Out from the Vault into Atomic Fallout!
The makers of Oblivion came and made this masterpiece. All I will say is they are clever and smart. This dark and fighting pleasure game will make gamer wanting more of Fallout 3.
The game itself, could be argued as being similar to Oblivion however, there are some new ideas and creations in this game. For example; the aiming system is better and easier, helping to get a close and detailed shot on your enemy, without being noticed or in close battle. In addition, the setting and story is different, setting in an Atomic 1950s style, however the setting is in the future in 2277. In my opinion, I like the 1950s style and american style of that time, which is to be a 'happy family' and to 'not worry about anything', even if it's a nuclear bomb in their land. So poor luck to most people who actually get hit by the nuclear bomb in the first place.
You start by going from birth of your character, female or male depending on what you want and by having no mother due to your birth. Your raised by your dad and the vault goes crazy and is suspcious of you after your dad left the vault. So after dealing with the vault dwellers in your vault - vault 101, you decide to go and find your father. Once you step out the vault...you see how much you have missed in the events of the world...
The advantages to the game is the again the graphics are brilliant, I love the storyline, ordinary and creative. Also you don't have to be the hero of the day if you don't want to, you can be as evil or as good as you want to be. In addition, I feel that the game is addictive one once you get into the swing of the game. Furthermore, the detail in each character, monster and animals are great, including the dialogue choices which help to make you decide a certain way. Also, you can have not just 1st person view but 3rd person too, meaning you can see your range of weapons and armours if you wish to. In addition, there are a massive range of weapon: from a baseball bat to an alien blaster you find from a spaceship that has crashed landed. There is also a better signal of seeing where your enemies are coming from compared to Oblivion, through the use of your bar at the bottom left with the health bar and the maps is massive!!!
However there are a few disadvantages: well in every game, there are glitches, and fallout 3 has quite a few. For example; you can get easily stuck between a wall and fallen bookcase etc. Meaning that you can't get your character out and then you have to load the previous save from before. In addition, once you have arrived at a place you can be attacked straight away, which can surprise you and be a bit annoying sometimes.
Overall, this game is one of my favourite and is so addictive and easy to get into. In addition, if you gte stuck you can buy the fallout 3 guide to help out and be able to show you all the details. Furthermore, i love the style of which it is set in and with the mix of the 1950s, makes it a brilliant combination thanks to the game makers. I hope to see more creative and awesome creations by Bethesda Game Studios.
