Summary: Excellent Game
Comment: This game is fantastic, i got it the day it came out and have been playing it as much as i can since then. Bethesda did a fantastic job of continuing the Fallout series, it took some getting used to but it is a great game to play.

Summary: Vault Boy 4EVER
Comment: Just to let people know... all the comments on this version that are 1 star are about DRM and not the game. I wish Amazon would take those off... it is really not a reflection of the actual game and should be left to a software pirating forum and not here.
I'll get right down to it...
Positives...
-Huge world.
-Great story.
-Awesome side quests.
-Openness of gameplay.
Negatives...
-Oblivion w/ guns (same engine, and only negative if you didn't like Oblivion).
-My character is an ice skater (see above).
-Can't really play the game without a good sneak ability or a lot of stimpacks (only a couple of good skill combinations seem to be able to pass the game without too much trouble while all others will get creamed).
I am a big fan of the Fallout series (except BoS -not Tactics BoS-). This game does not disappoint and is worthy of being called Fallout 3. It has some design flaws but they are only slightly annoying; but don't get me wrong, these are not problems with features they are omissions of features (can't unload guns in your inventory, random encounters when fast traveling, inability to place notes on the map. etc). Hopefully, soon, they will release the toolkit that will allow mods (the only reason I bought the PC version -that and nostalgia-) and the fans can fix these omissions.
Oh yeah... my game didn't come with a serial number. But it wasn't required for install, weird? Am I the only one?
I LOVE MY VAULT BOY BOBBLE HEAD!

Summary: Short Main quest but Challenging
Comment: I totally lost a weekend with this game. I had just relocated my copies of the first 2 so it was a breeze to get out and start the questing. Found ammo tough to come by especially for the Scoped 44 that was a huge early find for me. Lots of lock ups on exit even with patch with data loss on 2 occaisions that really hurt (save often).
Nothing new really the story line not very satisfying and end game too limited but as a way to kill time it is deadly to spare hours. If you liked the first two you will probably like this.

Summary: The complainers are IDIOTS! (Fallout 3 Survival Edition)
Comment: After reading all the posts, I was chomping at the bit worring that my Survival Edition was not worth the $, and my clock was cheap crap. Well, I have one thing to say..I LOVE MY SURVIVAL EDITION!!!
The Pipboy3000 is absoutly the COOLIST!!! the giger counter in the upper left is actually made from a compass! (it works too!) the knob moves, the slider wheel moves, the buttons under the desplay light up red when I press them and the display is bright (just wish it was military time). The only thing I did differently was put good batteries in when I got it, not the ones that came w/ it. I cant stop looking at it!! WooHoo!!
The art of FO3 book is beautiful! The bobble head is FLAWLESS (his head keeps bobbing and moving for the longest time! extremely COOL!) The lunch box is perfect (Im gonna use it tommorow) and cant wait to see the "making of" video (its in my player and gonna watch it after I post this. I personally think it's worth every cent.
>>->Tnx Amazon and Bethesda! <-<<

Summary: Post Apocalyptic world from Bethesda's point of view done well.
Comment: Although it is not the classic Fallout or Fallout 2 of days passed :( it does bring back that classic and incredible feeling I got playing those games. The idea you can essentially be the person you want to in this post apocalyptic world.
The main quest seems kinda lame if one compares it to the originals, but if you wanna do that the aspect of this game (which is a good majority of it, I'd say 75%+ of it) the wandering around and exploring the world before you (WHICH is massive and absolutely rendered beautifully) is perfect.
Having been a fan of the series it was hard for me to not compare it to the first two in some way, shape, or form. However I did go into the game with an open mind realizing it has been a decade since Fallout 2 came out AND it was being developed by a new developer for the first time ever. With Black Isle Studios defunked now (RIP) and Bethesda taking over they scrapped Van Buren (the original working title) and redeveloped it from the ground up using the Oblivion Engine.
The game itself has some of that same feeling Oblivion would give one but with a post apocalyptic feeling... Essentially there is a main quest with tons of side quests you can do if you wish (also part of the original Fallout series). The graphics engine was ramped up for this one compared to Oblivion, it looks amazing even if you have to put it on Medium or less (I run it on a mix between High and Ultra). The gameplay is smooth and fights are great. VATS (Fallout's answer to slowing down time and choosing what part of your enemy you attack) is good but just lacks with the new FPS aspect of the game, it seems almost lame as you can CHARGE hit "v" go into VATS bam bam bam, dead... The NPCs are still lifeless and frozen in feeling and look, it drives me nuts and I hate it still as I did in Oblivion, but if you are looking for a great game which has made it as one of my top 10 RPGs of all time check out Fallout 3 you won't regret it.

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.
