Hey all, I have bought fallout 3 for the xbox 360 online and its yet to arrive. I'm not really sure if im going to like it because im into hardcore fps and not much of an rpg fan but I wanted to buy this game because it seems quite unusual and pretty cool ;). Judging by reviews it seems to be a decent game, what type of gamers is it aimed at? Also what are the good and bad points for the game?

Thanks,

Sean

It's aimed at Fallout fans and FPS fans. FPS fans will have a hard time getting around in the game. Fallout fans will be a little disapointed with the RPing. Overall, the game is great, my opinion of course.

the game is absolutly amazing. You may not like the fact that you can't zoom w/ a lot of weapons like in reular FPS games, if you have played L4D it has that type of aim reticule (minus VATS). The only thing i don't like about this game is that you can't fast travel from inside building and so many places in quests seem like giant mazes, but it's all fun.

My friend let me borrow it and it's really fun. But those damn Super Mutants are a drag I swear.

thanks for replying guys! I cant wait for it to come through, the game looks HUGE :). I think the v.a.t.s system makes it more interesting as well watching the slow-mo kills lol well it'll be interesting to play.

Fallout 3 is my personal GOTY for the 360. The freedom is amazing, the story and quests are solid, VATS is awesome, and I think it blends the FPS and RPG genres very well. My only complaint is the occasional freezing that occurs (although it varies apparently for others) and the level cap. I understand why they put in a level cap, but it just felt like it was too low. The game got a tad less thrilling when there was no reason to gain experience anymore. I think they could have raised the level cap and just have given less skill points each time you level to even it out. But it seems they will fix that with the DLC.

Anyway, it's a wonderful game with only a couple minor flaws. Definitely a must purchase.
