Needless to say, with scores like that, I'm even more excited than I already was!

I was going to hold off getting it but I'm really starting to have a rethink...

In any case, I'm scraping the barrel for things to pick holes in. Fallout 3 has been by some margin the most enjoyable game I've played since BioShock - a game with which it shares a similar artistic vision and ambience. Despite so many worries, Fallout 3 almost effortlessly succeeds in its central aim of reviving a much-loved brand to appeal to the vast majority of players. It's a thrilling, all-consuming experience that will absorb you for weeks, whether you're attracted by the action, the adventure, or the role-playing, as you fall in love with the relentless excitement, incredible atmosphere, sense of place and sheer choice.

Bethesda has once again delivered a game of life-affirming brilliance that will be heralded as a classic, and talked about for years to come.

Interest piqued, I loved Bioshock.

Good scores

Have to keep an eye out for it when I've got more time for something like this.

Reading the UK review it seems he grumbled for most of the article but still gave it a high score :/

I thought that..

He didn't really praise the game at all, unless I'm reading it wrong

He just whinged about Oblivion and what was wrong with it. The only thing he linked from what I can understand is the environment.

I know, the UK review looked like it was written by someone who didn't actually like RPGs very much, yet knew he had to give it a good score. The AU and US reviews are much better in terms of describing the game better I feel.

The fact the other 2 are so close leads me to believe that the UK reviewer is talking out his arse.

Ultra_Extreme has almost finished the pirated copy he has and he said it's one of the best games he's played in a long, long time.

Me too. One of the best games of 2007 IMO.

It's doing really well by all accounts. Woot!

Bioshock is quite possibly *the* best game on the 360, so anything compared to it needs to be good. I have very high hopes for Fallout, and only a couple of days till I have it to see whether it meets those hopes
