It's a good and entertaining action RPG provided you can ignore the fact that it was supposed to be a Fallout game and mentally block that aspect of it, and if you can do the same about the silly (amusement park) setting. The game looks pretty good, offers you a huge world to explore with many atmospheric locations, challenging combat, and quite a few interesting quests.
Compared to the first two Fallout games, Fallout 3 is a pale imitation that may anger many fans of the original games. However, comparing Fallout 3 to similar games like Morrowind, Oblivion, Gothic, Two Worlds, Assassins Creed, etc presents a much more favourable reaction. I think that it's the best game Bethesda have produced since the Daggerfall days and that really says something about the game. The most important feature of the game is the promise of great things to come from Bethesda in the future, so let's get those monkeys out of the office and kick some ass. God knows, it's been long overdue.

More addictive than Jet or Rad-X, Fallout 3 is quite simply a stunning example of a game that would have been impossible a couple of years ago. A living, breathing game world that has few equals; Bethesda has topped Oblivion with Fallout 3 and has made quite possibly the best role-playing game of all time. So enter this post-apocalyptical world and prepare to be amazed.
