Have you ever been played Oblivion and said to yourself, "If only I had some frag grenades I could solve this problem SOOO much easier!" If your answer to that Question is yes then play Fallout 3! Being an older gamer and having grown up during the cold war, with the spectre of nuclear armageddon hanging over my head, this game resonates with me much more so than Oblivion. Very immersive....great characters, great story and lots of dark humor that younger generation may not get. VATS system distinguishes the combat.....first person combat is just so-so, but you will find yourself using both depending on situation.

You will find yourself making choices with very real consequences that affect the progression of the story. I can definitely see myself playing through this several times with entirely different outcomes.

Of course be reminded the overall story, though extremely well done, is pure apocalyptic fantasy. As grim as the Fallout world is, in the true aftermath of a full scale nuclear war you would be playing as a cockroach. Surviving humans, if any, wouldn't look so well fed, even the tattered remains of cvilization reflected in the game would be absent, and downtown DC would be a glass table top. However that would be a lousy video game, so I'm happy to suspend my disbelief and enjoy the heck out of this game.

Even if you have never played any other RPG....play this one. It does so many things so well you just won't be able to stop playing.
