Not the best In series but certanly an extraordinary game.
The skills and character developement are identical the the ones in Fallout 2. This goes for map navigation, game play and game dinamivs. Some improvements are made to graphoical engine but it is still a game made in 2001. The missions are complex an various. Afcourse there are also hidden items or zones or secopndary quests to be done in each visited zone. Random encounters are still very fun. New items, guns, armours, ammo and of coure the vehicules (3 that you can take with you and another one in one mission). The gameplay is great , because you can have six memebers in a squad and they can have different skill you can make this game very tactic (the tutorial only shows a glimps of what you can really do). There are multiple endigs to follow the Fallout tradition. Sound and speach could do better (than again it was made in 2001 - sry 4 repeating but it is an old game). I also want to point that i have heard of no other game to resemple Fallout Tactics. Because of various skill, secondary missions and tactics posibility thje game can be replayed something you don't get at this new games anymore and it also takes more that n 10 hours to finish (again something you rarely get this days).
A great game,revolutionary at it's time. It also influenced some of the games that came after and still does. Hope to see more of them these days . (i finished it 3 times :) ).
