Best computer RPG ever. Period.

I like this game so much I've played it from start to finish about 5 times (and didn't even play it for the first time until 2003!). Fallout is about 8 years old at this point and it still ranks as the best computer RPG of all time. The atmosphere, storyline, and music are all excellent, and the graphics still look good to me. It's a crying shame there aren't more games like this. Forget fantasy and sci-fi RPGs -- let's see some more post-apocalypse scenarios. Fallout is far superior to anything else I've ever played, new or old. I'm glad I found it.

A quiet classic

When Fallout was released RPGs were in a slump. The Genre was dying. Then fallout was released, an unheralded first effort by three devoted designers. Fallout's post-apocalyptic setting was the first revolution. Before that almost all RPGs were in traditional fantasy settings with the notable exception of wasteland, the game that inspired fallout. Fallouts second great contribution to gaming in general (aside from its awesome gameplay, story, and atmosphere) was reviving the role-playing game along with the next year's might and magic 6 and baldur's gate. Fallout is an old school rpg yet is accessible to the newbies. Before playing it I had played no old school rpgs and now i have played several. Fallouts simple interface houses an addictive game and deep rpg system that will appeal to new comers and fans alike. At the great price amazon is offering there is no excuse to not own fallout.

It is one of the few old games that I still play. Story line is incredibly good, the setting of the post nuclear war of drugs, radiation, adrenaline and max. pessimism of the post-nuclear world is incredible. You will be a vault dweller while playing the game, unifying with the character you created. I like fallout's graphic engine, still today, isometric and nice graphics. The only problem is the saving times but it wont cause that much trouble. If they release a Fallout 3, with the same sounds and graphics but with a better story line, i still buy it and rate it 5. One of the few RPGs of the past that we literally felt free to do anything. Play it, finish it and buy the Fallout 2 also.

Fallout is the official/unofficial sequel to the classic RPG Wasteland. I'm not finished with it yet, but I am having an absolute blast playing it. The action is non-linear, you can do just about anything you want.

Absolutely the best RPG out there!

I love RPG's, but always get fed up with some illogical puzzle or impossible to beat enemy and stop playing about 3/4 of the way through. This is the first I've ever finished. Very well balanced, and has replay value, as there are 3 paths you can take: fighter, thief, or diplomat. Unlike most games it is possible to finish the game (but not quite all quests) with any of these paths.

One very minor issue: On windows XP, the help screen and movies have the color all messed up so that it's hard to make out what's in them. Probably easily solved by changing some setting, but I never bothered trying.

If you like RPG's, but want some variety from the AD&D type world, don't miss this one!

Post-apocalyptic dark gothic role-playing with dark humor.

Set in the years following nuclear armageddon, you are one of the lucky few who made it to the safety of huge, underground vaults. Unfortunately, the water purification chip that you rely on to provide clean drinking water is failing, and you must venture into the strange new world to find a replacement. Mutants, murder, and mayhem come all too quickly. Can you find the chip for your home without losing your humanity, or succumbing to the radiation of the desert wastes? A most refreshing departure from the legions of elves and goblins, swords and sorcery commonly lumped into the RPG genre. Weapons include pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, and the mighty laser gatling gun! Immersive play, and a plot that keeps you twisting! Buy it! Do it Now!

THE GREATEST!

Fallout is an AMAZING game with rich atmospheres and a DEEP plot. Very alike Blizzard's "Diablo" except Fallout has a more fair Turn-Based combat, which saves those who have slow computers from being Radscorpian food. The only thing missing is a multiplayer enviroment, but the storyline keeps you occupied for a while- I havn't slept in days, thanks to this game.

A realistic look into our future

I love this game and I always will. The plot was great, and the reason: because It can happen. I also liked the rule setup and the turn based stragety. The enemys are well made; mutants, humans, dogs, giant scorpions, ect. The weapons kick serious ... too; shotguns, flamethrowers, pistols, rifles, ect. The music was done well too, It sets a creepy mood for this barren world. I recomend this game to all Post Apocaliptic freaks out there.
