Product Description
Fallout 3 X360
Amazon.com
The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining 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, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and 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, and the truth.Key Features:- Limitless Freedom! - Take in the sights and sounds of the vast Capital Wasteland!

 A Game That Can Be Played For Over 100 Hours. October 27, 2009
Michael R. Abraham (WIlkes-Barre, Pa USA)
Opening Statement...
War......War Never Changes....... This is a statement that I will neevr forget. You see it is a statment made in the Game Fallout 3 which to many including myself is one of the best RPG games that you can buy. It really does push the system to the max with a lot of diffrent items. It also take a good amount of time to beat so therefore it keeps you hooked until you beat it. This is a game that I can safley say has it all.
Gameplay...
This game at first takes a little time to get used to. But after that you get used to the controls very quickly. The specail V.A.T.S. System that is used throughout the game is awesome. It adds a whole new theme to the gameplay and I personally love it. It acts as a special homing device on enemies and works very well. There is an option to switch between 1st and 3rd person which I found to like becuase I am partail to 3rd person so when I want to use it I can with the click of a button. Now there are only a few things that I dislike. One is for the fact that walking around the wasteland while trying to get to one certain point you will encounter a pile of rubble. Now someone might think they can just jump over it but sometimes you get stuck trying to which means you have to get down and try another route. That is frustrating to anyone. Being able to use the Pip-Boy which is a small menu makes everything easy and orginized to find whatever you need in the blink of an eye. Being able to use your weapons switch between them moving and everything along this catagory are all easily picked up. I give this catagory a 4.3/5
Graphics...
Now there are a lot of people out there that can argue saying that this game has so-so or okay graphics. See I disagree with them for the main fact that this RPG is a huge one meaning that there is a lot of ground to cover. When you look at the graphics on that range I say that they are pretty darn good with the occasinal things looking funny. Like some of the enemy but not enought to make it hard to look at. Or for you to say the graphics such or anything along the lines of that. I give this catagory a 4.6/5
Storyline...
This game is imfamous in my opinion as having a outstanding long storyline. Obviously there is one main story that you foloow throughout the whole game in which you are trying to finish one main objective. But as you come to the end of that objective that you were trying to do throughout the game you are opened up with several more side quests you can do which makes this game something you can play for hours becuase there are many diffrent things you can do wheather you are finished with the game or not. I have played this game for about 62 hours and I'm not done exploring yet. So I have to say the many storylines or quests of this game is something to keep you occupied for a long time. I give this catagory a 5/5
Sound/Audio....
This game is freaky when it comes to the sound and audio of the game. Number one when you are playing through the wasteland you encounter diffrent types of enemies. Some of the noises you here can freak you out if you are playing at night. I'm man enough to say I jumped a few times haha. Now ontop of all of the noises you here they have this one radio channel you can listen to called Galaxey News Radio. All they play is music from the 40's and 50's now if that isn't enough to freak you out I don't know what will. Along with all of that the gunshots all sound clear and accurate and the sounds of killing enemies sounds cool. Along with the character dialoge. I give this catagory a 5/5..
Final Thought...
Now if you are one of many people who enjoy playing new games I would have to higly recommend this game. This is the first game I have played in the Fallout series and I really do enjoy playing it. It is a fun game to get a hold of and just play. ALso if you are someone like me who from time to time get in the slump of being board with what you have this is a good game to pop in. It appeals to a lot of gamers and what they want out of a game. This is a game that packs a full punch of awesomeness around every corner. It has a lot of what people want in every catagory. I suggest this game to anyone that wants a new fun and addicting game this one is all yours. With the exception of some of the minor things this game is a good one to play. I would have to overall rate this game a 4.4/5. ANd remember ...War.....War Never Changes.......

Fallout 3 is a very large game, and a very open game with respect for the player. Unlike most super-linear, highly-scripted games, Fallout 3 allows you to pick your own path for the story. Some of the best moments of the game are the mere traveling being large areas, exploring the wilderness. The mechanics are just a little shaky sometimes due to the heavy RPG elements at work here, a price that I'm more than willing to pay for such a rich experience. Fallout 3 is a worthy successor to the previous two Fallout titles.
A game for immersion October 6, 2009
Derek J. Gildea (Washington, D.C.)
Fallout 3's strengths are not in its visuals or its voice acting or even in its gameplay. All of these features take a back seat to the world the game builds. Exploring the wastelands and finding little stories everywhere about the end of the world is a great experience. Although the game is flawed - character animations are atrocious, the main storyline is not very compelling, the color pallet of the game is almost universally brown and grey - there is so much content and so much heart put into this game that I can't help but highly recommend it.
