    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.

    The warm, fuzzy, post-apocalyptic world has all the little details and exactly the right tone. The immersive story has kept me up until the wee hours of the morn on many occasions.

    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. It is fully possible to smash orphans in the groin with a sledge hammer, if you are so inclined. The game suffers from a myriad of bugs in its original form, applying "Killap's Unofficial Fallout 2 Patch" removes most of the bugs and adds a bit of extra content.… Expand

    Bought it in '99 and still playing it after 12 years...that's all I have to say. The greatest RPG game of all time. Even with many bugs the game is almost perfect.… Expand

    A great game, but with some minor flaws. The music, atmosphere, and graphics are all excellent, as are the story and characters. However, the game seems unfinished; it's buggy; and (I think) it's a bit too difficult.… Expand

    It's fun for a while but if you don't know what to do (like me), the fun of checking a FAQ every 20 minutes is lost quickly.
