For 200 years, Vault 101, a fallout shelter, has served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants. Yet one morning, you awake to find that your father has 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. Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) that combines 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.
Mind-Blowing Artificial Intelligence - Facial expressions, gestures, unique dialog, and lifelike behavior are brought together with stunning results Modern super-deluxe HD graphics

Summary: great role playing game
Comment: I watched my 18 year old son play this game and didn't care for the drab colors and depressing topic. Then I started my own game. It is a great game. I have never been disappointed with bethesdas games. I think it will take me a year of playing to do it all. It has lot and lots of side stories. The bad guys I shoot bleed. I don't like having people bleed when I shoot them. In some games you can change that setting. I don't think you can in this game. but it isn't too gross. There is more swearing than I want to hear. But since I can turn off the sound, I don't have to hear it. This game is intended for older kids, like 18 or older. Wouldn't it be nice if they had a Teen version of the game. I would enjoy that more. My sons would be just as happy with it.

Summary: Visually amazing, ok on everything else.
Comment: I've been a hardcore gamer for over 15 years now and I was really looking forward to this game. I've recently spent about 12 hours playing and I can honestly say I'm done with it. I just don't care to keep going through the story or for that matter any of the side quests. I was captivated by the visual beauty of the game, but after that wore off I started to get more disappointed in the game. My biggest problem with the game is the lack of customization. I was expecting you to be able to modify your weapons, armor, or just get all kinds of useful killing tools. In the 12 hours I put in I found maybe a dozen different weapons and then it stopped. None of them are special, and after awhile you just end up finding the same guns over and over again. Plus you can't really sell the guns because you have to use them to repair the guns your already using. I never felt like one gun was better at something then another gun was. If you put points into small arms then find the most powerful gun and go to town. The only small difference I found was obvious, the shotgun is slightly better close up then the chinese assult rifle. I also liked and disliked the menu interface. I enjoyed the fact that it is integrated into the game so you don't feel so detached, however I hate the fact that you can't see what your armor looks like when you equip it. You where able to do this in Oblivion so why take it out? Well I guess it's not that big of a deal since over the course of 12 hours I found only a handful of different armor types.
I understand that the overall game is huge which just makes the next thing I'm about to say very disappointing. For such a large game the lack of variety amongst enemies is truly sad. You encounter about 3 or 4 different ghouls, some dogs, a lot of raiders, oh and the lovely super mutants where there are only 4 different kinds, one of which is more of a boss character (the behemoth). I've literary listed about half of the enemies in the game, compare this to say other RPGs with pages of enemies and you see the disappointment. The only other bad thing I have to say which may be due to the fact that I enjoy Japanese RPGs is the music. I really wish there was some steam punk music, or anything to make you feel more in the world. This game is supposed to be a AAA title, and although for some it may be I was disappointed. The lack of enemies, and most of all customization really brought the game down. In fact Bioshock has way more customization and it isn't even considered an RPG! I would rent this game just to see how beautiful it is, and who knows it may be the kind of game you enjoy. For me I needed a better more involved story and more to do then walk around looking for my father.

Summary: All in all
Comment: I myself have never played the first fallout games but im no stranger to the story. If i were to rate the realation between 3 and 1,2 other than the titles theres not a whole lot , But dont let that discourage you if i were to explain that in word it would be [evolution] and in a positive manner. For those new to fallout more so than me its a great game and just because its an open world RPG does not make it oblivion with guns.
P.S. The humor is crude but in an edge fun way.
