Firstly I will point out that the current release of this game has your character stop levelling at level 20. Keep this in mind on your first playthrough to help you focus your skill and perk choices. Fallout3 continues to be enjoyable and rewarding after your character stops levelling due to the joy of exploring a variety of radiation scorched environments, enemies, and characters. I'm about to begin the game again before having finished it so i can access all the safes and computer terminals that are currently unaccessable due to my skill choices being capped at level 20. (this fact is crucial for players who want to maximize their first playthrough)
Now on to the general review-
Graphics- 10
PC and X-box360 have minor graphical superiority with this game but It's still beautiful and atmospheric on PS3.
Gameplay- 9
lag time when pulling out your weapon as in game engine sibling Oblivion breaks the flow of battle. otherwise great.
Sound-10
Good voice acting, sound design and score set a gritty mood.
Value-10
High replay value due to a huge map and variety of gameplay choices
