FO:BOS - FOBOS - The Rosemary Kennedy of the Fallout family

<strong>[ -> Review]</strong>

There's a <a href="http://mobygames.com/game/view_review/r ... Id,7/">new review of FO:BOS at Mobygames</a> that I thought was well written enough (despite the site using user-submitted content) to post about.<blockquote><i>All this wouldn't be so bad, if the core game was interesting. After killing a hundred or so radscorpions (and a few rats), you go to another area and kill a few hundred more�and this takes hours of gameplay. After that, you slog through tons of raiders. What this game is lacking (ha) is strategy and variation. It's not a Fallout game where you can use a variety of methods to achieve your objectives, or even Fallout Tactics where you could use… tactics. It's a big, dumb splatfest, without big, dumb weapons that make it fun (think Serious Sam). Forgive me for not playing this through to the end, but if the first third is garbage, I doubt the other two thirds are shining examples of gaming.</i></blockquote>Note to <a href="http://www.bethsoft.com">Bethesda</a>: this is how not to do a <i>Fallout</i> game.
