Fallout 3 review

It's 80+ hours, if you really want it to be. That's the key word. If you really want to struggle a bit, you can beat it in under 20 hours (it's harder to beat the game without all the perks, but its doable). But if you take your time and in a relaxed manner, it can take over 2-3 months easily I'd say.

 

took me about 20 to 30 hours

I downloaded it before it was actually released, so I was able to get a jump start on it

and exactly like Kamikaz said you can easily stretch this game out 80+ hours if you want by playing all the side quests and exploring the wide open map

I plan on playing it again and instead of finishing with good karma I'm gonna well you know...

 

Don't know exactly how far I am in the game but I am at this part where I am in a mall or something (after you talk to the galaxy news radio guy) and there is like 9 thousand super mutants. How the feck do I get past that.

 

Quick Reviews

Fable II: B-
Playable, and enjoyable, but nothing spectacular. Needs a little more work. Some good ideas, some innovation, but the innovation needs more devlopment to complete the ideas. For such a creative group, the story is underwhelming. The story should have been much better.

Good:
Revisiting Fable I stories and characters was a good idea. More games should do this.
Visually stimulating. Interesting details in each location
The Gargoyles. Good idea.
The dog was good. But need more dogs.

Bad:
The Light Trail takes fun out of it. I turned it off.
Same old enemies at last time, bandits are boring. Seriously.
The Story was lame. Really lame at the end.
The Heros who help you were lame. I did not even like them.
No consequences for dying. Brutally bad idea.


Dead Space: B+

Fun game, but nothing new here at all. Very playable.

Good:
A few scary moments
Good visuals, lighting, atmosphere
Love the videos sent by your compadres, nice game design
Health bar is easy to see
You will die, violently
Weapons were good, but some old ideas resurfaced.
Bodies and blood are very good.

Bad:
Backtracking, nobody likes backtracking the same locations.
Everything feels the same as previous games like it
Combat System takes some getting used to, cumbersome in tight situations.
Some levels look nearly the same
Hard to fight succesfully sometimes.
Gravity boot is annoying.

Looking forward to:
Left for Dead - Fast Zombies, cool.
Fall Out - I live in DC, so that will sit well with me.
Gears of War II - First game was pretty good.

 

I dunno but Fallout just doesn't interest me. I might get it later on down the track but at this stage just not interested.

 

I agree with the issue of navigating via the tunnel system, I hated having to use the tunnels every time I wanted to get anywhere. It would have been cool to use the tunnel systems a couple of times, but to use them over and over again was/is just plain annoying.

 

I don't quite remember encountering the million mutant army, at least not at that point. I remember there being quite a few near the Washington monument and even more in and near the Capital building, but I don't remember having issues at that location. Can you fast travel to another location and trek to wherever from there.
