You Won't Have A "Fall-ingout" With This Game!

"Fallout"--a game made by Interplay studios in 1997--is a classic game, about a world, decimated by war. You play the Vault Dweller, searching for the technology needed to save his people, even amongst the evil that has taken hold in the world. "Fallout 2"--a game made by Interplay and Black Isle (now Obsidian) studios in 1998--takes place several generations after the first "Fallout". You play a descendant of the original Vault Dweller, who must also find needed technology, and who must save the decrepit world from evil again. "Fallout: Tactics"--a game made by Interplay and 14 Degrees East studios--is a different take on a classic game. Instead of being mandatorilly turn-based, you can choose not to be; It is also more focussed on squad-based gameplay. In this game, you are a paladin for the Brotherhood of Steel, and you and your squad are given the task to save the world--one city at a time. Note: This particular collection is from GSP, which mean that it is a British software company. That means that some things--like the fact that there are no children in the game--will be different. It is recommended that, if you get this game, that you get the most up-to-date patches!

Great games for a great price

Even with as old as they are, these games are still as great as they were when they first came out. Good way to get brushed up for Fallout 3, too!

This is a combination of the Fallout series so far, and it is very good. Everyone that is a fan of this cult classic should get this pack if they don't already own them.

I mainly got this for the tactics game. Other family members love fallout 1 & 2. It does have a few issues crashing with XP, but so far tactics does not. Tried to find a patch for 1&2 online without any luck. Overall I am happy with the game considering that it's running on XP, instead of the OP it was designed for.

Buyer Beware

As to the games: It's Fallout. By this point, one shouldn't need a review of the games. They're amongst the best games of all time (Tactics excluded), and no recommendation can be high enough. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

However! Something has to be said about the reliability of the games. First: you likely will need to crack Fallout Tactics. For whatever reason, in Vista, the game does not recognize the CD as being a game CD. Thankfully, gamecopyworld.com is still a bountiful resource for safe No-CD cracks.

Also, from what I've heard of friends' experiences with this collection, some of the bugs that Fallout and Fallout 2 experience on WinXP are serious enough to ruin the game experience. For what it's worth, Vista has had no game-breaking issues with any of the collection so far.

There are, however, odd graphical glitches (the game screen has a tendency to suddenly go black; saving when this happens clears up the issue), and certain still-unresolved gameplay bugs that amount to minor annoyance.

Greater on the annoyance scale is that the games *still* bother you to register them despite both Interplay and Black Isle no longer existing, and the publisher of this collection, GSP, seems to have their own agenda trying to push a "register and get a free game" thing. Once again, individually small issues that add to the larger annoyance factor.

Bottom Line: It's Fallout. Play it. Sure, there are some annoying technical issues, but lets be realistic. It's Fallout.
