    It's an FPS game with an appealing atmosphere, but it feels somewhat lacking in certain aspects.

    Es una obra maestra. Uno de los mejores RPG jamás creados. Los escenarios, los personajes, las oportunidades, las opciones, todo. Bethesda demostró con creces que son los maestros del RPG occidental.

    Masterpiece. I play this game every two or three years; i envy those of you whom have never played it, since you can experience this atmosphere for the first time.

    Best part of the series and one of the best RPGs ever. Just satisfying to listen to the great songs in the in-game radio and enjoy the apocalypse. Overall rating: 9.3.

    Fallout 3 wird selbst nach mehreren dutzenden Stunden nicht langweilig Die spielwelt ist offen und vollgepackt mit interessanten Sachen Die Dialoge mit den npc's sind angenehm und fesselnd. Für mich der beste Fallout teil .

Aún así, está lejos de ser perfecto, sobre todo a nivel gráfico. Expand

    Amazing game growing up for me. It was the first time i could find guns enjoyable in a RPG. The shooting wasnt great but you worked with it.

    The third best Fallout of all, after Las Vegas and Fallout 4. With rich dialogues and captivating story, where decisions have to be careful because it has consequences at the end of the game

    нет русского языка в цифровом магазине xbox. Причем есть оффициальная русская версия с полной локализацией на пк. Игре уже 14 лет, 14 лет жалуемся а язык так и не соизволили добавить.

    Another Bethesda game with no soul. Cleared all story and DLCs, love only radio in this game and aesthetics

    Hopefully this gets remastered someday so I can dive back into the gritty dark world of post-apocalyptic DC.

    not the goat fallout game but its up there. revolutionized open world rpgs and still holds up to this day.
    the real great stories i think are in the side quest. the main quest isnt as good as nv. but still one of my all time fav games.

    This game has a cool atmosphere and theme but that's all I really like about it. It's main story is very weak and way too short, although the dlc's do make up for this. The characters are somewhat good but mostly forgettable, and like all Bethesda games its very bug persistent. The dlc's do somewhat make this game better, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted too unfortunately.

    There are features that come to mind when it comes to Fallout. Nothing less, no more. The dark theme is a bit annoying, but of course it would be absurd to be chirping after nuclear. However, they could not achieve that balance. I think it's better to play NV and 4 instead. But maybe you can really like the story. Then this game would be very good.

  1. Fallout 3 is an experience in itself, and while it may not offer as much replay value as Oblivion, it’s so much more then an “Oblivion with guns”.
  2. 90
    From the hollow wind blowing down through subway tunnels, to the radioactive dust clouds swirling throughout the wasteland, up to the buzzards circling the encampment where the bodies of 30 slave traders lie; Fallout 3 is as much a game as it is a training sim for the coming apocalypse.
  3. In fact, Fallout 3 is leaner and meaner than Bethesda's previous efforts, less expansive but more intense, while still offering immense replay value and quite a few thrills along the way.
