Summary: Fallout 2 the best thing going for RPGers right now!
Review: I've played Fallout 2 for about a month now, and I have never seen a better post-apocalyptic RPG than this. All the weapons and armor really add an element of diversity that make game-play much more interesting. If you've played Fallout 1, it makes it a lot easier, though just as much fun. There are hidden jokes all throughout the game that will make you laugh, not to mention all the crazy characters you meet and missions you do. If you've been looking for an RPG that's not all fantasy and technically could happen, this is definately the game for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic game
Review: If you want a top-class RPG, look no further. Fallout 2's unique premise, plot, and combat system set it apart from other games.

Your mission in post-apocalyptic California is to save your tribe by finding the fabled Garden of Eden Creaion Kit, or G.E.C.K. That's just the bare minimum for completing the game, however. Along the way you encounter gangs, mutants, slavers-just about anything you can imagine. All of whom want to come along with you.

While all this is happening, you're having to fight tooth and nail across the seemingly endless wastes in search of your ultimate goal. The completely non-linear storyline lets you reach the G.E.C.K. just about any way you want, too. And the game doesn't end once you find it, either.

"So how do fight all this way?" you might be asking. The Fallout 2 combat system, although turn based, flows amazingly well. Not to mention you can do almost anything you can think up. There is an assortment of countless weapons and armor to outfit yourself and allies with. And you'd better outfit your allies if you want to survive, too.

Now the part that you've all been waiting for, the bugs. Sorry to dissapoint you, but I've had almost no problems on my archaic computer. I don't think that it's ever frozen or crashed once.

All in all, Fallout 2 blew my gaming world apart and I'm still playing it after 2 years. If you haven't bought it yet, do so whenever you get the chance.

Summary: Extremely addicting
Review: In my whole life of being a gamer, this is my favorite RPG ever! The game is non-linear at all, meaning you can do whatever you want (and i mean what ever you want!) You can go from being man-hunting slavers, professional boxers, and even being a porn star for crying out loud. The endless possiblities of choice is what makes this game incredibly unique.

The combat system is surprisingly smooth, and its fun shooting people in the groin to stun them. I must warn you though, this game is meant for very mature players. The vision of a post-apacalyptic wasteland is not for the casual gamer. Explicit language is very common, as well as gore (but the graphics are laughable compared to today's more modern stuff,) and abuse of women, and drugs. I can guarentee you that this game is unlike any other you've played.

Simply amazing....

Summary: Man o' Man, you need this game...
Review: Ok, lets put it this way, this game blows every other RPG out of the water. It has excellent visuals and sounds, plus a viriety of installation methods. With 100 different weapons and military devices, you can be a walking army. I got this game close to a year and a half ago, and couldn't stop playing for 6 months. The great thing is, once you beat it (and it take forever to, becuase of all the quests and such) you can keep playing! There are so many different characters that there is an unlimited supply of people to talk to, barter with or kill. I had no idea how they had the capacity to make such a great game. Just buy it, you'll see ;)

Summary: Fallout 2
Review: Plain and simple people, ive played this game on and off for about 5 years, buy it, give it a try, and welcome to the world that is Fallout. Forget sleep, maybie even bathroom trips, because your not going to belive how amazing this game really is for its age.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you liked Fallout, then the sequel is worth playing.
Review: Set in the same world as the original, Fallout 2 places you as a descendent of the vault dweller from Fallout 1. Your village is dying, and you are sent into the world to find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit. Your quest takes you all over the ruined Midwest and West coast. The only downside is that it's just like fallout, with only small improvements to the character interaction modules. A great game? No, but a good one, and worth the money if you really liked the original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow. I need a sixth star here...
Review: Some games rise above others, but there are a precious few that look down from above the clouds. Fallout 2 is one of those. The best thing about it is that everything matters. If you make a smart, fast character, you'll never carry a lot of gear or use a lot of the bigger weapons. If you make a strong, tough character, you'll be too dumb to notice special little things or to convince people to help you out. That's simplifying it, too; there are tons of available options and your character is fully customizable, and all of these details have tangible game effects.

Fallout 2 is also pretty hard, but not too hard. I don't enjoy cakewalk games, and this definitely isn't one. Your companions have an annoying habit of getting themselves killed, and it's up to you to keep it from happening. If you do stupid things, the enemies WILL kill you too, and quickly.

Last but not least, the humor--sometimes cornball and sometimes not--that permeates the game draws from everything from Monty Python (you can meet the bridgekeeper from Holy Grail! ) on down. I've laughed myself to tears a couple of times.

This game lacks only one thing: stunning visuals. And I promise, you'll be too engrossed in the game to worry about those. Fallout 2 = Must Buy.

Summary: The heir of Wasteland
Review: The game Wasteland has been considerd by many to be the classic computer based RPG, it was MAD MAX meets TERMINATOR. A nuclear war had been fought and mankind was struggling out of the wreckage but was suddnely faced with the threat of annihilation by the machines. That was were you came in to save the day by journeying through a world after the bomb. It was in depth and exciting with alot of replayability. But after Wasteland there was a void there were some good RPGs but none had the "magic" that Wasteland had that is until now. Fallout II is one of two best RPGs I have ever played (the other for sentimental reasons is Wasteland). Some of the annoying features of the first Fallout have been remedied such as being able to pick your traveling companions weapons and armor. There are alot of subplots within the game as well as the main plotline so you always have something to do, I never really experienced a deadend when I didn't have a clue what to do. The storyline is alot like Wasteland with an after the bomb theme and the need to save the surviving world from some ominous "threat". I had hours of enjoyment journeying through towns that looked like they came out of a Mad Max movie and then suddenly finding towns and settlements that had preserved technology and civillization. The interaction with Non Player characters was very nice with important characters having animated sequences when you spoke with them, this was cool from an enterainment standpoint but also let you know when you had found someone important to solving the game. Combat was very efficient with lots of weapons and weapon options. Be advised the combat can be GORY but there is a feature to disable it for those who prefer a santized version.
