User Rating: 9.8 | Fallout 2 PC
By KingLim | Review Date:
One of the best RPG games in the gaming history. Period. No other game at that time has achieved its sophistication in story plot, character development and even its uncanny humour. A very satisfying retro post-apocalyptic script coupled with an innovatively challenging turn-based combat system and character leveling options. This is one of the most successful RPG systems that puts you in total control of the development of your main character and that every decision you make affects obvious performance change of your character in the game.

Also, this is a game you can have sick fun watching your enemies die. The enemies have quite a number of death animations according to the weaponry you master, resulting in a queer sense of realism from the graphically simple pixel art form. One other major plus side of this game is the strange encounters you get to chance upon when travelling in the world map. Sometimes they are parodies of fantasy films or just really weird yet interesting events. It is so out of the box (like a 4th wall thing) which makes me really impressed with the idea and makes me an instant fan of this game even till today. No other game still comes close. For all fantasy/sci-fi RPG fans out there, you have to try this classic.

(Though it has a few notorious bugs, the winXP version will have it patched already, if not, it's easily downloaded in this website.)
