    Anyone who compares this to the Fallout games on the PC is making a huge mistake. Fallout: BoS is nothing like them, nor is it trying to be. This is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance in a post-apocalyptic world, and I think it rocks. It is a raw, unapologetic, violent romp thru a grungy wasteland, and incredibly fun, especially 2-player! What's not to love about beating the crap out of anything and everything that gets in your way?… Expand

    Bleh! This game is the stupidest, I ever heart of! I think it doesn't cost that 5 hours of downloading ilegal ISO! It is just taking space on my XBOX HD! I like love (and I prey for Fallout 3 everyday (stupid consloidistic Interplay, you ruined my dreams! - by fallout fan)) Fallout, but this is most stupid game, i ever play (and i played games from Cryo!) and what's even worse - it is destroying VERY GOOD name of Fallout. I hate it!… Expand

    What a disappointment! That game is a desicable act! An insult to the name Fallout. The graphics are neat, but the gameplay's HORRIBLE... Better head for the originals. They rock.

    Constant swearing and sexual innuendo does not make up for horrible gameplay.

    Well a friend recommended the fallout games to me, my PC is a bit old so i got the xbox version. Well I wish I much rather would have lit my $50 on fire at least that way I wouldn't have driven out of my way to get it and I wouldn't have to have wasted 8 hours of my life to get hear cursing like a 9 year old who just found a new dirty word to use. Avoid this... PS I have since tried out the original PC ones and well yeah they are made by totally different ppl. Too bad the company fired the creators of the original.… Expand

    The only disappointment I've had is not being able to trade caps or ammo and not being able to add or remove players in the middle of a game.

    I like this game, it's not like Fallout 1 & 2 on the PC but it's almost there, if you're a fan of FO for the PC you will like this one as well, it's a hit when playing it co-op with some of your mentally disfunctional friends and laughs about all the funny speeches throughout the game.

    If you like console actions games with rpg elements. You will like this game. Best played co-op, but still fun solo.

    This game is pretty bad. I can't believe I spent 50 dollars on this when I could have gotten Halo for my kid brother. Sigh.

    Like I posted in the PS2 thread, I managed to bag a copy of this for my high school newspaper preview and it isn't at all what I expected - I wasn't expecting the next best thing but it certainly managed to suck even more than I thought any game ever could. It's loaded with gratituous sex jokes and unfunny humor (if you like that sort of thing) but the gameplay is nonexistent. Stay away from this one! Just watch a Chris Rock comedy if you like jokes of the sort. This isn't worth your 50. … Expand

    A decent example of the genre and has some creative design, but it won't blow any minds or win many awards.

    What makes an otherwise solid action RPG mediocre is the obscenely slow and tedious beginning. [Mar 2004, p.101]

    There's practically no aspect that doesn't appear half-hearted. Black Isle's drawn-out death has undoubtedly poisoned Brotherhood, but it's hard to tell if there was ever a good game here to begin with. [May 2004, p.109]
