console port. what else to say. very annoying interface that ruins the game. Also you cant play the game in either real time or VATS mode (as advertised), you have to switch between modes all the time, very annoying.
what i really liked about the game was headshots, blood and flying bodyparts in slow motion. And i liked some of the quests. The rest of the game - not so much.
I have to give credit where credit is due, and Bethesda are to be congratulated on making a worthy follow up to the first two classic Fallout games, with more content in the vanilla version than you could shake a Radscorpion tail at, and especially for making it immensely modifiable, increasing the time I've spent with it from the dozens of hours to the hundreds.
That being said, Fallout 3 is arguably much more than the sum of its parts. From the mediocre game engine with its endless bugs, some of which are glaringly obvious, others game breaking, to the characters who all look like they've been beaten with the stupid stick, to the overpriced DLC that replaces the game's pathetic ending with a proper one, it doesn't sound, on paper, like a fantastic game. It's only when all the constituent parts come together that the true brilliance of the game shines through.
Fallout 3's main strength is the how it manages to capture the player's imagination, and throughout the many hours you'll undoubtedly play Fallout 3, it never lets up on the hold it has on you. It's utterly believable and engrossing, and even the most horrific of bugs don't often manage to break the spell. It's astounding how easy it is to forgive games for their many glaring weaknesses and faults when they're this much fun, as - I certainly hope - fun is what gaming is all about, and that's exactly what Fallout 3 is.Hours upon hours of fun.
Everything in Fallout 3, from exploring the wasteland tackling one of the many quests to hitting Mole Rats with a stick that makes them explode, is a delight. You want to explore the Capitol Wasteland because you're genuinely interested in learning more about it, you care about its inhabitants. This is a true role playing game, in that you feel like a real wastelander, and everything you do in game reflects that.
This is, in short, what makes the game worth playing. Its endless charm and personality more than compensate for what it lacks. Kiss your free time goodbye.
Fallout 3 adds an extremely large open world environment for everyone. As a free-roam game you take on the footsteps of either a male or female; which is completely customisable at the start to your desired character of preference. With the game being set during an post apocalyptic environment, you get to travel around Washington D.C and the wastelands in the USA. The game has some stunning graphics and certainly some interesting combo elements as well as a fair decent story that at least makes a main back line of the plot; whereas you can ultimately decide what to do, and do little side quests of your decision. The dialogue is near enough top notch so there is plenty here to keep you entertained; however the story can feel a bit far fetched as you can certainly become very bored of this game and find it a little TOO demanding for yourself!!!!!. However this game does have a lot of greatness, but tons of work that should have been finished before it's quick release

Really Really COOL game:)
So difficult that only the word "Unfair" comes to mind when playing this. The graphics were amazing for their time and still hold fairly well, this game is perhaps one of the hardest, second only to Super Meat Boy.
There are loads of problems with it in terms of bugs, I got smacked by a super mutiant and become one with the geometry but that aside an enjoyable experiences. It's biggest problem is it's fanbase.
It's too far up its own arse, well the community is anyway.
It's not the worst game I've played but this doesn't crack my top 10.
