Fallout 3 Review

-Fallout 3

Gameplay:
This game is probably the funnest game I've ever played. There are so many elements in it that just make it perfect. Some are the Pip-boy 3000, which has just about everything in it; others are the weapons, the followers, the open-world...something about this game is just perfect. Also, the controls are extremely good. And the DLC for this game is the best DLC I've ever downloaded.
20/20

Story:
The story is actually a really interesting story that isn't hard to follow. You start as a young boy (or girl) that escapes Vault 101, which was meant to keep you safe from the bombs dropping. You exit to find the Capital Wasteland in search of your father, who left the night before. When you find him, you work together to bring water to the Capital Wasteland. I'm not gonna give away the ending. Bethesda really got the story right.
10/10

Graphics:
This is probably the only place where Fallout 3 seems to leak through. The graphics aren't great, but Bethesda has been working on the game since 2004, so that may be why the graphics aren't great. But they fit the style of the game so perfectly that the score can't be too low. And at times, the graphics look great. Light reflects off of the "Alien Blaster" really well, and the "Mini Nukes" look good too.
7/10

Replay:
This game has the best replay of any game. You can start over and be totally different. You can be mean instead of nice. You can choose a different follower. You can blow up one tower instead of a small town. You can do whatever you want both in the game and in the replay.
10/10

Total: 47/50

Awesomeness %: 94%
