Battling raiders, mutants and a host of radioactive nightmares, players attempt to save the scattered remnants of the human race.

Play Magazine
"You'll be capping scumbags left and right in a fireworks display of flesh and blood, going after the town prostitute's heisted jewelry or collecting giant scorpion tails for some much-needed extra cash, and things of this nature. [Feb 2004, p.42]"

PSM Magazine
"A surprisingly deep, well-written, and entertaining action RPG that offers lots of customization, co-op play, and a great game universe. [Mar 2004, p.28]"

"A competent and occasionally compelling hack-and-slash, but fans of the PC games won't give a damn about it, and "Champions of Norrath" is a more satisfying and more technically impressive example of the genre on the PlayStation 2." ... Read full review

"If you have any respect for the way games should be made then give Interplay a clear message that it simply has to do better than this to compete in the games market. Treat BOS with contempt it deserves and avoid it at all costs - even buying this at a budget price would be irresponsible." ... Read full review

This game isn't the greatest, but it for sure is a good time killer. These Fallout fanboys need to really get lives; though the game This game isn't the greatest, but it for sure is a good time killer. These Fallout fanboys need to really get lives; though the game might not be Fallout 3, it isn't the end of the world. I've played all the previous Fallout games, and the atmosphere (cold, dark and gritty) is faithfully recreated. The music is top-notch for a game with all sorts of metal bands being signed, the sounds however become quite repetative especially the "witty" comments your characters make sometimes after killing hordes of baddies. The game moves at a really quick pace, and feels pretty much like Gauntlet set in the middle of a wasteland. A really fun addition is the two-player mode, though alot of the time the game quickly degenerates into both players trying to horde the best items. Me and some friends have got into some pretty heated debates over who gets the new minigun we just found in a crate...… Expand

True a last ditch effort to save a dying company (rightfully so) this game is a mockery of the original Fallout Universe. The original used True a last ditch effort to save a dying company (rightfully so) this game is a mockery of the original Fallout Universe. The original used wit and humour (not to mention clippings from popular movies) that made the use of vulgar profanities funny. (exa. The bridgekeeper from Monty Python). The only thing at all funny in Fallout Tactics for PC was the clippings they had from Monty Python. Anyways, The game blows and the only reason I gave it a number at all is due that the developers have already bashed themselves enough. I'll give them the 1 for Stupidity. Fo3 would have gorssed much more profit (about 22000 in garunteed sales minimum; which is better than zero). I have to laugh at their repeated attempt to pawn off crap for the fallout universe. I made the mistake of buying Fallout Tactics the first time... I'm sure not going to do it twice. At $100 bucks a copy, I'd still buy Fo3... I wouldn't even accept being paid to take this mockery.… Expand

Fallout B.H.O.S is NOT the fallout that I became addicted to back in 1996. This game lacks everything that made Fallout 1 & Fallout 2 great. Fallout B.H.O.S is NOT the fallout that I became addicted to back in 1996. This game lacks everything that made Fallout 1 & Fallout 2 great. For example the game has no depth when compared to the previous Fallout games which revolutionised the RPG market. The freedom of being able to play the game however you wanted has been removed, and now you are simply forced into the roll of three goody two shoes lap dog type characters who do as they are told -where is the fun in that? Interplay has simply dumbed it down to suit what they see as a "mainstream" audience. This is a terrible case of selling out aswell as a giant leap backwards for a title that used to make some of the best RPG games on the market. I am a strong believer of the philosophy that if something isn't broken then don't fix it. I hope this isn't the new direction that the Fallout series is heading towards because that would be a great shame. I can't believe they scrapped Fallout 3 for this, what a crappy game. … Expand
