Product Description
Vault 101 Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 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(R) 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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm writing this review several years (about 3-4 years) after the first release of Fallout 3, so I am probably not making any new ground with this review. I did enjoy Oblivion, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on Fallout 3 GOTY after playing it on the Xbox 360.
The GOTY comes with several expansion packs. Operation Anchorage is worth playing because it gives you a special Winterized T-51b power armor and helmet that never needs to be repaired (and it is about the most powerful armor in the game), along with a Gauss Rifle that wears out but can't be repaired to 100% since there doesn't seem to be any other Gauss Rifles in the game. However, that is where Mothership Zeta comes into play. There is plenty of Alien Epoxy throughout the ship which can be used to repair the Gauss Rifle if you like that weapon. The Pitt and Point Lookout weren't that great and quite frankly I thought they were a waste of time. Some of the perks are worth earning from the expansion packs. Broken Steel is essentially a continuation of the original story, with a level cap of 30 and new perks.
There are several features of this game that stand out. The stats are sectioned and can be confusing at first. The SPECIAL attributes are important. Intelligence and Strength are very important at first, followed by Perception and Endurance. Don't max out any of these to 10, but try to stay above 6-7. Skills are modified after each level increase, make sure you get the Swift Learner perks (3 ranks available) to get a max of 23 skill points each time you level up. Perks are available after each level increase and give you special bonuses.
Bobbleheads are available to boost your SPECIAL stats and skills, so it is important to not max out your SPECIAL stats or skills early. Skill books are also available to increase your skills, so get the Comprehension perk early on.
The game was extremely frustrating at first, until I got to about level 7. Then with some strategy, it was easier to survive and somewhat fun. At level 15, my character was able to kill enemies with ease. At level 20, my character is an absolute machine. I can lay waste to enemies with the greatest of ease, and my perks from the expansion packs almost makes him impervious to radiation poisoning and damage. The unique weapons are the items that you should try to find and use. They are special variants of common weapons with more damage, but can be repaired using the common weapons. The A3-21 Plasma Rifle, Xualon Assault Rifle, and Vengeance are just a few of these examples.
This game is very very time consuming. There are a lot of mini quests to complete, and a lot of things to do. Most of the time is spent going from location to location, exploring, and role-playing game activities in general. Remember to save and save often, because I've had the game lock up on me about half a dozen times on Xbox 360.
Overall: 5/5 stars, the best way to enjoy Fallout 3 is with the GOTY edition. Operation Anchorage, and Mothership Zeta have some very useful items.
This is a game that defies explanation, it's truly just an experience that you have to take part in to understand. Gameplay appeal is going to always be subjective, so there is no need trying to convince someone they will like how this game works or not, they either will or will not. Some may complain about the technical shortcomings- yes, the character models are not that great, yes, the animation is not the most cutting edge motion capture you will ever see, yes, there are occasional bugs and glitches- but- these are nothing compared to the overwhelming positives Fallout 3 brings to the table.
Personally, I find the gameplay very engaging; the combat never gets old, the amount of things to collect and discover keeps you coming back, and it offers enough overall depth to sustain investment over what can reach triple digit hours.
I first played through this game in early 2009 when it was first released. I did so with no help or guides, and I enjoyed it immensely. Recently, I picked up the GOTY edition, which is a fantastic value, and read up a little to be sure I wasn't missing as much as I did the first time... and boy, does this offer an epic journey! I would say the average player will miss an absolute minimum of 50% of the game's content the first time through, and even then this is a huge game. The amount of depth to the world in Fallout 3 is staggering, and there are simply so many fantastic moments, places, and characters that it is hard not to place this as one of the most memorable games ever.
The setting is brilliant, with a the-past-is-the-future 50's theme, the humor is great, constantly poking subtle fun at 50's idealism and the views of the future at that time. There are also some thoughtfully serious undercurrents; really the art design is very clever, as it juxtaposes upbeat, old time appeal against the stark horror of a nuclear holocaust; it is all very well executed.
All I can say, is on every level, this is about as perfect as a game can be. This is a big, complicated game too, so the fact that this all came together so well is a huge accomplishment, and is definitely worth your time.

プレイするには北米版Xbox360が必要です。
リージョンフリーのソフトが大半を占める中で、これは少々不親切に感じました。
日本版Xbox360で規制なしの海外版で遊びたいのならアジア版でないと無理です(アジア版にGOTY版はありませんが)。
これから購入しようと思っている方は注意してください。
ちなみにPS3版はリージョンプロテクトがないので北米版でも日本版PS3で問題なく動作します。
