Most of the details are nicely done from afar, but when you get up close to certain things they look rather blah, flat and pixilated. The game does allow you to see distances to get an idea of the scope and size of the world you’re in, I often found myself just looking around admiring the scenery. It can be very useful as it also acts like a pause as well so you can easily switch weapons without fear of getting killed or use medicine in the heat of a battle to heal yourself. When you play the game you’ve got a choice of first person or third person views, personally I played it all in first person as that’s what I like, and the third person view was just a bit awkward honestly.ĭuring gameplay you’ve got use of a Pip Boy, which is basically a computer strapped to your wrist to keep track of stats, objectives and items. I also don’t have an in game movie for you either as apparently Fallout 3 doesn’t play well with FRAPS, it was hard enough just to get all of the screen shots I’ve got for you, the game does not like other things running in the background at all.

So this is a downloaded game from Steam, no boxshots, but I’m sure you know what the box looks like by now. Along the away you’ll meet many people and things, many of which are just there to do you harm, but some are friendly and you’ll actually learn quite a bit from them about yourself, your father and how to survive in the wastelands. At that point in the game you decide to leave the safety and security of the vault to enter the wastelands in search of your father, where of course you’ll need to quickly adapt to the new harsh environment you’ve just decided to venture out into. It turns out that you actually live in a fall out shelter or Vault as they are called and the game continues on for quite a bit going through the stages of life until you’re a teenager, that’s when your father decides to leave you.


When you start the game, you start out at birth, pretty much literally just coming out into the world, and from there it’s all pretty much downhill. The controversy could be that Bethesda made such a great game all the others will be left behind? I can understand where some might say the whole post-apocalyptic thing is controversial, but I just don’t see it, it’s game only after all.įallout3 is set in the far future after the world has basically ended due to the usual things, greed, power, and nuclear war, eventually I’m sure it will end this way, so it might be a peek into our own futures… Seriously though Fallout3 is a magnificent game in visuals, actual gameplay and storyline, it’s a bloody, gory romp through the post-apocalyptic wastelands that will keep you coming back for more. Ok, so I’ve heard that Fallout3 is controversial but I can’t figure out why exactly though or what’s so controversial about this game.
