Just picked up this game and it really is the end in this game. I've played a good 10+ hours I think already with the game. Its a really long game but extremely addicting as you can tell. It really feels like Terminator except for John Connor and Skynet, but...I'll explain later. Well anyways it seems to revolve around an alternate world since the 1950 era is heavily influenced until the year of 2077, which was the year when the nuclear war began. In Fallout 3 the year is now 2277 and is set 200 years after the nuclear war. The first Fallout games occur at earlier time, but I haven't played them; so I will save the whole history of Fallout for a later time. Anyways, most humans have been living underground in Vaults to keep safe from the nuclear disaster. The player you play as escapes the vault he/she (You get to choose the gender) lives in and must look for his/her father in the post-apocalyptic landscape.
You will meet friendly people, confusing people, mutated animals/people, and people who will just shoot you on sight. The world is now officially screwed up yet the eery landscape has a somewhat beautiful sight to see. There are a few things that will help you survive in the barren world. One most important thing is the PIP-Boy 3000.
Everything you need will be right here. You can choose weapons, change your outfit, check stats, quests, etc. The PIP-Boy 3000 is now your best friend. Here's a video which shows a slew of things and a demonstration of the all around important VATS system:
Well thats most of all the basics of Fallout 3 and how to survive. I have not beaten the game yet so this is an incomplete review yet will recieve a rating anyway. And the Terminator theory, lets just say its not far off from an actual Terminator RPG which would be awesome. Also since with the new Terminator movie coming out soon, I need to be explained about the whole timeline with Terminator. Looks like Marty and Doc really screwed with the space time continuum with that.
Fallout 3 gets a 9.8 out of 10. An almost perfect score, if the character models wouldn't look so grudgy.

I find games that borrow elements from movies are typically better than games that are official movie adaptations.
Now there's nothing wrong with sharing your experiences so far of a video game you're still playing but giving a review score before you've beaten it? What if in the very last part of the game you're fighting robots created by Biff Tannen who became rich off of sports betting? Will you redact your earlier score and give it the 10 it deserves?
