I just purchased Fallout 3 and I am in shocked. I have not wanted to take a break since I received this game, but I had to force myself to because of a school test and to write this review. Fallout 3 is definitely worth all the hype it received over the course of two years!
I don't like the term Action-Role Playing game though...Yes you can choose your own course and be the good/bad/neutral guy/girl (Think Mass Effect), but don't let this confuse you because this is an action game.
The V.A.T.S. System is awesome! I didn't think I would like this feature, but it's great in some tight-spots in the game.
The story line is good. I won't say that I am super interested in the story, but it's there and hopefully it gets interesting as time goes by.
I have a feeling this will get Game of the Year. I hate to compare this to Bioshock because the games are so different. But I will say that the feeling I had when I first started this game was the same feeling I had when I first played Bioshock. I am not saying that these games are similar in any way, I am just saying that you will be excited if your purchase this game.
I use a 10 point rating scale and I give this game a 10/10. This game has all the elements: Action, Adventure, Free-Roaming, Tons of Tasks, The Hooked Factor, A storyline, Funny items in game, and the controls are good.
You can't go wrong with this game. Seriously! Highly Recommended!

Maybe you would argue that this is just "Oblivion with guns", but this "Oblivion with guns" has more to offer than just "Oblivion with guns", it has a massive story(according the guide i received today, after you completed the game you got tons to do), also the SPECIAL is back! Pipboy is back, i cant help crying after i creating my character and seeing a whole new wasteland, which is far more detailed than the game I played 10 years ago. Maybe you would argue again, Bethesda is incapable of doing top-notch black humor like Black Isle, but the feels of exploring the wasteland is back, here I listed a few pros and cons
Pros
+ build of the whole wasteland
+ mission design
+ user interface
+ storytelling
+ Pipboy
+ tons of things to explore
Cons
- cant skip the VATS slow motion
- making choices wont affect the whole game too much, unlike Fallout1 &2, you have to pay for what you ve chosen
- no item description........(huge disappointment for some old fans maybe)
In general, I would recommend this game to those who love Oblivion
Update: the system is much more similar to Fallout 2 than to Oblivion, you have skills and perks, and at each leveling up you have 10-20 skill points(depends how much Intelligence you have) to distribute into a variety of skills, then you have perks like Lady Killer or Animal Friend; the system is deep and fun since you could be an agile and slick thief or a strong and stubborn warrior based on how you distribute your points and the initial attributes(S.P.E.C.I.A.L.)
Update 2: for those of you concerning CE, I got my CE from amazon on the releasing date, and this is the nicest CE I bought this year comparing to the Fable 2 CE and GTA 4 CE. The CE package has a neat looking lunch box, you could either put it somewhere as a decoration or use it as the storage for small stuff, that Pipboy figure is a fine-maded bubblehead; There is also an artbook of 100 pages featuring the concept art in Fallout3, and a DVD of making of the fallout 3; I think the CE is totally worth the price especially now amazon is offering the $10 giftcard.
Update 3: this game is not for you if you are looking for a first-person shooter like Far Cry 2 or Call of Duty!!!!! this is a role playing game

I purposely came into work late today so I can be the first to enter the store to pick up my copy of Fallout 3, (and I was first!). So now I'm at work trying to be productive, but all I can think about is getting home to play this game. Did I mention I read the manual three times today here at work? I should've faked a stomach ache at lunch so I can go home early to play. Well one thing for sure no overtime today for me, I'm out the door on time!
So why am I writing a review and haven't even played the game yet? Well after watching all the trailers, reading the reviews, and about the rewards this game has received, as well as being a fan of the Oblivion series, I'm just that d*mn excited! It's like you knew after playing the first Halo game, 2 & 3 were only going to get better. Well that is the feeling I've been getting since learning about this game.
But to be fair I will write what I thought about the game after a few hours of play tonight.
