Fallout 3 short game

Sound: Yep. Yep, the game has sound. In some cases it's overly-pronounced, as in the case of your optional pet dog's incredibly loud panting, but it's mostly just The game's voice acting is pretty decent overall, and has much greater diversity than Oblivion's, though you will still find on occasion that new characters' voices sound awfully familiar. The music, on the other hand, is pretty good, and the two major radio broadcast stations have some pretty funny stuff going on.

Sadly, before too long you will have heard everything which the two stations play, and you will probably grow bored with them. Falloutness and overall believability: Tragic. A lack of attention to detail and downright poor level design, not to mention a misguided sense of what constitutes "balance," contribute toward creating a game which is not Fallout and is not convincing. Many aspects of the Fallout world have been tossed out the window, with the effect that the once slow-moving ghouls are now fast and deadly, super mutants are now asexual, and power armor is no longer powerful because it would make the other armor types useless if it were.

Strangely however, the oldest and least-advanced form of power armor now rare is miraculously more powerful than the greatly-advanced power armor employed by the military. None of this makes any sense to a Fallout fan, but if you're new to the series or just don't care, these things won't affect you.

On the other hand, the terrible level design in this game can be very immersion-breaking. When wandering the wastelands, you will sometimes encounter towns where every building has been completely destroyed except for one wooden cottage which somehow survived the carnage surrounding it.

Upon entering the cottage, you will find that although its inhabitants have been dead for centuries, the computer still works and the water faucets are still running. The furniture will be in perfect condition, even though the books on the bookshelf will all be burned and destroyed from the explosions which rocked the outside. In the subways where much of the gameplay takes place, many tunnels have collapsed in order to prevent the player from moving forward. More curiously however, there are many sections where the floor has been blown apart by an explosion, yet the low ceiling and nearby walls show no signs of having been exposed to either an explosion or shrapnel.

The whole thing just looks thrown-together and often seems as though no thought was put into it, killing the atmosphere. Oblivionness and conclusion: Also tragic. Oblivion has over twice as many enemy types as Fallout 3, and greater diversity even within individual types. Oblivion has many, many more quests available than Fallout 3; there are just over 30 to follow in Fallout 3, whereas there are nearly in Oblivion.

The world in Fallout 3 is very small, with little to explore, as opposed to the expansive world in Oblivion which takes quite a while just to traverse end-to-end. Ultimately, Fallout 3 feels like a minor, player-created mod for Oblivion, rather than something which was created by a major company and which should be paid for.

It's certainly an enjoyable game in its own right, but the broken gameplay mechanics, lack of immersion, and just overall lack of content or things to DO drag it down.

It's also disappointing that the game is just so blatantly a carbon copy of Oblivion with guns, as opposed to doing something new. So whereas Oblivion may be an 8, this game is a 6. I would suggest renting it or borrowing it from your friends for a weekend if they have it, but not buying it; there just isn't enough there to warrant a purchase. Log In Sign Up.
