Oblivion is an awesome game. I love it. It made me feel like working for Bethesda in the future. I anticipate Fallout 3 since last year. I was excited. I even put my gamespot icon as the power armor cut from the box art.

This is the first game that I bought the day it came out. However, it didnt come out to be what i expected. I was sad. I traded in after I finally finished it.

Many people seem to like Fallout 3 very much. The votes even exceeded GTA4. Its not surprising that it may be because there are a lot of fans of Fallout series and Elder Scrolls series. But for the ones who actually finished this game, like me, does it really worth the votes? Is it really that great? Could it be a lot better actually?

I wrote a review right after I finished Fallout 3. If you are still interested, please read.

Now that you have read my review, hopefully. Whats your opinion? Do you agree? Or do you have other thoughts. Please share.

I liked that review you wrote, and I do agree with you on many of your points. You see I loved Fallout 3 compared to Oblivion at first, but since I beat it (main quest and every single side quest) I just don't feel the need to play it anymore. All I do now is go to my house in Megaton and shoot the fatman straight up and watch the mini nuke come crashing down to cause chaos. I want to trade it in for store credit at gamestop (yes I do that :P) and yet I want to wait for the new missions next year (do I really want to pay extra money for new missions??). Fallout 3 was my game of the year until I compared it to how I felt while playing GTA 4 and now I don't know what I think about Fallout 3 to be honest. I know they shouldn't be compared, but you know I was basing it on my feelings as I played them. Fallout 3 is a great game, just missing too many things to be called amazing now looking back....

Large map, many locations, So much stuff to do, Long game length

I don't know, but I generally consider those pros, but I do understand large map, because there is such a thing as too big (I looking at you, Oblivion and San Andreas)

gta4 was not that great i think it deserves a 9 tops not a 9.1 or 0.2 or 9.5 and 4 sure not 10. it was boring after i beated the missions it online was decent and the realism ruined the 100% fun vs the other gtas

LOL!! If you thought Oblivion was "big", then never play Morrowind or the earlier Elder Scrolls games... they kept getting smaller as the graphics got better.

IMO Fallout 3 was an excellent game, work of art, and GOTY material... and I'm not even a big fan of Bethesda, Elder Scrolls, or Fallout.

It was alright. Too short and the ending just sucked.

I thought the soundtrack was great. Fallout 3 was a great game. I still enjoyed GTA 4 more though.

Some people like certain games and some dont why are you so worried why some people like the game?
