What a waste, its like playing dark alliance, with fallout smacked on the cover. The things you fight are the same form dark alliance with futuristic names. The game is a disaapointment compared to fallout 1 and 2 which where the best games ever made

Great fun for hack n slash fans

If you like Baldurs Gate:DA you'll like this. Some PC fanboys don't like the game because it isn't the same "type" of game as the PC Fallouts, but who cares? It wasn't designed for PC.

The gameplay is fast n furious, and working cooperatively with your friend playing multiplayer is great. highly recommended if you like hack n' slash games.

This game is trash!

Ugh!

What a useless waste of $50! There I was, hoping for a cool co-op action game and ended up with a buggy piece of crap! The controls are basically mashing the buttons around, it's offensive and embarassing and most importantly: The gameplay is crap. Ugly graphics make this boring repetitive shooter very very bad.

The only good point was the cool intro and some of the weapons, otherwise you're better off buying BG:DA.

Horrible

Wow. There's not really any words to describe this game. I got it thinking it would be cool since I love the post-apocalyptic genre, but the game turned out to be really bad. The plot was ridiculous, and all the quests were boring, repetitive things like "find the key and bring it back to me".

The fighting was probably the worst part of the game, which is pathetic, since the fighting plays the biggest role in the game. You just run around with your fingers mashing the auto-aim button and the fire button. There's no strategy or skill involved, it was just boring. The graphics suck also, compared to most X-Box games.

This game is a disgrace, do yourself a favor and don't rent or buy it.

Perfect game for old school gamers

I got lucky enough to spend a night playing co-op with my buddy that got an advanced copy. Don't worry it's a legal copy. I'd definitely recommend this one to any of the old school shoot-em-up gamers out there.

Not having the patience to go back and play fallout and fallout 2, BOS is perfect to get my fallout fix without spending weekends for progression in the game. Even though BOS doesn't have all the freedom like fallout 1 or 2, BOS still has the dark humor,post apocaliptic, no morals, and bad attitude feel that made me fall in love with the first 2 games. If BOS didn't have that Fallout feel, I would've tossed the game. If you don't have a job, or anything else to do during the day, I suggest you buy the first two games to completely understand BOS.

Great Co-op game

Had some friends over, and everyone enjoyed this game. Great game to play with a friend, still fun by yourself.

Had one friend that refused to play it because it was different then the PC versions. He stayed home by himself. :) I bet he'd like it if he gave it a chance.

So it's come to this...

Do not be fooled by the words "Fallout" and "50's sci-fi", they have absolutely nothing to do with this game. "Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel" is pretty much gratuitous naked skin, wrapped in an otherwise fine franchise.

Even by today's console standards, this game falls short in many categories. The graphics are sub-par, the gameplay is bland at best, and you'll need a microscope the magnitude of a truck, to even spot the slightest hint of "atmosphere" in this mood-ridden hunk o' junk.

For shame!

Brings Nothing To The Table Except Bare Crumbs

Very poor game. It seems as if this is a Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance clone, except remove the Dungeons and Dragons and insert this whacky post-apocalyptic universe in its place. The dialogue is repetitive and weak; usually involving more F-bombs than substance. The sex they advertise this game has is non-existent; it's just some black screen. Nice marketing trick to sucker in young kids right? The action is dull, the graphics are far below PS2-quality, and the plot [if you wish to call it that] is non-existent. There's so many better Xbox games out there worth the money.

More Baldurs gate D.A. and less fallout

I've enjoyed playing B.O.S. 1st off there is no way you can compare this to the original fallout series as they are totally different games.

however if you enjoyed playing baldurs gate DA or D&D heros then this just might be the next game for you to try out. it plays exactly like DA but with flame throwers and home made machine guns.

on its own, not tied to the franchise name this game is 5 stars easy.
