Play it. Now. Review over. Wait...you're still reading this arent you?
Fallout 2 is by far the strongest title in the Fallout series, and one of the better games of its type from its era of gaming. The story is strong, only rivaled by Fallout 1 within the 5 games that make up the Fallout series. Your village is dying, and you're sent out into the world to find the Holy G.E.C.K. to save your people. A world filled with gangs, slavery, drug use, the Enclave, and talking mechanical dogs modelled off Dr. Who's K9. The gameplay, while completely different than some may expect after playing FO3 or NV, is a vast improvement upon the system from 1. More weapons, more companions, no timelimit, and improved set pieces, while retaining what made Fallout 1 a good game.
If you don't have an issue with the obviously dated graphics, and a gameplay style that, sadly, is long dead this game is for you.
