  • Summary: It's been 80 long years since your ancestor trod across the wastelands. As you search for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit to save your primitive village, your path is strewn with crippling radiation, megalomaniac mutants, and a relentless stream of lies, deceit, and treachery. You begin to wonder if anyone really stands to gain anything from this brave new world. [Interplay]… Expand

    Few RPGs provide so deft a balance between the wandering monster-slaying and the NPC interaction phases of role-playing.

    Nothing short of superb - it takes "Fallout," expands upon it, enriches it, enhances it in so many ways that it makes one feel as if the original was immature.

    This year's post-apocalyptic nuclear Christmas experience won't be as good as it was last year. Lack of improvement over the first and a high number of bugs are the main reasons.

    Absolutely the best RPG game I've ever played. It is a true non-linear game that lets you do pretty much whatever you want.

    I wanted to love this game. I had just finished Fallout (9/10), and was getting underway. Then I would reload a game and my primary weapon would cease to have existed. That kind of bug, and no patches in years kills what might have been a rewarding and entertaing RPG.… Expand
