I'd say if you enjoyed Oblivion it would be worth a shot. I personally am waiting for the GOTY edition to drop to around $30.

It is an ok game, not nearly as good as the first 2. Though in the end if you enjoyed Oblivion you will more than likely like this game.

I hated the bloody thing, but if you like Oblivion, you'll probably enjoy it.

Great game. I recommend it, although Fallout: New Vegas is due out later this year if you don't mind waiting.

This is what I would say. According to the fans, the first two are better; All in all, its a good game though and will keep you rather busy for a long time to come. Then again like the user above me said, the new one is well on its way so I personally just say wait it out unless F3 is $20 dollars by now.

See, that's my problem with "the fans." "The fans" tell me that Daggerfall and Morrowind are "better" but I still enjoy playing Oblivion the most. It is definitely a different game from the first two (more of a action-adventure RPG-lite).

There's nothing to think about, it's without a doubt one of the best games ever made and you will lose months of your life to it.

I agree foxhound.... The "fans" just try and prove their gaming "cred" by not giving props to the modern iteration of Fallout. Guess what? Fallout 3 is better than the first two in almost every way and yes Ive played all three....

It's a great game. Be prepared though, if you find yourself liking it, you probably won't be playing much of anything else. It tends to suck you in for long periods of time. Make sure you buy the GOTY edition.

Hell yes. Buy it now. Be warned: it takes a lot of your game time. And it's pretty addicting as well. And like others said, buy the GOTY edition. Be prepared to face a few bugs here and there, but for the most part, it's an excellent game. One of the best I've played this gen.

Really? :lol: Anyway, I didn't like it... too open and boring. But then again I played it on the Xbox 360, and I didn't like Oblivion on the Xbox 360, but enjoyed it on the PC, so maybe its the same thing for this game.

One of the best RPG's this gen. I have beat it on both consoles and got my platinum on the PS3 version, so yeah, buy it. Make sure if you buy it to get the GOTY version, it comes with all the DLC which adds alot of good content.

No I know, trust me. I have played a little of the second one, not the first unfortunately, and I enjoy both for what they are.

And since navyguy informed me about that 17 buck deal, I'd go for it and get it.

Rules No. 1: Do not get bloody mess. It ruins the entire game. It gets annoying after a while whenever you shoot a guy in the foot and his head explodes.

I would say this (get the GOTY edition), but I think 60 bucks is worth it. The four added expansions, especially Point Look out and Broken steel, easily make it worth it.

fallout 3 is a great game, but in no way does it match up to the first 2 in my opinion.

You know, I kinda agree. I mean, I played the first two years and years ago, and they were awesome, but honestly, the only thing that makes people say they are better than Fallout 3 is nostalgia.
