Fallout 3 was released on October 28th, 2008 and attracted thousands of new fans pre-launch. There were some true fans that had played previous versions of the game, but many new gamers discovered it when Fallout 3 launched and not only did they become fans as well, but they became addicts to the world of Fallout!

To start, let’s keep the trend going and start with the graphics provided in Fallout 3. Overall, the graphics are very well done, especially for a sandbox game. This game has a HUGE map and you can tell that, for the most part, there was a lot of time, effort, and thought put into the creation and texturization of the environment for Fallout 3. Granted, there are some textures that just look like someone slapped them on there a few seconds before they finalized the game, but it’s nothing to get uptight about.
Next up, we have the gameplay, controls, and storyline. The gameplay is smooth and the menus are well thought out. I really have nothing to complain about as far as gameplay or controls go. The controls are easy to pick up and the only thing I found somewhat annoying was the FPS aspect was poor. Throughout, I would say, at least 90% of the game I didn’t aim for myself at all, I just used the auto lock feature, which after a while and after you’ve leveled up to a decent level, it becomes almost boring to be honest. The storyline was all well and good except for the ending. I really really did not like the ending at all and wish I would have known not to go into that last room so I didn’t lose all that crazy armor I looted in that last mission. Other than that though, I think the rest was well done and they have more than enough missions to keep you busy for days after you’ve beat the main missions.
Trophywise, Fallout 3 has probably the most trophies I’ve seen in any game. I completed Fallout 3 with only 16% of the trophies and I was actually looking to complete as many side missions as I could find. Now, if that doesn’t give you an idea of how much Fallout 3 has to offer, then you just need to pick it up and see for yourself. At this point, I don’t see any reason why not to spend $20.00 on this game even just for the trophies or even to take up some space on your shelf until you have some free time.
Overall, besides the ending which I really did not like, everything else about this game is a positive aspect and I really had a lot of fun playing through this game and it was the best $20.00 I’ve spent in a long time. The only other thing I found somewhat disappointing is that it doesn’t have any multiplayer, but you really can’t complain about this due to the fact that Fallout 3 has so many other things to offer instead, that it will keep you occupied for days on end if you’re trying to complete all the main and side missions.
