Fallout 3 is a welcomed addition to the fallout family. Fans of the series will not be disappointed with the graphics, sound quality and quest challenges as the game meets all expectations and even more. It is slightly different than the original one and two Fallout, but it still has the same objectives and theories that you would previously expect.
The game is based out of Washington in the far future. The story line is that you and your dad have been hiding in a capsule while a nuclear war had been going on; only now with your dad lingering around outside, it is up to you to find him. The only problem is that there are ghouls and enemies out there are will do anything to stop you.
The game is credited for giving players absolute freedom to explore the world and to chat with anyone they choose. You can explore factories to people`s homes. Nowhere is out of bounce and you can do pretty much anything you want.
You can earn rewards and items for doing good deeds. Every time you do something good in the world for example rescue an orphan you earn karma points but if you do something not so nice such as rob a bank, then your karma points go down. Through out the game there will be opportunities to do quests or even get help from someone, however if your karma level is down then don`t expect many good things to come your way or anyone to willingly help you.
The graphics in the game are amazing and very realistic as far as post nuclear Washington would look. The scenery is gruesome and holds back nothing to show as much detail in everything as possible. For example if you slay an enemy you can see in detail where the cut happens and how the injury pans out, whether the head comes off or part of a shoulder, the game does not hold back.
The sound in the game is also fine. You can hear everything from the wind going by to a set of firing bullets in the far distance. Everything is crystal clear and makes you believe that you are there. If you want some music, this option is for you as well, there are several choices to choose from and the music never gets too loud so you can still concentrate on the game. The game has been noted to be played best in the first person making it a better visual to play.
Most people say that Fall Out 3 works better on Xbox 360 then PS3. In PS3 there were some graphic issues and some issues around fading images or disappearing items that are visual in Xbox 360. The issues are minor and it was also stated that both systems play the game well, but that one played it better than the other one did.
As you head through the game you can earn things like strength, perception, and endurance and you can also win items such as heavy weapons and lock picking tools. These items come in handy for you as you wiz through the world.
The quests are fewer than in previous Fall Out 3 games, there quick and short, but however should not be rushed by intention. There is a lot to be done in each game and players are urged to go through it thoroughly. If you finish the game you cannot go back to a saved spot in the game, you have to start over.
