Fallout 3 UK Collector's Edition (PS3)

Product Information

You'll want to hear everything every person has to say, but to do that you'll have to play the game more than once and likely more than a few times. The documentary begins with a bit too strong of a sales vibe for my taste, as if the developers are trying to tell you how cool the game you just bought is. Massive amounts of dialogue were recorded for conversations and, since you can play the game as either a male or female, many were even recorded twice.

Bethesda Softworks has released details and a new image for the Collector's Edition of Fallout 3, announced last month. This is just a few pages but trust me when I say that it’s full of some beautiful images of the capital wasteland and interesting concept art on just about everything Fallout. All told, there are enough compelling quips, stories and info that makes it worth watching at least once if you love either Fallout or Bethesda's previous games. This was the Fallout 3 press kit sent out to journalists by Bethesda and why the internals contains general info and press contact information.The only thing more effective is pick-pocketing a raider and leaving a hand-grenade in place of the stolen item. For those who are already bad, it provides the excuse to do great evil and take advantage of the weak. The entire game can be played in either a first- or third-person perspective (playing in third-person isn't nearly as enjoyable) as a straight action game.

From the creators of the award-winning Oblivion comes Fallout 3, featuring one of the most realized game worlds ever created. The weapons in Fallout 3 are awesome and when you combine them with VATS you get some fantastic results. Unlike most great games fallout 3 starts you off as a baby entering vault 101 from your mothers womb who unfortunately you never meet as she dies at childbirth. Both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions look great, even if they do suffer from occasional framerate issues that cause the game to stutter. You can chose to either follow the missions you find, or explore every inch of the nuclear wasteland that you can see.

It's clear that care has been paid to giving Fallout 3 a look that adds to the atmosphere of desperation. Bethesda commissioned them to re-bottle a sizeable amount of their standard cola as Nuka-Cola for distribution to the journalists and E3 patrons. The same level of flexibility and focus is found in the side quests of which there are only a dozen or so primary ones. And, of course, various things you find in the game such as bobblehead collectibles, books, and certain types of armor can further improve your stats. It's great for seeing the unique armor you find, but your character moves awkwardly and doesn't even look like he's interacting with the world he's standing on.
