Fallout 3 is the long awaited third entry in the Fallout franchise. While the past games focused on a more diablo style gameplay, Fallout three ( Made by bethesda, creators of the elder scrolls series) Plays more like a turned based RPG/ FPS. The most notable feature in the game is V.A.T.S, When in V.A.T.S the game pauses and lets you pick, what enemy you want to shoot and where you want to shoot them( head, legs, arms etc.) And it's here where the game is at it's best. Not only does V.A.T.S give you a tactical advantage, but it allows you to see your enemys heads sxplode in slow motion. Now you can play the game like an FPS. but the shooting feels clunky and you might have more trouble then you'd like. The story is also great though a little predictable. All in all Fallout 3 is a superb game with only a few things holding it back from being a truly remarkable game.
