It’s 200 years since nuclear war destroyed the world, and you’re just about to be let out for the first time. Combining a dark sense of humour and the best elements of action and role-playing games, there’s no world left to save in Fallout 3. You search for your lost father and simply try to survive.
 Recruiting allies depends on your reputation and what you can offer them |  This Mad Max-style world is not a pretty one |  Mutants and crazed robots are common enemies |  The targeting system allows you to take your time when combatting attackers | In the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 3, weapons and clothing have to be custom built. You'll make rocket launchers out of leaf blowers and patch together armour. Help on your journey comes from your trusty dog and a single other computer controlled companion, whom you can recruit and dismiss whenever you like. You best choose wisely, though, because this world is not a friendly one. Key Features - You’re SPECIAL: Create a unique look for your character, and then train on key skills and define personality traits using the renowned SPECIAL statistics system.
- Pip pip: Fallout 3 is a complicated game, but the all-new PIPBoy 3000 personal computer makes it easy to track quests, examine maps, and receive clues on how to progress.
- VATS amazing: The combat system is called the Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System (VATS) and ensures you don’t need any arcade skills to play.
- Karma chameleon: You’re free to commit crimes and act however you want in the game, but people and factions will remember what you did and treat you accordingly.
- New beginning: Although this is a sequel set 36 years after the original games, it requires no prior knowledge of the previous titles, which are now over a decade old.

Fantastic Fun! November 15, 2008
I'LL DECIDE THAT (Bedford, UK)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game has been anticipated around the globe for quite some time, when first shown at E3 a few years ago, it immediately became a must have for every Rpg fan and hardcore gamer out there. Firstly its a great game, cinematic, fantastic, and also very funny. Its a game that doesn't take it self to seriously. Set 200 years after the "bombs dropped" in a post nuclear fallout era with a very authentic retro 50's feel, the lucky few have managed to purchase slots in underground vault's. Eventually everyone emerged into the "Capitol Wasteland" after the nuclear devastation is over. Except one vault kept its doors closed and its inhabitants inside where it's is "safe" that vault is Vault 101. You are taken few the early stages from coming out of your mothers womb to your first steps to your 10 birthday to the rebellious age of sixteen, and then the real fun starts at the age of nineteen, you awake to find that your farther (Liam Neeson) the one constant in your life (after your mother dies giving birth to you) has denied the overseers (supreme administrator of individual vaults) authority and left into the barren badlands of the D.C wastelands for reasons unknown... After being pursued by the overseers men you too leave and search outside for your Dad and for answers
1.) Make your own choices, talk your way out or just blast them!
2.) Explore a retro futuristic 50's world however you want.
3.) The epitome of non - linear game play.
4.) "Live another life in another world"
5.) Own a home, find friends, make enemy's where are your alliances?!
The special edition includes some damn fine swag!
....The game (of course)- freaking great!!!
.... A hard - back concept artbook - fine prints and interesting
.. A 39 minute 1080i blu - ray (ps3) "making of video" - Very good
.... A official 5 inch collectible vault - tec bobble head
- A great little novelty, featured in the game
.... All packed in a pretty Vault - tech customized lunchbox
A fine asset and it can be used as a lunchbox if you want to use it for such a thing. Also a nice novelty as it featured in the game for the player to create nice little weapons from scavenging for parts
A GREAT GAME IN A GREAT PACKAGE!!! You must play it to believe it!
If you love RPG's or shooters or if you've ever played any of the Elder scrolls ( "OBLIVION") this is a game for you. It's funny, its comical, its retro its a good sci-fi post apocalyptic escapist hardcore game.
BE WARNED THIS GAME MAY CAUSE HARDCORE GAMING AND MAY RESULT YOU MISSING WORK OR SCHOOL OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU DO BY PLAYING THIS GAME UNTILL 4:00 AM IN THE MORNING, IF HAVE THE BLISS OF MARRIAGE YOU COULD'NT HAVE TIMED AT A WORSE TIME.
Well worth the wait November 2, 2008

I've been a huge Fallout fan since the very first one came out over 10 years ago. I was nervous about Fallout 3 because i really don't like 1st person shooters but this triumph of a game is far better than i could have imagined. Fallout fans like me who have loved Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics will adore this game and people who are new to the games will be amazed too. It has everything and the collection edition lunchbox and extra are really cool.
Game of the Year!!!!

This is it ladys and gentlemen the game that everyone has been waiting for the third installment in the fallout series and by far is the best not only has Bethesda adapted the free role environment of oblivion but it has also adapted the third to first person camera view which is perfect as not only as you encounter intense FPS action but you also encounter the classical RPG style look at what your wearing type of game. Unlike most great games fallout 3 starts you off as a baby entering vault 101 from your mothers womb who unfortunately you never meet as she dies at childbirth. Bethesda then cleverly take you through your first baby steps and your ten birthday and finally your 19 birthday and then the real fun starts. I wont spoil anymore of the game to you and so your just gonna have to buy it just to realise how nothing short of epic this game really is.
