The Review
Welcome to the wasteland of the old US of A. Its dark, damp full of radiation and everyone's welcome after all it is the land of opportunity.
The story
Fallout is simply put a game about surival in a war torn earth, everything from people to roaches have been mutated and people struggle to find water of all things.
You begin life in vault 101, an underground shelter where people fled when the bombs dropped and when i say begin life I mean it as you play your life up until teens years in the vault. It is really unique and draws you straight into the game. After everything goes pear shaped,(which is a saying that really doesn't make sense) you leave the fault and you make your own way in the world from adventure to side quests you do to the places you see the wasteland is huge.
During the games story you will find out things about your familys past some true some not but the main conflict will be between the Enclave and the brotherhood of steel as you try to purify the waters in the wasteland or destory all life. All would be good if not for one drawback, once the game ends it ends no matter which ending you choice the game ends this is the only drawback of the story.
Gameplay
Gameplay is not as you would expect. You can choice to look 1st or 3rd person, 3rd being the better option when it comes to shooting. Yet it is not the shooting that makes fallout standout its the V.A.Ts system which allows you to target body parts on you enemy this gives a percentage to you so that you can choose where to shoot. This works surprisingly well as it never seems forced or awkard.
When it comes to character development in rpgs its vital and fallout does it greatly. Every level you gain a perk as well as points to put towards skills. Perks can range from canibal to Gun nut. You also can gain points in S.P.E.C.I.A.L which stands for strength, precition, edurance, chraisma, intelligence, agility and Luck.
Overall
If you where a fan of oblivion or a fan of rpgs in general then I think you will get some good play time out of this game. The story is great and the gameplay is unique. If this is you then its a must buy and if your not sure wait till the price goes down.
