"In any case, I'm scraping the barrel for things to pick holes in. Fallout 3 has been by some margin the most enjoyable game I've played since BioShock - a game with which it shares a similar artistic vision and ambience. Despite so many worries, Fallout 3 almost effortlessly succeeds in its central aim of reviving a much-loved brand to appeal to the vast majority of players. It's a THRILLING, ALL-CONSUMING EXPERIENCE THAT WILL ABSORB YOU FOR WEEKS, whether you're attracted by the action, the adventure, or the role-playing, as you fall in love with the relentless excitement, incredible atmosphere, sense of place and sheer choice. Bethesda has once again delivered a game of life-affirming brilliance that will be heralded as a CLASSIC, and talked about for years to come."
