Yet another must get RPG from Bethesda Softworks.

User Rating: 9 | Fallout 3 X360


So i got Fallout 3 a couple of days ago because the makers of Oblivion made this game so i thought that it would be incredible, my thoughts, are great. I think that Bethesda really outdone themselves again.

Story- Well right now ive not played much of the game but ive got an idea whats going on. Basically you were born in a place called "vault 101" you can chose what gender you are and how you look. You start as a baby, then grow up to a 10 year old at your birthday party. After that you then turn 16 and some cockroach things break into vault 101 and these people have taken your father away or something like that. You then escape the vault and then your free to explore. After you get out of the vault its were the game really begins. This is all ive got up to right now and i have done a few quests.

Gameplay-(9.6) You will probably tell that the makers from Oblivion made this game because its basically an updated version of Oblivion with a different setting. The role playing elements are now a lot more in depth like when your talking to someone there's a lot more options making it more fun. As for combat well you can now use guns, which is pretty nice. Your able to use this slow motion thing when the game alows you to get head shots or whatever part of the body you want to shoot easier. Its really good.

Graphics-(9.2) From what ive seen, Fallout 3 looks great. The environment inside the vault looks pretty boring but when you get outside the game looks really good. It really gives you that feel like your in a deserted waste land, that's been abandoned for years.

Sound-(8.2) Voice acting is solid and there isn't much audio. So if your expecting a lot of music like Oblivion then there really isn't. The only problem with the sound are the sound effects the guns sound pretty crap, they sound like toys.

I think that anyone who liked Oblivion should defiantly like Fallout 3. I think that its a solid purchase for every RPG fan and i think that it is one of the xbox 360's best games yet.
