    One of the best games of all time in my opinion, When i was young and this game came out, it was huge. I feel like it opened up the door for games of this nature, Would highly recommend, even in 2022.

    I'd have given it a 10 just for a single radio soundtrack, but there's so much more that deserves a 10 in this game. Bethesda knew their job back in the day.

    fallout 3 es uno de los pocos juegos chingones, eso es lo que lo hace especial, su historia es única, y su jugabilidad también lo es, hoy en día, estás joyas de Bethesda, se siguen jugando, como el primer día que salió, y siempre será así, y hoy en día no encuentras juegos así, me encanta fallout 3

    Este juego fue para mí un gran avance de la saga fallout gráficamente y jugabilidad muy buena y cómoda lo que más me gustó de este juego fue el mapa y el modo historia me pareció muy interesante en pleno 2022 lo recomiendo jugarlo si nunca jugaste un fallout este es muy bueno para empezar

    Awesome open world, enjoyable side quests and dlcs, great main questline and the best post apocalyptic atmosphere.

    Perfect game, sure it may be like oblivion and the engine but it is really good.. You start off as a baby, child, then adult, you even get to take a test which is really realistic. It has that nice bioshock feeling aswel for some reason. It feels sort of old style.
    Anyway, alot of quests to do.. Gets exciting by the minute, congratulations Bethesda softworks for making a perfect game.

    I played and completed this game (which took ages btw ^^) and not because of bugs, or anything, but because its a long game! I had very VERY rare crashes, and was kept laughing right the way though by crazy dialoge. This is a great game and amazing value for money time wise. In short, This game is teh winz.    … Expand

    This is one of the best pc games i have played in a while.Just a great game all together.I would have gave this game a 10 but there are two things i dont like about this game. 1.How you have to go through all these metro tunnels to get to places and 2. The ending.I was very disapointed with the ending , i thought you could keep playing and it just roll sthe cutscene and goes back to the main menu.

    An average FPS with some elements of RPG, aimed for teen audience mainly (despite its rating). Horrible animation, sterile dialogues. In a nutshell, it's the game for everybody (mostly for casual players, that is accessible even for the last retard, as Bethesda considers it). And It's hard not to mention the terrible "right-from-the-consoles" PC version of the game.

    cons: suffers a bit from "consolitis" - meaning things like only 3-4 dialog options at a time from limited console screen space, VATS makes it almost too simple in combat sometimes, canned responses from "non-major" characters, sub-par graphics in some areas from being ported from a console with limited texture memory (although better than oblivion)    … Expand

    Well I would give it an 8 instead of a 10 mainly because it is so buggy right now. They really should have beta tested more. Other than that I absolutely love the game.

    After about an hour of playing I found myself thinking "Oh no... Oblivion again... I've already played that game." Now, after around 20 hours of play I cannot wait to get home from work to jump back into this detailed, immersive and quite addictive game. Take the detractors with a grain of salt. This game is great!

    Heavy on the Sherlock Holmes puzzle story lines, which is most of the time quite entertaining.

    Zoh my God. So this game is totally bad for many reasons. First it uses teh engine that Oblivion was built on. This is the same reason I hate all Quake games (they were built with Doom engines) and Call of Duty: WOW (built with COD 4 engine). Also, anything built with the Source engine except for Half-Life 2 (this means TF2, Left for Dead, CS: Source, Etc.). Next, graphics, my PC is oldZoh my God.

Next, graphics, my PC is old and can't run it <-- obviously a shortcoming of the game. Bugs, I played through the entire game; I put about 30 hours into it. THE GAME CRASHED 5 TIMES. Also, there was one time where a quest-necessary character got stuck on an object. I was left no choice but to quick-load!!!! These glitches made it nigh on unplayable. Voice acting... all I need to say, done by people. This means sometimes it is not Oscar worthy acting... terrible shortcoming. Also, the music, its like they took it straight from the 1940's or something. You think they could have gotten something more modern... like Soulja Boi.

    ...The long and short of it is, this game is amazing. If you liked Oblivion or Morrowind (or any RPG for that matter), you will absolutely love this game. I only wish it were longer...    … Expand

    the only reason im giving in a 9 points is because the PC version tends to crash ervery once in a while. No probleme found for the X360 nor the PS3 ... Exelent idea to build an FPS/RPG ... The VATS are smooth, Perks are awsome ... Skill are perfect ! ans the mix between skill and SPECIAL stats are totaly freakin good ! ... Thanks to Bethesda Softworks for publishing a good game like this one :P

    Fallout 3 is a stunning sequel to the original series. Bethesda has managed to remain faithful to the original Fallout 1 & 2 but have released a new fully realised 3D world in Fallout 3. I am most impressed by the adult storyline. This gritty post holocaust world is well worth exploring. Bravo Bethesda!

    Minor niggles aside, Fallout 3 is almost entirely spectacular. Everything from the graphics, to the sound, to the plot is first-rate. The VATS system worlds like a charm, and it’s so easy to get the hang of, you’ll be cracking skulls like there’s no tomorrow. [Dec 2008, p.55]

    A vast and open world of unimaginable possibilities opens in front of you in Fallout 3. Great story, flawless combat system, and the option to choose your own way makes it a hot candidate for game of the year. [Nov 2008]

    Fallout 3 is one of this year's best games. It's an unforgettable journey that lives up to the series. You are an ex-vault 101 inhabitant, and you discover a whole new world, full of zombies, mutants, raiders, aliens and all kinds of creatures. Welcome to this post-apocaliptic reality, where you are going to spend hundreds of hours.
