Fallout

Fallout is the best RPG ever to hit the computer. Although it sometimes gets a little complicated, the voices of the important characters are voiced perfectly. It's not like 007 The World Is Not Enough for the N64 consol system where it sounds it a bunch of first-timers, Fallout is the best. It is the BEST!

10/10

this is one those games that you can finish 10 times and still play again and again and always find something new. you can be a good guy you can be a bad guy . the story even changes according to your character's gender or attractiveness. it is set in a "retrofuture" post apocalyptic world with lots of references to 50's cold war mentality. one of the bes things is the haunting sound track which you will remember even in your sleep. this game is a perfect example of a game that does not have to be a 3d effects extravaganza to be a classic. too bad a sequel other than fallout 2 which is also excellent has not been made. if you enjoy intelligent rpg's this is one for you.

With maybe the exception for the sequel. The awesome environments, the freedom to do stuff your way (being evil works, and its fun!), the natural language (f*** and c*** are used, and it sounds good too (in other words not put in there just to be there))

Also it has a wonderful sense of humor.. I can't wait for Fallout 3 (tactics wasn't that great) and Arcanum, I'm hoping they can still keep the same wonderful feeling.

Fallout the post nuclear role playing game which made me lose much sleep and many weeks lost to this game, but boy was it worth it! Fallout is one hell of a ride with its amazing storyline and its realistic RTS action scenes make this a game definitely worth playing. Fallout 2 is already out but it will never be as good as its post apocalyptic prequel. Fallout is a fine example of its genre and it every bit deserves the title 'RPG of the year' (1997).

As most know, Fallout is a post-nuclear role playing game which striking similarities to Wasteland (another RPG, but about 10 years older). With its own excellent turn-based strategy combat, as well as a proprietary role playing system (SPECIAL, somewhat similar to other popular systems with interesting tweaks), Fallout proves itself to be at the top of its genre considering its time frame. Of course, the game has issues (most of which are technical), for instance the game length (approximately 40 hours) is extremely small. But regardless, this game is somewhere near the pinnacle of old-fashioned role playing. Why hadn't you heard of it? Because it came out during the late 90's 3D-FPS rage, and this game is 2D.

I am still quite stunned as to the industry's lack of recognition for this most outstanding game. The game's appeal lies in its charm and atmosphere, both of which are gritty and cold throughout the game. Its sad to see that e-mags like LameSpot and PC Lamer cannot recognize this game as one of the top of its genre. Instead, they are sadly putting their bets on FPS-RPG's which have been trendy lately. Hopefully in 10 years people will look back and admit that Fallout was a classic, much like its unofficial predecessor Wasteland.
