The ability to roam around in the Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland doing whatever you want drives me in so I can't get out.
The Chinese invaded, the bombs dropped and Washington DC is just short of extinction. Now you see the basics of this game are finding your dad and purifying the water in DC. Straight-forward, but still very twisty at some points. It can really be a bore when you are trying to reach your destinations on foot. Story: 9/10.
The character models are greatly detailed, plus the speech choices with each one of them is highly amusing. Some people are sane, while others are insane. All great personalities though, and Ghoul racism. Characters: 9.5/10.
R&B can really hit the spot in this game. Music from the 30's? I personally love the Blues, which made this game even more interesting. One of the first actual story missions include finding Three Dog, the host of Galaxy News Radio. He plays all the Blues. Music: 9/10.
Like I mentioned before, the freedom in this game is exhilarating. You basically get to live in the real DC. Well.. after it has been nuked. At first the free roam can be a bit sketchy. You won't know where to go, to look, or to run. Still, when you get used to the game it puts aside those facts. Free Roam: 10/10.
The graphics in this game are just phenomenal. Most people would think I am over-exaggerating, but I am most certainly not. The details of every character, weapon, and scenery object just make my jaw drop. Graphics: 9.5/10.
The Karmic settings in this game are just so enjoying. The different titles for your character when you level up into a certain Karmic adjective can be quite humorous. Your choices are Good, Evil and Neutral. The fact that your Karma changes the way things happen in your characters life make it easy to start a new game. Replay Value: 9/10.
Overall Mean Score: 9.3. Rounded to 9.5. Fallout 3 will forever be an extravagant RPG experience.
