Video Game Reviews of Fallout 1 / Fallout 2 Bundle (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: Hours and Hours of Re-Play Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
These two games are great. They are very similar so if you've played one and didn't like it stay away from both.The game is old, so people who enjoy flashy game play may not like this as much, but to those who enjoy games with re-play and multiple options will enjoy this game.
The plot line itself is linear, and won't really change depending on what you do, but you can do so many things with you character that its worth re-playing for that simple fact.
Fallout 1 is relatively easy. An average player (like myself) could easily beat it within a week or serious game play. Fallout 2 though is much more difficult, but has more options and is more fun. I still have yet to beat Fallout 2 despite many hours of playing, but then I suck and video games.
To very hardcore players the games may be too easy, and a lack of multiplayer may send away a lot of new players. But for those of us with crappy internet still and too much free time, this is incredibly action/rpg/turn-based video game.
Customer Review: Fallout and Fallout two are my favorite role playing games
Summary: 5 Stars
Fallout is almost perfect. It is set in an almost barrenwasteland. The graphics are a bit dated but the games are
not. You can play almost any type of game character, you
set the environmental options, and you have fun. They are
quite replayable and interesting. You get a large area to
explore, you fight and learn(they have books in the game to
read), and you fight the good fight or the bad fight.
Your reputation counts. It is not very difficult to learn while
the puzzles fit into the game and can be figured out.
Customer Review: 2 for the price of 1!?!
Summary: 5 Stars
for the price, there is no reason that every house hold in america doesnt have a copy of both theses games. fallout was a huge deal when it came out in late '97 and both these games are very playable to this day. if you didnt buy them when they were first released you are also in luck because (for the most part) they have been de-bugged. when fallout was first shipped it was in a almost completly unplayable form because of the glitches and bugs. the dreaded car bug from fallout 2 has also been fixed. when trying to describe these games to my friends the best I can usually come up with is, "its about as close as you'll ever get to mad max the video game." because it definatly has that road warrior style and look. if I had to pick a favorite it would probably be the sequel, even though the story is inferior to the first one,just because it has more weapons, more quests, and the game play is just as good. bottom line is that if you dont have these games then give them a try because you cant go wrong at that price.
Customer Review: God has given us a sign of the future....
Summary: 5 Stars
And that future is that Fallout 3 must COME OUT!! Seriously, these games have it all. If you like the BG series, buy these games. If you utterly HATE those games (like me), BUY THESE GAMES! It's cheap! I'd pay $80. I had these burned from a friend, but still bought the Duel Jewel when it came out (I couldn't believe it). The Manuel IS in there, it's on the disk. This game is so good that D&D 3E stole half it's system from it (exp and "Feats"). Blackisle is caught up with stoopid D&D games, but when it all falls through, you bet your @$$ they'll be back to the OG: Fallout. Tactics and the new console game aren't really fallout, just Interplay cashing in on the series. Lionheart uses the same system as FO, so definately buy this game. Buy Arcanum as well: Fantasy done right!Customer Review: Survive, If You Can....
Summary: 5 Stars
Fallout and Fallout 2 are, hands down, some of the best RPG games in the history of PC gaming. If you're into RPG's, and you don't already have a copy of either one of these, I SERIOUSLY recommend picking both of them up.Fallout takes you to post-apocalyptic California, where you have survived as a third generation child of an underground bunker called Vault 13. Your elder comes to you to tell you that the water purification system has malfunctioned, and you need to find a replacement chip to fix it. From there, all hell breaks loose as you battle raiders, monsters, and a slew of mutated creatures, all changed by the severe radiation poisoning the world has been left with. Pick up weapons, develop your skills, and explore the landscape for answers to your people's salvation.
Fallout 2 takes you some 80 years after the first title. You are a decendent of the hero of the first Fallout game, and need to help your village survive a horrid drought by finding a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK). This item will help your people to grow new crops, and bring a new era of civilization to the tribals. After that, you're left to find answers to where the sacred Vault 13 is, and whether or not you can get a GECK to save your people with. You'll battle similar enemies from the first title, plus an assortment of new baddies. You'll get some different weapons, and the command interface is a little more user friendly.
The best part of these games is the freedom elements. Don't want to complete that mission? Then don't! Many of the quests are optional, so you can choose which ones you want to complete. You can attack just about anyone (provided you can fight off their friends), steal from people, or be a helpful vigilante and bring justice to the wastelands.
This game should only be viewed by mature audiences because of sexual situations and coarse dialogue. So, if you're 17 or older and want a game that you'll play again and again, pick up Fallout and Fallout 2.
