A very enjoyable game with an intriguing storyline, a captivating environment, and engrossing gameplay.

GMR MagazineSquad-based, tactical strategy game set in the same universe as the classic Fallout rpg sets a new standard. [Feb 2003, p.94]
-
The huge array of skills and the depth of character development stay true to Fallout's predecessors while the play is a devious mix of precision and inspired tactics with a healthy dose of an army motto, "Check, check and check again!"
-
The game has plenty of swearing, and lots of gore. I like running around nearly dead--you leave a big trail of red wherever you go. Ok, so maybe it is over the top, but at least somebody still has some cajones out there.
-
A tour-de-force for fans of both the genre and series, especially if you're able to handle the gigantic scope of the missions.
-
The best game of its kind available today. Anything coming after it has a lot to live up to.

Daily RadarFor serious gamers who want a long squad-based game -- it's challenging, it has hours of gameplay, the Fallout universe is faithfully recreated and the production values are top-notch. It's not a game for everyone, though; the difficulty and squad-based strategy will turn some gamers off.
-
GamePowerCapturing the offbeat Fallout flavor, humor, and sense of violence perfectly, Tactics should prove to be a worthy sidestep for the series.
-
What I did not expect from this game, besides its well-developed RPG foundation, is the sheer size of it. Fallout Tactics covers 3 CDs, contains 20 missions, and for the average game will take over 60 hours to complete. That is amazingly long, especially for a strategy game.
-
Fallout: Tactics isn't just one of the better squad-combat games out there. It's also a decent action game, and has strong roleplaying aspects.
-
The only problem is that there's too much of it. After a certain point, enough is enough. But while your attention holds out, this game is incredibly fun and challenging.
-
It'll provide dozens of hours of entertainment to both fans of squad-based combat games and fans of the series and stands a good chance of turning one into the other.
-
It will push you to be a better gamer, but once complete it has little replay value.
-
It adds new depth and action to the Fallout universe, while staying true to the rich history already built for the world.
-
An excellent game, true to Fallout tradition in all respects. Unfortunately, one of those respects is a cavalcade of bugs and a product rushed to the market.
-
An innovative game with a long single player campaign filled with loads of detail and fun gameplay.
-
Contains all the elements of a classic but foolishly falls short in vital areas. The overall quality does remain however and can keep a gamer involved for weeks, though not without side effects.
-
Da GameboyzIf you're a fan of squad-based combat, this title is a must!
-
Contains all the best elements of its predecessors, and introduces novelties that will make it popular today.
-
The mission structure is thoughtful, the character skill/trait development is fantastic, and the tactical combat is challenging.
-
An immensely detailed if not immensely exciting game.
