It's been 16 years and this game still holds up to the test of time with its amazing open world exploration. Yes the graphics are dated. And the PS3 takes some time to load. But this game is still amazing.

I’m a collector and I purchased this trusting the description, which states that a map and poster are included. Game looks decent but only has map. I only wanted the poster. Thanks for the backup copy, anyway.

The game itself, with the 5 download packs, is still great. The expansions vary in their levels of quality, but overall for the price a regular game, you will receive that plus $50 worth of additional content (if you had bought on the PSN Store). The problem is not with game content, but rather freezing issues. The darn thing keeps freezing at random spots, which has resulted in having to save after doing anything that you don't want to risk having to do over. It really takes away from the gaming experience, and is the only reason I did not rate this release as an excellent, 5 star affair. If you can tolerate the bugs, then prepare for one of the best Action-RPG experiences you will ever place your hands on.
After being a long time player of Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout 3, I was really excited to play Fallout 3: Game of the Year with all the added content. The basic game play of Fallout 3 is similar to other Bethesda games such as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The environment is open world and brimming with detail. There are plenty of caves, canyons, and city ruins to explore. The map is very large and open ended. The player truly gets a feel of this post apocalyptic future as he/she travels through it. The game qualifies as a Shooter / RPG. There is an emphasis on guns and although it is possible to use only melee weapons, it really isn't practical. There is a lot of violence and foul language (giving it an M ESRB rating) but it is not distasteful. The best features of the game are the sheer amount of content. At ant point you will have plenty of activities and quests to do. The characters are well designed and you will experience an attachment or hate of characters as they come. The add-ons are well made and fit very well into the story. Some of the add-ons are short, taking only 5 hours or so to complete, but with 5 extra add-ons, they are more than enough to make the Game of the Year addition worth the extra cost. The player can play as a variety of character types with emphasis on certain skills such as sneak, science, barter etc., and choosing a path of Good or Evil. This gives opportunities for multiple play-throughs with different experiences. The worst aspects of the game are numerous bugs and glitches. At one point this reviewer had the game freeze and lock-up on average once every hour. Sometimes enemies will fall through the floor and characters will float, get stuck or otherwise act unusually. Also, sometimes quests will not work as they are supposed to, and the difficulty balance of the add-ons can be skewed if the play attempts them early into the adventure. These glitches and bugs did not affect game play so much that this reviewer would stop playing and if you are familiar with the original Fallout 3, these won't be any worse or better that what you've already experienced. Overall, Fallout 3: GotY is an great adventure with only minor technical quirks keeping it from attaining excellence, and would be appropriate for new and veteran gamers of the Fallout 3 world.Read full review
This is an awesome game that will keep you busy for hours. The Game of The Year Edition means you will get all the downloadable content that came out after the game released. Each download adds even more hours of gameplay. Even if you have never played the other fallouts, Fallout3 is easy to understand and play. For those who have played fallout series before, you can change the difficulty to challenge yourself. The biggest flaw with the game is all of the glitches it has. It freezes randomly or gets stuck in a loop, forcing you to restart from your last save. I noticed with my new 160gig PS3, there are a lot less glitches and it hardly ever freezes. But with my old 60gig it froze quite frequently. So to sum it up this is a great game that almost anybody can get into no matter what types of game you enjoy to play.Read full review
