The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

The Story: Vault 101 - Jewel of the Wastes
For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.Key Features: - Limitless Freedom! - Take in the sights and sounds of the vast Capital Wasteland!

 Fallout 3 Rocks...!!! :D December 26, 2008
the game is really good, and considering i live in Washington, DC area, it was really interesting to roam around that area in the game, a lot of interesting things... like your decisions in the game will affect how the game will be overall. I would recomend this game to anyone, wheather you like RPG style games or FPS games, you will like this game, it combines a little bit of every gaming style. If i had all 20 thumbs, id give all 20 up...!!! so thumbs up for this game...!!! :)
Awsome Game... December 24, 2008
This game is awsome - only issue is that it is violent. Parents beware and husbands with sensitive wives.Fallout 3
Fantastic December 17, 2008
Bethesda continues to make the best RPG products on the market, regardless of the platform. Deep, interesting, gritty, geown up. Buy this game.
Fun until you finish the main quest... December 8, 2008
Wandering around the post-apocalyptic wasteland loses some appeal after the main quest is complete or you max out your character's level...overall, though, a very fun game. Addictive...with lots of 'sploding!
 Another DRM-infected title that INSTALLS SONY'S ILLEGAL ROOTKIT ON YOUR MACHINE WITHOUT TELLING YOU December 3, 2008
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'm sure it's a nice game and I've been waiting for it for long time...
... but unfortunately never gonna buy, thanks to the evil, illegal Sony rootkit it would install on my machine without ever telling me about it.
Bethesda's handling of this issue speaks volumes about sheer incompetency and stupidity at every corporate level: first they went out to give an inte4rview claming there's no DRM in it.
Next thing we got was the game with one of the WORST DRM INFECTION, SecuROM - are these Bethesda honchos are truly this stupid idiots?
They simply LIED about it, believing enough people will buy it before the word gets out or what?
Of course next step was silently admitting the SecuROM infection but claiming it's not DRM, it's a simple "CD-check" - which, as one would expect from these clueless people, is BS again: it is SecuROM, IT INSTALLS THINGS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY FOR A CD CHECK, SILENTLY, HIDDEN FROM YOU.
CD check existed a decade ago already, no need for DRM, especially no need for a fully illegal rootkit-based one like SecuROM infection.
Fallout 3 = DEFECTIVE BY DESIGN
Go to hell, Bethesda, join Sony and EA there - here's a middle finger for you: i|i
