

OK, I can't play the game, first person makes me sick. I got this for my son and currently it is all he plays. It is very similar to oblivion. kill mutants. find food. find weapons. find health.
