For 200 years, Vault 101, a fallout shelter, has served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants. Yet one morning, you awake to find that your father has left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father. Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) that combines the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda.

Summary: Another DRM-infected title that INSTALLS SONY'S ILLEGAL ROOTKIT ON YOUR MACHINE WITHOUT TELLING YOU
Comment: I'm sure it's a nice game and I've been waiting for it for long time...
... but unfortunately never gonna buy, thanks to the evil, illegal Sony rootkit it would install on my machine without ever telling me about it.
Bethesda's handling of this issue speaks volumes about sheer incompetency and stupidity at every corporate level: first they went out to give an inte4rview claming there's no DRM in it.
Next thing we got was the game with one of the WORST DRM INFECTION, SecuROM - are these Bethesda honchos are truly this stupid idiots?
They simply LIED about it, believing enough people will buy it before the word gets out or what?
Of course next step was silently admitting the SecuROM infection but claiming it's not DRM, it's a simple "CD-check" - which, as one would expect from these clueless people, is BS again: it is SecuROM, IT INSTALLS THINGS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY FOR A CD CHECK, SILENTLY, HIDDEN FROM YOU.
CD check existed a decade ago already, no need for DRM, especially no need for a fully illegal rootkit-based one like SecuROM infection.
Fallout 3 = DEFECTIVE BY DESIGN
Go to hell, Bethesda, join Sony and EA there - here's a middle finger for you: i|i

Comment: Its more interesting than oblivion but there arent as much places to explore but when u do find a place to explore its usually huge.
Customer Rating: Summary: Where did all the endings go?
Comment: So this is my second review ever on Amazon.Com. Here we go.
The good:
Very nice graphics! The world of the Wasteland really comes to life! Using the Pipboy as the interface to the game world made things seems very immersive, a very nice touch that I liked very much! I liked that touch very much!
The Bad:
The game is a tad buggy. I could only read the DVD on a single player out of the 4 I have. And that player is in a laptop that will not play the game. I had to make an image of the game, and then download the NoCD crack for it. Took me 3 days to get it to install on my game system. Then many times, at random, and very VERY suddenly, the game would freeze up. Usually I was left with no alternative but to hard boot my computer.
The Ugly:
I was under the impression this game had "over 200 endings!" Strange. I couldn't find more than 6. I played EVERY side quest there was. Then I went to complete the main quest. Which was ridiculously short (like around 5 hours). Just to find out that virtually NOTHING I did in ANY of the side quests changed the ending... AT ALL!
I'm thinking maybe they didn't mean 200 DIFFERENT endings... perhaps that's it... yeah.... Every time you play the game to the end... you get... an ending... Sure, it's the SAME ending. But play it 200 times and you'll get 200 endings. Genius!
Now some people wouldn't be bothered by this. But I played Fallout II and rate it as one of the all time best RPG's ever made. From the beginning of the game my hopes for Fallout III soared. I thought Bethesda had finally managed to do it right this time. I thought they had finally listened to the customers and made a truly great game.
Then they went and screwed it all up at the end. It feels like at some point somebody lost track of time. Like they spent months and months designing all the fantastic side quests, making all these plans for alternative endings then checked their watch and realized they had run out of time. "Crap! Well just end it right there and we'll ship what we have!" There isn't even a boss at the end you have to kill! You could get thru the end sequence at level one if you wanted to.
Needless to say my entire experience was ruined in one quick flash. If the endings had truly changed I wouldn't have minded the short main quest. Or the lack of a boss dude to pound on for awhile. Or the fact that you don't get to continue exploring once that main quest is finished. Or the crashes, lockups, inability to label any of your saved games so you can tell what you were doing when you saved at that point...
Oh well. It IS Bethesda after all. We need to remember to keep our standards low for them.
Customer Rating: Summary: Bethesda kept it alive
Comment: First off, amazon shipping it outstanding and I love their great service.
Now for the game.
Bethesda did a great job keeping the Fallout series going. All the nostalgics of Fallout; Puns, References, Humor, Gore, and Pip-boy are all here.
The sand box feel of the game is great, I have played for 20 hours and realized I still have not even finished the first story-quest of the main story line yet. So I got back on track and then started rolling with the story, and the story is great how you can choose what and how you will finish it.
I still have not finished the game yet, I get side-tracked and want to save and do things a different way - which some may say is bad. Do not confuse my way of playing with a flaw in the game, it is very easy to stay on course with the story I just love all the ways to do it.
So in closing, this game gets a 100/100 and I recommend it to all Fallout fans, Oblivion fans, and all other game fans.
Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty rad
Comment: Being a fan of the original series with sitting patient through the 10 years and the death of Van Buren, Fallout 3 was my highlight release of the year. Though it may be "Oblivion: this time with guns and a lot of brown" I still had a lot of fun. This game was not fallout to me but a different game that was still awesome. This game was also a little short compared to oblivion but when you think about it, the original fallout could be completed in about an hour.
