Customer Reviews of Fallout 2 (Mac)

Very Difficult, Too Linear
I loved Fallout. Once armed and with even leather armor you could strike out in any direction in search of adventure. There was a storyline, but it was still possible to get a job or gamble your way through for a good while, building up experience in the process. Fallout 2, on the other hand, is very difficult. Creatures are so tough at first that survival becomes a challenge unto itself. Guns or body armor would be helpful, but there are none to be found. The storyline, and character survival, are so intertwined that striking off in any direction, alone, is certain death. Experience points come very, very slowly. Crippling injuries are common. Because it's part of the Fallout genre I give it 2 stars, but it really deserves only one star.

There are similar games for the Mac that are much better.
Its graphics and sound are lackluster. Its manual is overly long and poorly written. The gameplay is far from fun or enjoyable. I would have to guess that those who really liked this game have not played other truly good games on the Macintosh. There are plenty of other similar games for the Mac that are much better than this one. I got it on sale for only $4, yet consider it a regrettable waste of money.

Finest game yet written...
Probably the finest game yet written: unparalleled in breadth, depth, humour and intelligence. Fresh (and surprising) every time you play. "Slight pixellation" hard to notice when you've been playing the game for 48 hours straight: it's a text adventure with a front end anyway. Beg, borrow, steal. Shame fallout tactics is so much less fun.
