Closing Comments
It's rare that a game can hit the mark in so many different and often conflicting areas. Fallout 3 offers freedom without sacrificing a focused story. It delivers fantastic combat without forgoing a deep role-playing system. The characters you meet are engaging and oftentimes hilarious without feeling out of place in this harsh world. The game has a few flaws -- most of them technical -- but it's a case where the whole is greater than the sum. It's a fantastic game with incredible atmosphere that offers fun in so many different ways that you're almost sure to get hooked. This is one of the best games you'll play this year.

Another Take
from Colin Moriarty
When a title like Fallout 3 comes along, it reminds you of just how good videogames can be. Fallout 3 has undoubtedly delivered the best gaming experience so far this year, and the epic wait since Bethesda announced it took the reins four years ago has proven to be well worth it. The dystopia you find yourself dropped into immediately takes hold as you first explore your initial environs in Vault 101, only to thereafter be catapulted into the realities of post-nuclear existence in the Capital Wasteland. And it’s only then, when you experience the true size and scope of Fallout 3, that your appreciation for the game will go from cautiously measured to completely unfettered.
Fallout 3 is a top notch shooter-RPG that fails to disappoint in any substantial way. There are minor problems with the game – issues such as clipping, the occasional framerate chug, and some questionable animation (especially in third-person view) – but nothing that takes away from the overarching enjoyment you should derive from even a few hours of gameplay. The action is fluid, the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system, when combined with skills and perks, makes developing your character a fun exercise in customization, and the combat system, especially with V.A.T.S., is masterfully executed.

But to me, Fallout 3 is all about story and interaction. If you’re into post-apocalyptic literature, film, or games, especially those taking place in the United States, then Fallout 3 was made for you. Combine the unusual amount of realism found in every corner of the game with the endless conversation permutations with just about everyone you meet, and you have yourself one of the most truly interactive experiences of the generation. Fallout 3 comes heavily recommended – it’s an experience that shouldn’t be missed. Just remember, life in the Capital Wasteland is rough. The beauty of the game is in the choices you make in order to survive.

9.5 Presentation
The atmosphere and style are everything you could ask for and more. A few bugs and camera issues keep things from perfection.

The landscapes are wonderful. The character models and animations could be a lot better.
9.5 Sound
Excellent voice acting and a soundtrack that completely fits the game's mood. The sound effects aren't bad either.
10 Gameplay
A rare combination of excellent combat and deep role-playing.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
A more focused experience than much of what Bethesda has created in the past that begs to be played for hours and hours. This is one game you won't soon forget.
