  • Fallout2

    Few RPGs provide so deft a balance between the wandering monster-slaying and the NPC interaction phases of role-playing. Both elements are involving and demanding. Dialogue-tree conversations can seem a little repetitive when you're interviewing everyone in a town, but the development of the plot never seems forced and the game can actually be played in a very non-linear way.There's no pre-scripted course, and you can visit any location in any order. Assembling the puzzle pieces of information that lead you closer to the GECK doesn't rely on an established sequential chain; the discoveries come haphazardly and the game unfolds in different ways dependent on your choices.

Fallout 2 is a must play

The title says it all. It is a must play game for RPG lovers and gamers of all types. I was a little stand offish about this game when I first saw it but when I finally sat down with it I was hooked. This is one of thoe games you have to spend time with to really enjoy. Its not casual but not to overly technical either. It would probably take about 30 mins for you to get a feel for the game, how things work and how it controlls. The games graphics are good and most likely dated by todays standards. The visuals are nice and not to grand that you need a top performance pc to play. The story is the best part. Its so entertaining it keeps you playing just to see what happens next, like an interactive book. Theres multiple story branches and endings as well. So nothings the same when you play again. Theres tons of side quests that allow you to complete them anyway you see fit. Its almost like mercenaries or GTA if your looking for a good comparison. The controls are easy. Its all point and click mostly. Easy to maneuver. The combat is turned based and uses AP (action Points) to determine how many moves you can make a turn. This makes the game seem more strategic. Unlike most RPGs set in a medieval fantasy setting Fallout 1 and 2 allow you to use guns, there are some melee weapons but its mostly about guns. The guns are great. Since Fallout 2 is som much like Fallout this review applies for both. With Fallout 3 coming I would get both if you havent played them yet. Check on ebay and such. I got both for $15. These games are very good and I higly reccomend them to anyone looking for a good pc RPG.
