Fallout Tactics was a lot of fun, However if you have really enjoyed the other fallout games you may not like it as much. Fallout Tactics is an almost pure action game with very little non violent gameplay. At first I was a bit dissapointed because I expected the vast freedom of Fallout 2, but when I got past that it actually became very enjoyable. My reccomendation is to buy it, but dont see it as part of the Fallout RPG series

WOW is all I can say..

Don't get me wrong this game is awesome, and fun, but the amount of bugs in this game makes it unbearable to play at times and extremely easy, and what really stinks is that after two patches it is still filled with bugs. All I can say is save often becuase the game will crash on you multiple times.

Great Game

Some people don't like this game because it is very different from fallout 1 or 2. But think about it. Fallout 1 and 2 were made by Black Isle and Fallout Tactics was made by Interplay. I personally think this game is better than both Fallout 1 and 2. Remember, if you think this is anything like an RPG you're wrong. I didn't think I'd like this game, but when I borrowed it from a friend totally got hooked to it. This is a game that actually takes skill. That is why I love it.

Fun game but...

It's full of crash bugs.

If you have played the prvious two Fallout's, you will really like the changes made in Tactics. The 3dish aspect is much welcomed and the strategic style fighting rather than turn based (although you can turn on the turn based) makes the game much more exciting.

The worst part is, 5 out of 10 times of starting the game, I get booted to my desktop and have to try again. Sometimes I have to reboot my computer due to hard lockup's. While my computer may not be configured EXACTLY right, I do not have these problems with many of my games (and I play them all).

Good Game...

Overall this game is pretty fun, and it kept me busy for 3 months (I can only waste my time on sundays)
the bad parts:

Controls: the controls are pretty complicated but I got the hang of it because I play alot of RTS anyways, but if you dont you will have a hard time controling your 3-4 man army.

Bugs: they are some bugs that didnt bother me but there is this one bug that you cant see the insides of the building if you walk in. That really annoyed me alot especially if the have people shooting at you.

Melee characters dont shine on this game: If your that type of person like myself. That want to beat the sense out of your enemies with a slegehammer. Well im sorry to disappoint you but after the 5th or 6th mission your better strap up because you will get gunned down before you even get near your enemies. The most disappointing thing is that the sneak skill is useless. Thats right, if you thinking fallout 2 where you can critically punch a deathclaw in the eye and deal 343 damage think again. It doesnt work here if you even try sneak towards a person you will get caught and your cant even sneak again. even if you hide behind a wall. Its such a shame. Ive been using melee characters since baldur's Gate. To me guns and magic are for p****es. This game doesnt give any melee characters a fighting chance.

Get the Bad Gear or Get Owned: Just like the previous fallout games.. at the time were the baddies get Miniguns, pulse rifles and Power Armor. Small guns and rocket launchers become useless and you are forced to use energy weapons. Fallout 2 had a mega power fist that rocked. well the mega power fist sucks on power armor this game.

Linear Story: The story is linear and it will turn many fallot fans off. You are forced to do th 20 missions or you are screwed.

Overall the game is fun. dont let my negative talk prevent you from buying the game. You can make a character of any type except melee which increase the fun factor and replay value. The are even perks (were you can get a bonus or have a unique skill) some of then are useless (like hear and now) If your a fan of RTS or fallout games you will love this game. Its pretty cool and quite difficult. I love games that are hard, but if you dont like hard games look elsewhere, or set the difficulty on easy.

Fallout Tactics in a Nutshell

Of all the Fallout games this is the only one that focuses on combat more than anything. This isn't the regular Fallout RPG because you lose a ton of plot. If you played the other two Fallouts (1 and 2) then this is a must! Though in my opinion you should probably play those first. You get backround knowledge and it just makes the game a lot more fun.

I only give this 4 stars in fun because it can be extremely difficult at times. For me, the mutants were extremely hard.

I just ordered this game on the 3rd and I am anticipating its arrival.

This isn't about role-playing so much as it is about combat.

Not as fun as the other two, but still fun...

Well, I also was quite worried what this new fallout would be like when I heard about it. It definitely is not a true fallout sequel, but it is a nice little diversion in the fallout universe. There are many different settings that will appeal to either the turn-based or real-time players. Perks and skill points are also used when upgrading your character so fans of the first two will feel right at home here. If you enjoyed the first two fallout games, you should at least give this a chance. You may find that you will enjoy it more than you thought you would.

It's Not Fallout 1 or 2

I you are looking for the storyline of Fallout 1 and 2, then you got the wrong game. It's based on the Fallout games, but group combat is the focus here.

Great game.

This game is a good game. The problem is after you have beaten it once it becomes to easy.
