Description of the game: Fallout 3 is an interesting Role Playing game that takes place in an open world with almost endless opportunity for exploration and making decisions. In the game, there is no black or white options. Only shades of grey. There is no out right good or bad decisions, and most decisions you make will affect what happens in the game.

Game Play: Every run through of the game gives the player the opportunity to try something different. The karma system itself increases replay value of the game. With each decision you make, an influence to the general game. The map also appears to be endless with almost the sense that the map goes on forever.

The bad point is that the game play may be very short if you stick to the main storyline. You will have to take the time to travel the world and abandon the main line quest for a while to truely explore the world. For example, you have the opportunity to blow up a citycalled megaton, which would give you alot of bad karma.

However, what makes the game even better than it is is the 4 DLCs released fr the game which adds value to the game. Lengthening gameplay value and time.

Graphics:
Graphics wise the game is immensely fantastic. Even on a low speced computer, the game runs amazingly well, however, certain expect of the graphics have to be turned off.

Sound:
Zuir did a very good job with the sounds in the game. However, it has to be noted the music in the radio station tends to be boring after a while as they are almost on an endless loop with the occasional voice of 3-dog.

Conclusion:
The Game is a fantastic game that truely has surpassed the defination of open world as there is almost no representation of a loading screen in the game. In a world that is that large, the feeling that there is almost no loading screen is amazingly unique for a game of that scale.
