The Fallout Series are great! August 2, 2008
I actually bought this package over a year ago and forgot to leave a response (oops).
But it is a remarkable package!
Fallout 1 has to be my favourite out of the whole package, it must be said it is a fascinating game!
It has crude and sometimes sick humour, but that's exactly what i love about this game, it's hilarious.
Fallout 2 is ok, i'm finding it a bit slow to start with (unless you're not meant to use guns at all in it....) but still a good game.
The Brotherhood of Steel game is all right.
It has taken quite a bit of slating from the hardcore fans, but it does what it intended to do.
Make a squad based Brotherhood of Steel game.
It didn't do it as well as i had expected, but hey, see it as a "bonus game" to Fallout 1 and 2.
There was only one problem that i did find (might be my system however).
When i run this game on Windows XP (even after changing properties to Windows 95) it would only play on a very small section in the centre of my scree, with the rest blanked out.
You know, like when you see a widescreen film and it has those black strips?
So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, i'll be glad to take them.
I would recommend this game to all RPG fans, veteran Fallout players (you know who you are!) and people who love games because of their humour.

I baught the series on dvd just because I beleived the series would be patched and would save messing arround each time I install. Needless to say the patches are on the dvd but they are the old CD patches. Also most of the mods online change the installation to look for a CD. Anyway I won't try to beat any of the reviews on here, fallout 1+2 have been the cause of countless sleepless nights for me and have always stayed in the pile of games to play through again. If you like rpg's and have a lot of paitence you will be well rewarded. If you don't maybe you would be better off with a game you don't need a brain to play!
Never had so much fun with a game ever May 7, 2008

This genre is right up my street something I love highly its got steampunk+cyberpunk+gangstas! It has humour, mutants what more could you ask for!
yes it is a little old but its a classic World of Warcraft and other online games should take note of these two little gems!
Lets hope Stargate Worlds and the Fallout 3 are worthy of being sat besides these classics.
guut game and a classic February 16, 2008

Ever since playing the original Fallout in the late 90s it became and still is the yardstick by which I judge all other RPGs. The post-nuclear world of Fallout is packed full of great details and genuine humour, the over arcing stories of both games would seem a little simplistic if summarised here but the shear number of side quests and possible random encounters quickly turn your story into an intricately weaved one.
Gameplay wise, almost everything about Fallout is spot on, the skills system is simple but versatile and allows all kinds of different characters to be created and developed, to take advantage of the several different approaches to working through the adventure. The turn based combat is the best suited to this type of RPG that I have seen. To many times in RPGs your character can be splatted if you don't click the mouse fast enough, no matter how highly skilled they are supposed to be in combat. The use of hexes, turns and action points probably sounds old fashioned but it works brilliantly and allows for thoughts other than blind panic to influence your actions. And is well worth it when you get your first critical-kill and rend your opponent's torso in half with a shotgun blast.
The 2D isometric graphics are obviously looking a little dated these days but they pack in a lot of detail and portray the atmosphere of the ruined earth well. Most importantly they don't fall foul of the usual problem in this type of game that essential items and interactive points in the environment are too difficult to see because of pernickity graphics. Everything is clear and as obvious as they should be, and all interactable items can be flagged up on screen with the hit of a button.
All in all, both Fallout and Fallout 2 are fun, engrossing and sprawling stories to play through. I'm sure they'll be regarded as milestones in PC RPGs and are at least notable as two of the rare, excellent non-D
