Hi there welcome back to ps3 rpg games for another review of a great game! Today we'll be discussing Fallout 3: Game of The Year Edition. Fallout 3 is (like borderlands) a fps and rpg in one. People like to refer to this genre as "role playing shooter". Fallout also takes place in a post apocalyptic world but is much more serious than Borderlands and has realistic visuals (except offcourse for the insane creatures and beasts, which are very impressive by the way). Fallout 3 is more than just a shooter with rpg elements, I actually think it's more rpg because you're not as agile and really need to level to take on stronger enemies. The leveling system is conventional and works good. You have a lot of choices in character development and this not only affects you but the world around you and the behaviour of the people in it as well. Especially the karma of your character affects reactions of creatures and people you meet. You know what they say: Karma's a bitch! The freedom in Fallout is one of the strongest aspects of the game, almost every quest can be accomplished in a few different ways. For example: say you need something from a guy you can do a side quest for him to get it, try to pick his lock when he's asleep, use your charisma and smooth talk him into handing it over or the less subtle approach: just shoot him in the head. The latter obviously won't be adding to a good karma.
The detail in Fallout is amazing. The environment looks great, everything looks 40's-50's style and the music is from this period too. And that's one of the best things in Fallout 3, the music is just excellent. There's nothing better than shooting shotguns and rocket launchers at large beasts while an easy tune of "The Ink Spots" is playing! You can
have your radio on while fighting and exploring the world of Fallout all the time so listening to these great tunes is available from the moment you get the radio stations up and running..you gotta love it!
Before going to a conclusion I want to take a look at the unique VAT-system (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System). When you activate this system the combat will be paused and you're allowed to target specific body parts of the enemy. This will give you the chance to criple your enemy by shooting the legs, make him drop his gun by
