Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm loving it!
I'm from Singapore and being a Fallout fan since the beginning, I went ahead with the Ultimate Survival Edition, despite reading all responses regarding the Pipboy 3k. Over here in SG, they only bring in the standard disc version, only offering the Collector's Edition on the PS3.

I had it shipped via Free Shipping option to my Borderlinx US address and it was DHL-ed over to SG. Ripped opened it up and fixed up the Pipboy 3k gently and it worked perfectly! Now my aging Mum is using it as she has difficulty telling time in the dark.

Hopefully the batteries last a week, which I doubt. I better go get some rechargeable batteries on standby.

I do agree that it does not look like it is worth the extra USD$50 but hey, I'm a Fallout fan plus hardly any collectible ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fallout 3
By far the most fun and imersed I have gotten in a game in quite a while played through 2 times all ready and going for a third fantastic game.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazon Fails to Deliver
I preordered this game as soon as the release date was announced. Everything was set up for me to receive the game as soon as possible... but the game didn't come. I contacted Amazon, and they stated that the package could not be delivered to my address, but would attempt to send it again. Over a month went by, all of my friends played and beat the game... I was left in the dark... After a month and a half I finally received the money that I paid for this service back. Thank you amazon, you have finalized my decision making process with regards to online purchases. I still don't have the game, and probably won't buy it due to this horrible service.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Use Steam, Don't Buy Clock, Own a Real Video Card
General:
The game itself is every bit as fun as the earlier Fallouts, but has a dramatically different feel to it. The neighborly feel, large population, and ample available work of the old Fallouts is missing, but replaced by substantially improved writing and stunning graphics. I've strongly recommended it to several others, and have heard similarly strong recommendations from everyone else I know that's played it.

*****UPDATE: About an hour after I wrote this, with no less than 6 quests yet untouched and about a quarter of the map unexplored, I reached a level cap at level 20. The game is easy enough, at this point, that I shouldn't be as powerful as I am and, more importantly, a lot of the wind has been knocked out of the remaining 1/5 or 1/4 of the game left to be played by ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Worthy Successor (Almost)
Let's go through the little tchotchkes inclused with the Exclusive Survival Edition:

1. PipBoy 3000 Clock. For a unit that functions as just a clock (no alarm capacity), you'd think they would include an AC adapter plug. Otherwise, even if it works on startup (mine did, no tinfoil additions necessary), the battery life is very short--4 days even with high-grade Energizer lithium batteries. For that, Bethesda should be ashamed to include a cruddy add-on (and Amazon.Com being an accomplice to this, marketing an extra $50 for an object barely worth $5). No points for thise shameless attempt to wring out a few extra dollars from loyal fans. Next time, Amazon.Com, expect to lose money because you helped shaft a loyal fanbase.

2. The Other Add-Ons. The rest is a fairly decent ... Read More
