Fallout 3 is a first person shooter, RPG, nuclear apocalypse sim all rolled up with the sprinkles of cool storyline. You start off as a newborn baby covered in slime, this is where the character customization happens as you are shown an image of what you will look like as an adult. You are free to make any changes you like to the default face that im pretty sure nobody in the entire world would stick with. Unlike Mass Effect, character faces look ugly, and unlike previous Bethesda title Oblivion, there is no Cat race. TOTAL BUMMER.
Shooting guns is pretty awesome, until you get to a certain point when every enemy turns into the terminator and take 30 clips of shotgun to the face before they die. The new V.A.T.S. system introduces an RPG like turn based combat system that eats up a few seconds, but then you have to wait for it to recharge. Waiting for V.A.T.S. to refill can sometimes be annoying, especially when you are overwhelmed with mutant cockroaches. Did I mention this game has mutant ants? Because it totally does. I happen to have myrmecophobiaso I had to quit the game as soon as I seen the ant lady and her army of giant ants. This game totally worth its price tag, but not recommended for anyone with myrmecophobia.
