GamingShogun reviews Fallout 3, for the PC, calling it 'unmistakeably Fallout' and generally praising its immersive qualities. They do, however, note that the AI can be spotty in certain situations. Fallout 3 is the first Fallout game created by Bethesda Softworks and is based on the original Fallout and Fallout 2, both of which were post-apocalyptic role-playing games. Fallout 3, however, has been developed in the first-person style.

One unforeseen effect that Fallout 3 had on me while I played it was an overwhelming sense of despair and aimlessness. I had not thought of the increased immersion that the first-person view would bring, and as I wander through the ruins of the nation's capital I actually feel sad. Sad that we humans had to do this to ourselves. Our greatest monuments in ruins, our people now scavenging about like beasts. Making it worse is that I stumble upon Pennsylvania avenue and see the ruins of a very familiar White House. It actually reminds me alot of the Gears of War 'Mad World' trailer as Marcus wanders through the ruins of his world. I would say that Gary Jules' 'Mad World' might almost be too much to bare while walking around DC in its ruined state...
