About this product

Product Information

A nuclear holocaust has turned Washington, DC, into a radioactive wasteland. Mutant creatures freely roam the land while a select few survivors live safely within underground shelters engineered by the Vault-Tec Corporation. Your uneventful life inside the vault takes a dramatic turn when your father mysteriously disappears. Looking for answers, you begin a journey into the great unknown -- a test of survival in an inhospitable environment. Based on the acclaimed post-apocalyptic role-playing series from former publisher Interplay, Fallout 3 features a wide-open world viewed from a choice of first- or third-person perspectives.<br><br>Developed by the team behind the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and featuring the same graphics engine, Fallout 3 has you embarking on an assortment of quests while exploring, scavenging, and battling for your continued existence. Scrap-metal cities and rusted shantytowns are sources of human contact, but in between them lurk a number of hostile threats. The real-time combat is modeled after shooting games, albeit with the option to pause time for more precise shots using V.A.T.S. (the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System). V.A.T.S. lets you pinpoint vulnerability areas with the help of percentage markers displayed on each body part. The higher the percentage, the likelier you are to hit the highlighted area. <br><br>Aiming at a particular body part can cripple it, affecting the enemy's ability to use an arm or leg in combat, while critical hits result in graphic displays of dismemberment. Defeating enemies earns you experience points to enhance your character's stats and acquire abilities called "perks," or specific talents in a chosen area of expertise. Fallout 3 also features some camaraderie in the form of a loyal canine named Dogmeat and a non-player character of your choosing. A licensed soundtrack with songs from the '40s and '50s helps set the mood, offering such hits as "Way Back Home," "Anything Goes," "Butcher Pete," and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire."

    Great- but, grab the Game of the Year Edition if you can

    This is probably the best bang for your buck as far as modern Fallout games go. However, you will be missing a ton of added content if you don't go for the game of the ear or complete editions of the game- things that make the game much friendlier for new players, and allow for a better experience in a wasteland world that's very scarce on resources. That makes this normal version of the game significantly more challeging to play.

    Great game but bad port

    Fallout 3 is a classic title in the fallout franchise but playing this gem on ps3 is a bittersweet adventure, the game looks and plays fine but you can't play for more than an hour at a time without it freezing your console.

  • Fallout 3 for PS3

    I'm usually wary of buying used games but buy them when they are hard to find or a great price. This game was in great condition, it was in it's original case and had the manual included and the disc had no scratches.

  • One of my all time favs.

    One of my all time favorite games Fallout 3 when released was one of the most groundbreaking games of its time. Taking what Bethesda had already done (oblivion) and expanded on it exponentially. It is probably my favorite game of all time and I recommend it to anyone who's into RPGs. Shooter fans may be disappointed as the games shooting is somewhat wonky and overshadowed by the VATS feature. To wrap this up just buy it, great game.

  • Fun game series

  • It’s good

    Fallout 3 is a good game. Graphics don’t really matter to me as it is an old ps3 title but story and characters are pretty good.
