Video Game Reviews of Fallout 1 / Fallout 2 Bundle (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: War.War has changed.
Summary: 5 Stars
A long time ago, RPG's took place in Past-lands and involved epic swordfights and the slaying of Giant Rats, Spiders, Minotaurs, and just about every other Mythological creature from Alabi-jam.
That isnt the case with Fallout.
Fallout takes a Stark turn at the typical hack and slash Swordfighting RPGs, and goes in an entirely new direction.
The story is as followed: Life Sucks. America has Annexed Canada, Nuclear Catastrophe has left the world barren and destroyed, and to make matters worse, your dropped right into the middle of it. Deserts abound.
Now like I said, this isnt a Hack and Slash RPG. I was suprised to find I liked this combat BETTER then Hack and Slash (And just to iron out all the comments that may say: "Biased!", I am a Huge Diablo fan).
Since its entirely Turn-Based action, yes, The Combat is just a little bit slower, but you are required to think and plan your moves carefully.
Now upon starting Fallout, you are gifted upon 3 Pre-set characters: "Charismatic but not very strong, strong but not very smart, and a Female who I believe is a bit of both.) While you are allowed to cut corners and choose a pre-set character, the real fun/complexity comes from making one yourself. You are able to choose your name, age, and stats ranging from Agility, to Strength, to Intelligence. You are also able to tag 2 special Traits to give you an advantage. A word of caution, pick VERY Carefully, one mis-calculation, and it could be the meaning of life or death..
Now Then, The atmosphere in Fallout is grade A, Top-Notch quality. Upon leaving your Vault (Underground Fallout Shelter) where you have everything needed to survive, you are suddenly tasked with trying to survive. The game is designed to give you a constant feeling of uncertainty once you have left the comfort of your Vault. It always makes you think: "What if?" or "But now what..?".
So definitely get this package if your mildly interested in RPGs, or just love a massive game with seemingly endless amounts of Replay Value.
Customer Review: great game but get the collection instead.

An RPG with turn based combat, guns and and the ability to slaughter children.

Customer Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This Game is great and so was the shape of the game. I will be buying from them again.Customer Review: Substance over blingbling
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the top 10 rpg games of all time, some say the best. It is a testemant to why substance is so much greater than bling, and is considered one of the defining games of the genre. Of all the RPGs I have played, this is one of two that has a permanent spot of my Hard Disk (other being Torment). If you have never played it you owe it to yourself to do so, if only to see what makes for a truly great game.
Yes, the graphics are out-dated. Yes the battle is turn-based. Yes, this is the example of how it is to be done. You will in fact appreciate turn based battle after experiencing Fallout and Fallout2. And you will see how these graphics in fact add to the game play not take away from it. They set the atmosphere of the game (dirty).
There is something very satisfying about hearing the "SPLAT" followed by the "AAAAAAAAH" as a circle of flesh blows out from the side of an advancing Mutant, caused by your Shotgun blast (with the gun affectionately known as the Pancor JackHammer).
And just as satisfying is the "ZZZZT" "UUUUUUUUUH" you get from frying some punk, using your energy weapon. A great four seconds of animation as you watch the vermin's body zizzle from top down then bottom up, skelotal remains finalling falling to the ground in a "THUMP".
Or if you prefer the really big guns, you can go for something like the Flame Thrower. Good Golly Molly, how long can that guy run around burning aflame before he becomes a final crispy critter mess.
And unlike many games with sequels, both these games are very worth playing. You will enjoy all aspects of the game from character creation, to battle, to quests, to researching online how to enhance your game playing experience. Get it while you can. It is becomming more and more rare.
"Once more into the breach my friend".
