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.

This is not Fallout.

If you're looking for an experience similar to that of Fallout 1, Fallout 2, or even ::shudders:: Fallout: Tactics, then click the back button on your browser now. The only thing this game, FO:BOS, has in common with the previous titles is the name, and it puts the name to shame. (Yeah...It's rhyme time.)

Maybe if you want another BG:DA, you might get into this game. It's got almost the same start, the graphics are equally poor, and the RPG element is..well..not there. Tomb Raider for the N-Gage plays better than this.

Pass this game up, spend your money on something good: Star Wars: KOTOR; Voodoo Vince; Grand Theft Auto III.

This is not fallout 3

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

I picked this up used and couldnt have been more disappointed. It has none of the feel of the original fallout titles. As some examples, the action isnt turn based, which really ruined this for me right off from the start. Half the fun and originality of fallout was the turn based action. The backing music doesnt have the same feel at all. Rather than the grim ambience of the first to set the mood, they use 'rock and roll' tracks from bands like 'slipknot'.

Seriously, there was so much wrong with this game i couldnt even complete it. If you are a big fan of the originals, then stay away from this.

Revised review: decent afterall.

I'm revising my review here, as I recently bought an X-Box and picked this game up as well with it.

I'll admit, I joined the bandwagon of fellow fallout fans denouncing this game, and alot of reasons were still in the right.

The gripes I still have with this game are the camera angle view they use is horrible and the combat is a bit difficult.

But as for the look and feel of the Fallout world? They pinned it down faily nicely.

I'd edit the stars to maybe 3 instead of 1...

Perfect...for Lab Rats

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is only a "perfect" game in the sense that it's perfect for lab rats that are accustomed to running through mazes. The game play is boring and repetitious with levels/maps set up like mazes for the player to run through in bland and uninteresting "Fed-Ex" quests.

The graphics are lack-luster; the profanity a seeming expression of juvenile, scatological glee; the setting nothing more than BG: DA recycled with some elements of the Fallout setting stirred in to cash in on name recognition.

If anyone is thinking of buying this title based on the strength of the "Fallout" franchise I would recommend first renting this game, or (better yet) giving it a pass completely. While perhaps one shouldn't expect too much from a console game in terms of role playing it must be said that this game bears no similarity other than superficially to its RPG forebears.

All-in-all a grave disappointment.

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.

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.

I went in with high hopes, but......

Wow, I never walk out of a movie, and I hate to give up on a game half way thru, but I came very close here. The original Fallout was the first RPG I'd ever owned, and I still love it, its sequel, and tactics; I really wanted to like this one to, but I just couldn't wait for it to end. I almost bought it the day it came out for full price, thank goodness I held off and and just picked it up for under ten. As it is, rumor has it an open ended Morrowind style RPG is being worked for the next Gen consoles a couple years from now, which I am sure will be great.....but just incase, I'll be waiting before picking it up. Sorry Interplay, but this long time fan just doesn't trust you anymore (but wants to be won back)
