Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game Review (Saucy Man)
Finally finished the game that started it all (so to speak)
If you've played Fallout 3,4, or New Vegas but have never played the original the main difference is that Fallout 1 is a 2D turn based shooter unlike it's 3D fps-style successors. From what I've heard prior to myself playing this game, is that it's much more difficult than more of the recent releases in the series, due to the combat system, but that in my opinion makes it more unique and fun. My biggest quarrel is it may take adjusting to get used to said combat system, potential difficulty, and if you don't like the 2D Fallout games.
As of reviewing this, I've yet to play Fallout 2 (which I've heard is more popular) however, having played Fallout 3 and onward I feel as though I can firmly rank Brian Fargo's Fallout just below New Vegas in terms of how much I liked it...
TL:DR
Is the original Fallout the best game in the series? well, no. But is it the worst? Hell no, it's far from that!
Because of how much I enjoyed, and liked about this masterpiece, I give this a 4.5/5.
