Fitting of the Fallout legacy.
As far as story goes, the plot is very linear as far as the main quests go. This is nothing new for Fallout, or even PC RPGs. We all know that you can't control what you have to do, the choice is all aout how you do it. And Fallout 3 carries on the tradition from the first 2 in that you are able to shoot anyone you see reap the rewards/ penalties.
The game world is very fun and everything you could expect from a post-apocalyptic playground. I will say that I miss the Mad Max touch from the first 2, but once again that isn't much to complain about.
So now that I'm done complaining, I will say that this game is hands-down worth playing, especially if you loved the first 2 Fallout games.
