Fallout 3 Collector's Edition
The game itself is brilliant, keep me awake at night for days.. it stays true to the original Fallout material, while expanding on the world creatively..
It plays very smoothly on my Vista 64bit machine after applying the first patch from Bethesda.
Still has a couple of bugs, but Bethesda has promised a couple of more patches to come out soon..
However the Collector's Edition freebies is a bit disappointing.. no posters, no soundtrack audio CDs, and the DVD itself is in a normal, Games for Windows soft plastic CD casing, put into the Lunch Box. I was hoping that for the premium price we pay, it would be in a special casing of some sort in the Lunch Box.
The metal lunchbox does not feel durable at all. Definitely wont survive a nuclear holocaust!
Finally the Vault Boy Bobblehead nicely done, but feels like a McDonald's toy, just a bit bigger.
I've got collector editions of other games, and Fallout 3 Collector's Edition seems to fall short to me. (The Singapore release of Red Alert 3 for example, has a limited numbered metal casing, with free Red Alert designed LAPTOP BAG, 2 posters, audio CD, making DVD etc, for similar price to Fallout 3's collector edition). I think Bethesda should give more collector items to make the Collector Edition worthwhile for their fans.
However it is a very enjoyable game anyway, and for that I will give it a 5 out of 5
