Fallout 3 UK Collector's Edition (PS3)

Product Information

Both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions look great, even if they do suffer from occasional framerate issues that cause the game to stutter. The heart of the game, experience points, level progression, and character development, runs on an entirely different system. You'll see how likely you are to score a hit on each part, taking into account distance, obstacles, and your stats. The third major installment in the Fallout series, it is the first game to be created by Bethesda since it bought the franchise from Interplay Entertainment.

For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington, D. On the bottom of the label, horizontal disposition, is written: "© 2008 Bethesda Softworks LLC, A ZeniMax Media company. The idea of a real life post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland is something that I find quite terrifying and I’m sure I am not alone there.

Even after you've uncovered every location on the map, you'll find that some places to explore don't even pop up on the map as being found. It takes place within Fallout's usual setting of a world that deviated into an alternate timeline thanks to atomic age technology, which eventually led to its devastation by a nuclear apocalypse in the year 2077 (referred to as "The Great War"), caused by a major international conflict between the United States and China over natural resources and the last remaining supplies of untapped uranium and Crude oil. When the vault door rolls back and you step into the sun for the first time, the sense of awe and wonder as you gaze across the wasteland that was once the United States' capital is palpable. It can be quiet out on the wastes while you're exploring and, though it may seem backwards, this minimalist approach to sound only adds to the experience.

If you want a single aspect of the game to show your friends exactly how cool Fallout 3 is, you'll go with the combat. 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.

Yes, it is a lot like Oblivion and Elder Scroll series, and all though many will think this as a disadvantage, i feel this is a HUGE advantage. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Witness the harsh realities of nuclear fallout rendered like never before in modern super-deluxe HD graphics. The game is set within a post-apocalyptic, open world environment that encompasses a scaled region consisting of the ruins of Washington, D.
