Product description
Vault 101 - Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

As for more information on the game - well, I shall leave those rather more details reviews to gaming enthusiasts who might also have brought the game and have fare more to say that I - simply saying it is a great game doesn't tell one much, but I am not really sure what more there is to say.
Exploring the world is a great way to spend your time in this game. The graphics of the wasteland help to represent the idea that this is a destroyed and wrecked world. The random encounters with wild and dangerous creatures help to immerse the player in a world which is not all as safe.
You deal with the enemies in an FPS/RPG mashup. There is a slow-motion feature called V.A.T.S. which is exciting to use, as you deal with probabilities of hitting the target and watching the events play out in a cinematic way. The voice acting and NPC interaction works really well and brings you into the game's amusing and complex story. Each mission has several objectives and outcomes, which allows for interesting plot developments and allows the player to feel the reprocussions of each major choice. The ending is fantastic and really reflects the game's tone.
Overall, Fallout 3 is a fantastic game and well worth checking out. The graphics and story segments particularly make this game one of the most finely crafted pieces of videogame history.
I want to give the game a four star rating but what I really want to do is give Bethesda a piece of my mind for having so many customers (some of whom seem loyal buying oblivion, skyrim, etc) have to go through all this hassle for a game that is now coming up for 6 years old.
Bit of a problem getting it to run without the disk, and I wish I could remember what I did to make it work but what I am doing is going to windows explorer (NOT INTERNET EXPLORER) the folder icon, computer, local disk, program files x86 (probably not the same for 32 bit operating systems) bethesda softworks and selecting fallout 3.
So thats how I make it work.

However I do offer a warning that this game is very buggy. As many fellow reviewers have experienced problems also; all I have to say is those bugs can be fixed easily if you are willing to persist. My initial bug was to do with the AA being enabled in the game despite my computer being more than capable of playing this game on maximum settings with AA enabled the game would not start, crashing to desktop after a few seconds. With AA disabled from the launcher I was able to start the game, this then brought on more crashing at random intervals (These are known problems with the game and engine, and are well documented with fixes on the internet). In response to another review, this game will run on Windows 7 without needing to use compatibility mode.
The fix: iNumHWThreads=2, is a fix for most systems. However if you have more than 2 cores feel free to experiment with this up to the limit of cores you have. I have an 8 core CPU and I have this value set to 8, lower and I was limiting the performance the game could access (Which did appear in framerate testing) and I have no problems with random crashing.
Not all people who buy this game may experience these issues but those who do; be methodical in your approach, changing one setting at a time. Do not let those small issues detract you from playing a brilliant, well designed and thought out game with plenty of replay value.
There are also plenty of mods and tweaks available for this game. Most tweaks for bug fixing and general improvements can be done through editing the FALLOUT.ini file, I advise you to refer to the tweak guide before editing any settings and to always make a backup before you start.
Overall I loved this game despite it being a very rough diamond, but with time spent editing you can make it shine more and you will appreciate the time spent editing files.
