Just when you think you've done everything there is to do in the wasteland, you find something new. The game is amazing.

User Rating: 9 | Fallout 3 PS3
I have played through this game 3 times. Twice on PS3 and once on PC.That being said, there's a few things that should be said upfront about Fallout 3 on the PS3.

PS3 owners will be sad about the lack of down loadable content (DLC), but don't let this stop you from playing this game. It's awesome. But, if you do own a 360 or a PC good enough to play it on maxed out video settings, you might want to consider getting it on either of those platforms just for the DLC.

Also, PC users can have hours of fun mod'ing and tweaking their games with user created content and the official G.E.C.K. game editor.

In terms of visuals, the graphics comparisons you see on GameSpot are a joke. I would have refunded my PS3 or my HDTV (40" Samsung 650 Series) if a game looked that bad. The game is amazing on all 3 platforms (which i have personally played on), and with a solid PC you can get the most out of it graphically. But this game looks amazing in HD on the PS3. Period.

Now that we've got that out of the way lets move onto the game review that will cover any platform, as gameplay outside of DLC is identical.

The game is a really neat mix of adventure, FPS, action and RPG. The stats, menus and dialogue have a very RPG based feel to it.

You name your character, decide how they look, give them personality and traits and even watch them grow up in the first hour of the game.

Once you get into the wastelands you are overwhelmed by the size and scope of the wasteland. The map is huge. There is lots to do. You can do it anyway you want.

My favourite part about the game is the ability to handle situations different ways and get different outcomes. Be a jerk or be a saint. You can play the game anyway you want.

The bonus to playing on a PS3 or 360 is that you get Trophies and Achievements. These are very helpful in suggesting things to do in the wasteland. It also gives you an idea of how much you can do! The first time i beat the game i had about 21% Trophies.

The V.A.T.S. aiming system I personally loved. Die Hard FPS fans may not like the pause in the action but I found it to be very very entertaining. I love slow motion graphic violence. And there is a lot of this in Fallout 3.

Every game should have limb dismemberment like Fallout 3. I hate when I shoot people with guns and they just fall down and go to sleep. I want to see limb and heads flying and splatting. You get this in Fallout 3.

The characters are fun and interesting. I enjoy listening to them and cared about them more then I expected to. My only beef with this part of the game is that talking to people looks unnatural. I think Fallout 3 could take some tips from Mass Effect. I love the flow of the dialogue in that game. It's much smoother and less...clunky looking.

There are a ton of weapons in the wasteland. Some rare, some common, some just plain awesome. You can even find parts to build your own guns (which I love).

There is so much to see and do in Fallout that I can't possibly review it all here. You will just have to check it out for yourself. This is one of those games that you say "Okay 45 min then time to sleep." 3 hours later you end up going to bed, the next day you are exhausted at work and you don't care. It was worth it and you'll probably do it again tonight.

I highly recommend this game to anyone with a platform to play it on. I don't care what system you buy it for, just do it. and do it now.
