Fallout 3
+ Huge environment
+ Unbelievable attention to detail
+ Near infinite dialogue possibilities
+ Immersive plot
+ Nice, well optimised graphics
+ Infinite number of plot pathways, sidemissions etc - your actions have an effect on everything that happens
+ Character customisation, skills, levels, perk add alot of interest
+ Interesting setting/environments to explore
= Ambient sounds add good atmosphere but begin to grate after a while
- Player movement feels very awkward - like you're floating around everywhere
- Third person player animations could be better, also alot of the animations in the game look like they were rushed during production
- Combat sections are a little weak, the first person shooter aspect of the game is not as good as it should be to achieve a good balance between RPG and FPS
- Stability issues with some users still not fixed
In short: A fantastic, immersive game but unfortunately the developers have put so much attention to detail they've missed some of the more important basic aspects.
