The Maneater.<blockquote>Too few health items, floaty character animations, stiff and boring non-playable characters - these are all things that "Fallout 3," and "Oblivion," for that matter, do wrong. With the amount of hype this game got, it's a shame it came out so bland. In a year filled with amazing new releases, "Fallout 3" is definitely something to drop.</blockquote>CTV Tech Life.<blockquote>Of course some of the monsters are friends, including a race of radioactive unfortunates who fight for acceptance within society and a wide range of altered humans and misfits. Once such character is “Hawkes”, who becomes your follower later in the game, travelling with you and helping out in battle. His dialogue is the best written in the game and he stands out as one of the best video game characters I’ve encountered in years.</blockquote>www.thejtac.com/media/storage/paper1248/news/2008/11/13/Entertainment/fallout.3.Is.Futuristic.Hit-3543170.shtml]The J-Tac.[/url]<blockquote>The visuals are somewhat below average. The environments and landscapes are all different and interesting, but not as beautiful as most new games that are being released. The voice acting, however, is superb. Almost every character you meet has a different voice and sounds great.</blockquote>CVGames.<blockquote>Although you don’t have the precision in the world of Fallout 3 that you may find in these other titles, the game is tailored around the VATS system to compliment the real time battles. Despite this minor limitation, the gameplay is fun and engaging enough to keep any fan of the genre completely content. This shows just how far the gameplay has progressed.</blockquote>Unigamesity, 5/5.<blockquote>Fallout 3 is a game that proves that changing a successful receipt will not always result in an incredible miss. Bethesda took the chance of bringing us a different Fallout experience and they managed to reach perfection in today’s terms. It’s hard to write a conclusion for this review without sounding like a hater or, on the contrary, too permissive. It’s hard to write a simple conclusion when Fallout 3 is such a complex and wonderful game, a title so close to perfection, to that absolute level of coolness that no words could describe its greatness.
So just have this in mind: I hated Bethesda when I first heard that they’re going to bring a different Fallout 3, but now I can say that their game deserves to be placed on the shrine I was talking in the beginning, right above the first two games in the series. Fallout 3 is evolution. Beautiful evolution.</blockquote>PopMatters.<blockquote>The story branches out in more directions than I’ve ever seen in a video game, so you’ll need to play through many times to see what happens when you make different choices at pivotal plot points. As in the “Elder Scrolls” games before it, you could spend hundreds of hours playing “Fallout 3” and still find something new in a far corner of a vast and mysterious world.</blockquote>Coventry Telegraph, 5/5.<blockquote>SIMPLY put, Fallout 3 is one of the finest games ever created and shows us what the video game medium is capable of.
It has been produced by Bethesda, the developer responsible for the excellent Elder Scrolls series, which acquired the licence of the cult Fallout series and have combined the best of both games.</blockquote>Way of the Geek, 9/10 (or 5/10 with console issues).<blockquote>Fallout 3, despite the little (and huge) issues, is an immersive and fun to play game. It’s the only game where I’ve stayed up until seven in the morning playing, having lost track of time just exploring the Capital Wasteland. There is so much to do, so much to see, and so much to discover in Fallout 3. As I stated before, I spent about seventy hours in the game before attempting the final mission, and there was still a lot of locations I didn’t explore. It’s a lot of game for your money, but you may want to hold on to your cash until Bethesda fixes the bugs that makes the ability to even finish the game a gamble.</blockquote>
