Savetehaloz reviews Fallout 3, the latest RPG from Bethesda. If you love guns and Oblivion you'll love Fallout 3.

User Rating: 9 | Fallout 3 PC

The Fallout Series of games was originally started by Black Isle. Originally called Van Buren, Fallout was purchased by Bethesda and was developed in the game we all love today. Fallout 3 is Oblivion; with guns. However the action is cut short by the VATS system, which autoaims for you. VATS is a breath of fresh air (ironic, since Fallout 3 takes place in an apocalyptic future).
Even though Fallout 3 is a solid RPG, it stil has its faults. Each weapon loses "health" and potency every time you use it. This is also present in Oblivion, except the weapons in Fallout lose their health way to quickly. After clearing out a building (the new dungeons) you will have to repair or find another gun of its type to fix it. This can get annoying and is an attempt to be realistic. (If this was the case, the militants in Gaza would be changing Ak47s every half hour). The characters in Fallout 3 are more realistic and are like real people, considering there are fewer NPCs then in Oblivion. The game may be hard to some players since enemies do not change stats according to your level, many players who venture out into the D.C waste, will soon become wasted.
All in all, Fallout 3 is a great and solid RPG that you must play. Even though it has learned many of the mistakes made by its older brother TES Oblivion, Oblivion still reigns king of RPGs on the Xbox.
