Political Bias Ruined It

4 Rating: 4, Useful: 2 / 19

I would have given this game 5 stars were it not so blatantly hateful of Republicans. The last portion of the game gave the character no option but to spew venom, hate, and lies about Republicans. I only finished the game anyway because I had already bought it and thrown away the receipt. Otherwise, I would have returned it.

In the future, with regards to the rumoured upcoming Fallout 3, I will keep the receipt and do internet research about that game before deciding to keep it for good.

While fatally flawed by its undisguised bias, the game, in its time, was excellent. The mixture of realistic weapon, sex, graphic violence, post apocalyptic storyline, and rpg elements make this an almost great game.
The graphics were quite dated and the sound effects often cut out, but this was not the game's fault. I bought this game long after its time. Unsurprisingly, the intervening years since the game's first release saw graphics and sound standards rise dramatically. My soundcard also was not supported for by the game. Again, not surprising and not at all the game's fault.

I love Fallout, exspecially Fallout 2. I bought Fallout 2 because I play Fallout and loved it. If you've played Fallout before Fallout 2 you'll find that Fallout 2 is a lot more discouraging. It's a lot harder to develop a new character. You'll never reach a point where you're immortal (eg. you can kill anything with ease). But anyway Fallout 2 is still great. I let my friend play Fallout 2 and he had a sleepover at my house just so he could play Fallout 2. Everyone I know loves Fallout 2.

One of the Best RPGs

What can I say about this great game? Well I can say a lot about it but I'm going to keep it short. Well lets take a look at the game concept. Well the Fallout 2 takes place after the hero of the first Fallout has saved everyone from the muntanes(can't spell it). Well anyways it's been awhile and you start off as a descanted from the hero of the first one. Well you have get a this kit to save your tribe. Of course the plot thickens and you have all those fun side quest. Well what makes this game better then the first one is that the map is much bigger and more places and quests you can go to. Plus you get a car. You have different type of weapons and the same old ones. There are NPCs you can work with so that another plus. There are many more postive things about the game. But I have how some complaints the engine of the game wasn't very good it was the same engine as the first one. I mean come on I want to see bullets hitting the wall and stuff like that. They could of made it when you used the aim shot and you aim for the leg you see the guy grap his leg. They could have done so much more. Well that's my mind on the game.

hi my name is nawaf,(pro game tester for interplay and much more). 5 years ago i test what would be a best seller Fallout. the game was a great hit with me and the other testers. I came back for 2 it got much much better it started a new ago of r.p.gs. The game gives you the freedom to do what ever you what with multi endings a main job, and sub jobs to keep you in the game. Even after you finish you will still have hours to play. I give this game 5 STARS , this is a must get game if you dont get it now, when 3 comes out and i have tested it you will be lost. and for the lucky ones who got 1 :) you have many more fallout to come. This is the next final fantasy. Dont get lost get it NOW

The GOD of rpg

I am a RPG fan (also enjoyed great titles in action like half-life). Fallout2 is by far the greatest game I have even seen. I have at least played this game 10 times. And I am still going to play it again. RPG is all about story-line and character development. Fallout2 has the most complex story so far. The design of sub-quests makes a lot of sense. In my opinion, it is much better than the Baulder Gate, which is so repetitive with all these Fedex quests. The game is overall difficult, but not overly difficult.

The garphic is neat enough that you will not regret the fact that there are no eye candies. What a relief! Games nowadays likes to have 3D high-tech cookies only for the sake of high-tech.

Actually I played fallout2 before the original fallout. How could I not buy fallout after I played fallout 2 :). The original fallout is way too short, but still better than 99% of the PRGs on the market.

My recommendation is that fallout2 is a must have for any rpg player. Me? I cannot wait for the release of the new game "Arcanum", which is produced by the three gurus in fallout group.

Great Non-linear RPG

Not As Good As Fallout I or Fallout Tactics, Still a Blast

Fallout II, while falling short of the original Fallout, or the squad based Fallout Tactics, is still a fantastic game, definitely worth a look. It plays similar to the first installment, but boasts better graphics and richer character dialogues (The two things going for it.) I recommend purchasing the dual package, which contains both Fallout I & Fallout II. It is worht the price for the first alone, and the second is a nice bonus. Four stars, highly recommended.

Addicting

The only BIG problem in this game is that it is VERY addicting! I've played the game through about dozen of times (and I never used patch) and I will likely install it again since there aint still no rpg even nearly as good as this.

Extremely addicting

In my whole life of being a gamer, this is my favorite RPG ever! The game is non-linear at all, meaning you can do whatever you want (and i mean what ever you want!) You can go from being man-hunting slavers, professional boxers, and even being a porn star for crying out loud. The endless possiblities of choice is what makes this game incredibly unique.

The combat system is surprisingly smooth, and its fun shooting people in the groin to stun them. I must warn you though, this game is meant for very mature players. The vision of a post-apacalyptic wasteland is not for the casual gamer. Explicit language is very common, as well as gore (but the graphics are laughable compared to today's more modern stuff,) and abuse of women, and drugs. I can guarentee you that this game is unlike any other you've played.

Simply amazing....

ITS A MUST-BUY!
