This is a great single player game. If you liked Oblivion, you'll like Fallout3.
Fallout 3 is from the same developers as 'The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion'. If you liked Oblivion, you'll like Fallout 3. The only large difference is the setting. The Fallout 3 is set in America (Washington, D.C. or something). This is nearly 300 years into the future. But humanity hasn't done all too well in those few centuries. 200 years prior to where this game is set there was a massive Neuclear War, nearly everything was destroyed. All that remains are several scattered buildings and vaults, not to mention the countless mutated creatures due to the radiation of the bombs.
Graphics - The graphics in this game are phenomenal (somewhere between CoD4 and Assassins Creed).
Gameplay - When involved in fights you can basically pause time (you are paused to) and choose which enemy and which part of the enemy you would like to shoot. Next to each body part there is a percentage of how likely you are to shoot that body part on target. With a full AP bar (honestly I forget what AP stands for, but basicaly it limits how many shots you can fire in this mode. Over time the bar regenerates.) you can shoot approximately 3 times depending on your level/stats.
At first it can be diffiicult to survive so I would recommend lowering the difficulty a bit until you get all geared up.
GORE! - When you get a good powerful headshot, you blow their heads right off. It's almost poetic the way the blood from the neck squirts out.
All in all, this is a great game worthy of adding to your collection.
