Fallout- what an incredible gaming experience!

User Rating: 9.4 | Fallout PC
Fallout is a different kind of video game. Fallout is not amazing because of the technology used, nor is it because of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. combat system- Fallout is amazing because it gives you the opportunity to think things out for yourself. If something makes sense, you can do it. You can solve every problem via a great variety of methods. This game should appeal to anyone, because it shows you what you are looking for, no matter what that happens to be. Just want some good combat? You've come to the right place- you can blow through everybody that crosses your path. You don't really need anybody's help- just kill everything that moves and you'll probably finish the game. Want to admire the game's great dialogue? You don't need to kill a single thing in this entire game. Every problem can be solved peacefully if you are a skilled enough speaker. Above all else, Fallout makes you think. If someone were to ask me to give them an example of gaming as an art form, I would show them Fallout. Not only will you think about solutions to problems, but also about the interesting cast of characters that you meet. Among these is the Master, one of the most complicated and fascinating end bosses of all time. After this game is over for weeks, you may still be thinking about the chilling social commentary it represents. Fallout is amazing.
