Black Isleﾒs Fallout RPG is a bona fide classic, and the post-apocalyptic game world used for that game series is one thatﾒs sorely missed by plenty of gamers. While some of them would prefer another straight up RPG set in that world, most will be content with Brotherhood of Steel, a co-operative beat ﾑem up action RPG that bears more than a passing resemblance to fan favorite Baldurﾒs Gate: Dark Alliance. Outlandish creatures dish out quests, requiring monster killing and item retrieval, and the combat is as cool and responsive as the environments are weird and refreshing after all the fantasy themed D&D-like games in the genre. You can use guns, lasers, and nasty melee weapons and, as always, you must loot the bodies of your foes for better weapons, ammo, and the credits you need to buy more weapons. Characters level up and gain new skills and abilities, to better face the challenges to come. Unlike most action RPGs of this type, Fallout BOS features branching conversations that alter some of the quests ahead. This makes the replay value higher than normal and makes the game feel all the more refreshing. Parents should note that this Fallout is similar to the earlier games in that the subject matter tends to be more ﾓadultﾔ but this isnﾒt Fallout III, this is a whole new play-style. Thankfully the game is satisfying enough as an action RPG to tide fans over. Kid Factor Falloutﾒs brutal post-apocalyptic world has never been for kids. It features prostitution, cannibalism, gambling, drugs, alcohol, violence, and other things that will get their attention and make them try to convince you that it is good for children. That said, later teens can probably handle it. As they say, worse things happen on television.
