Discuss in the Fallout 3 forum

It's rare that a game can hit the mark in so many different and often conflicting areas. Fallout 3 offers freedom without sacrificing a focused story. It delivers fantastic combat without forgoing a deep role-playing system. The characters you meet are engaging and oftentimes hilarious without feeling out of place in this harsh world. The game has a few flaws -- most of them technical -- but it's a case where the whole is greater than the sum. It's a fantastic game with incredible atmosphere that offers fun in so many different ways that you're almost sure to get hooked. This is one of the best games you'll play this year.

    This is ridiculous. I get the RROD now. Just as Fable II, Far Cry 2 and Dead Space have been released. Then there's Gears 2, Fallour 3 and the new 007 game. D:

    Way too many games to get. If it wasn't because I didn't like creating stuff in LBP, I would've been feeling the hurt on my bank account...but the pain would've gone away with each game.

      The only reason that's so is because of the DLC. in all other aspects, they are equal. Why must we always trust everything we read? They're not always right.

          Hmm...well, I wasn't planning on buying it to begin with, and now I'm sure I won't be now.

        DLC's still a pretty big issue though.

    It's a shame, in light of these impressive design elements, that the PlayStation 3 version is shockingly inferior to the others from a technical perspective. Although the Xbox 360 and PC versions display the occasional visual oddity and bland texture, these nitpicks are easy to overlook. Sadly, the jagged edges, washed-out lighting, and slightly diminished draw distance of the PS3 release aren't so easy to dismiss. We also experienced a number of visual bugs on the PS3. Character faces disappeared several times, leaving only eyeballs and hair; limbs on robots went missing; some character models had an odd outline around them as if they were cel-shaded; and the day-to-night transition may cause odd streaks on the screen as you move the camera around. This version doesn't even offer trophies, whereas the Xbox 360 and PC versions offer Xbox Live/Windows Live achievements.
    -Gamespot.


    Thats a bloody shame. I hope they release a patch on the PS3 soon to fix some of that stuff up. Ill be getting this title for the 360 this time it seems.

      Why is getting it for 360 a bad thing? If it's a better version, get it. That's the beauty of having multiple consoles.

      Bethesda won't fix it. They're severely in favor of PC and 360.
