The title should be Fallout x 2

Everything that was in Fallout is magnified in this game to at least twice the amount. Gameplay, NPC's, critters (still no flying criters though), enemies, allies, tandi's age (well, 2 is too small a number there), and total bugs (the only drawback to this game). I got this game on my Thanksgiving vacation back in '99 on a Thursday, and by the following monday, I had plugged in about 60 hours of gameplay (ten of those hours were spent staring at the charecter creation screen). In other words, GET THIS GAME! IMHO, it's the best RPG you can buy.

Man o' Man, you need this game...

Ok, lets put it this way, this game blows every other RPG out of the water. It has excellent visuals and sounds, plus a viriety of installation methods. With 100 different weapons and military devices, you can be a walking army. I got this game close to a year and a half ago, and couldn't stop playing for 6 months. The great thing is, once you beat it (and it take forever to, becuase of all the quests and such) you can keep playing! There are so many different characters that there is an unlimited supply of people to talk to, barter with or kill. I had no idea how they had the capacity to make such a great game. Just buy it, you'll see ;)

Best RPG, ever!

There is nothing for me to say that already hasn't been said by the other reviewers. Just know that if you like rpg's at all then you'll most likely love Fallout.

Incredible Game!

Wow! This is a great game. You play as the Chosen One of a little village and get to run around, doing seriously ANYTHING. It is the FULLEST game I've ever played, in the sense that you can really be whatever you want. You can be little goodie-two-shoes, solving every wrong you see, or you can be a hardcore badass, killing when you feel like it and stealing from everyone. It is SO much fun and can be played over and over!

Fallout 1 and 2 where groundbreaking.And for me it still stands as the most groundbreaking games ever(if you like games that could happend in the real world(many years from now) not that wow/oblivion thing - even though thats a complete other catagory and not my point to diss just point out the differ).
I remember when fallout 1 come out it was so new and so rough so violent,so real it dragged you in for hours.Junktown was a blast kill them all ore get involved("Mcgyver" even had a voice as a shop owner in junktown how cool is that?ore not..:).Way cool the hub got blasted in the end of Fallout 1.Stupid sheriff and police officers of hub think they had a chance against the remains of masters army:):)...

Even though fallout 1 was not the biggest game it's still amaze me how much they make out of apparently so little compare today standars.The games where and still are groundbreaking.Remember the waterchip?:)

Back to fallout 2
The only problems with fallout 2(if i could think of any and name some. not all)

- new reno .Ok mobsters brought some cool things inn but it make me feel like it was not fallout more like a mafia game it really confused me certainly something where missing where was the muties and raiders gang?he,he(But that mike tyson boxer in the basement was cool kind of fallouty even though the boxing mini game was crappy.

- And the yakuza?(lol - you could meet them in the desert and collect there blades but never meet them in a town/base ore something where was they hiding?:):)a lose end i guess..),

- NCR(shady sands in fa1) was a kind of strange with that lol police uniforms and the randi/mr westin raiders plot - randi from shady sands ncp from fallout 1.
And what the hell hapend to brotherhod of steel?they got lost inn lost hills ore wut?Small outpost in some cities and one lameass guard(unrealistic the slavers in the den would have killed him long ago:):).

And speaking of den - the ghost there where foolish - ).It might as well be good that they stay out of focus the enclave was indeed way cooler then the brotherhood even though the ending of fallout 1 was cooler then fallout 2(Remember the master's voice:"Join.Die!.Join.Die!") .But if the enclave where the remains of the us govurment why did we not hear about in fallout 1 ore the brotherhood had heard of them(unrealistic and dont stick to the story i feel from fa1 it dont really says any info about the president in fallout 1)??

- And what about the Gun Runnerst.There are someone like them outside Ncr but it is not them(they are lamer) - not a problem but hey the deatchlawmission in Fa1 where cool:))i missed the blades to it looked like the yakusa entrance in the desert where a mock up of the blades(?)

Thats also a big differ beetween fa1 and fa2 in fallout1 you get the feeling the state has vanished and the vasteland with all its mutations and thirld world cities,and a selfish military organisation know as a brotherhood of steel(remains of the us military see the us annex canada he has brotherhood armour) And the master with its mutant army is all thats is left(he dies in fa1) and in fal2 the enclave suddenly appairs with vertibirds and a a platform.And the president's plan of killing evrybody with a virus to start over and get rid of the muties( even though its 100 years later from fallout 1)it makes some sense not the biggest sense

And if you read the holo disc in the old military base you got that info that Frank horrigan is a Mutie(he must have taken plenty steroids as well) even though he calls you a mutie and tries to diss you(give him your muated toe and he would die)...

- aliens(wanamingo they looked like the aliens in the alien movies - pop culture ref - thypical fallout but this was a bad one) and geckos(fire geckos the most anoying).
The creatures looking like masters pet where great why couldent they make more like these.
I remember in fallout 1 you found that alien blaster. If there where aliens out there why did they not have a alien blaster instead of trying to bite you?(the enclave patrols tried to blast you with their blaster but it's not the same - and i notice a bug ore something else innside the puzzle in the oilplatform thats makes you have the alienblaster inn fallout 2 as well it hapend to me several times(:)))

All and a all a great game.The graphics are old but the story and characters are very strong.Go play and pray fallout 3 be just as good...
the end...

Fallout 2 Forever

If you like Fallout games, then you will be instantly addicted. While Fallout 2 is an older era RPG, it exhibits all of those little things that set the standard for RPGs of this genre that the newer games try to duplicate and usually don't. Unlike the original release, this version works well with Pentiums. The fixes are well done, and I've really stressed the parameters in ways the designers probably never anticipated:)
