Not-so Fallout 3

Yes, many many people have waited for such a game as this. All the footage and hype that went into fallout 3 really got people excited about this long awaited sequel but I have bad news for the fanboys, it's not as good as you think.

Now, I'm not saying it's not good, it's just that this game is nothing but oblivion a couple millenia in the future. I got oblivion as a christmas gift last year and I drank in the spiked kool-aid that was it's entertaining gameplay and beautiful landscapes. After I wasted a few months of experimenting with said kool-aid, I decided to switch my attention to other delicious substances. Then when Fallout 3 came out, I eagerly drank some of the kool-aid just to slosh it around a bit, then spit it out because i'd grown sick of the familiar taste. It tasted like oblivion with a little bit of led mixed in. I didn't want to swollow solely because I was afriad it'd make me spaz out and die like many other fanboys ave done since it's release. This was better kool-aid then most of the other stuff I drank in lately but I'd still rather taste something new then taste something i'd been drinking for so long that it went down like water anyways. When I grew bored of oblivion, I didn't bother playing much between then and the release of Fallout 3 and in the few times I did, I put it away no more then an hour into play. When I popped in Fallout 3, I enjoyed it all the way up to when it kicked me out of the vault. After that point it became oblivion. Not oblivion V2.0 however, more like oblivion V1.1. They fixed a few things that annoyed me from the original but it only held my interest so long.

I give this game an 8.5 though. This may seem skewed due to what I said but if you still love oblivion, or never played it before then you will love it more then an anime kitty with a rainbow backdrop. Also, this is not meant to be a review even though I gave it a score. This is because I played it more then enough to review it, I just decided it was easier to give it the label “Oblivion clone” and call it good cause I can't describe much better and anybody reading this I would assume has played one or the other(or both) and can probably visualize what I mean.
