Fallout finally 1st person
User Rating: 9 | Fallout 3 PS3
Well, I loved Fallout 2 in the 90s. If you have played, and liked (if you played them, chances are you loved them) the first few Fallout games, this game is more of the same with a great graphical boost. A lot of people are saying that this is like Oblivion. Not so, Oblivion is like Fallout 2. This is 1st person like Oblivion, but if you have played the old Fallout games, you will see that this is more classic Fallout than Oblivion, with the exception of the 1st person perspective. The only thing I did not like about this game is the inablility to target limbs in VATS while using melee attacks, like in the old Fallouts. It also seems tailored to console games in that it is kind of simplified. There really are a lot of quests, and probably you will be satisfied with what is offered. Fast travel does not ever lead to random encounters like the old PC games, and caravans appear not at random but in front of towns in certain spots. I guess I miss the random encounters while fast traveling, but I see how the developers wanted to make it a bit different this time to bank on the console generation. Buy it, read the gamespot review if you need more info, I just told you what they did not. Too bad no co-op though, the consoles scream for this kind of gaming nowadays, its way more fun. Maybe an online co op mode would extend the play life of it. Oh well, probably on Fallout 4, right? At least a Fallout console sequel could have more variety than the coming Bioshock 2. (How could they do a sequel to that? Repetitive....)
