i was at my local game store getting halo 3 and i say heck why not browse through the rack of budget ps2 games and i see the words BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL and i think no it can be fallout cuz there only for pc but whatdoyaknow i get it for only 5 dollars! ok so i have yet to play it after a week, is it fun? are the original 2 games available for ps2 as well?

Brotherhood of steel was the first fallout for consoles, from what I heard, it practically butchered fallout lore, and poor gameplay.

.................................... dang

can i get some one that has played it?

I bought a copy when it first came out, and then returned it a couple days later.

I originally thought it might show some promise when it first came out - a more action-packed Fallout spin-off with gameplay along the lines of the newer Bard's Tale/ Baldur's Gate console games (which I very much enjoyed.) Disregarding anything else, it just didn't work as that sort of game. I found the mechanics weren't very well polished, and it just wasn't a very fun game to play.

Any of that might have possibly made up for the fact that they really didn't seem to grok what Fallout was all about. Beyond some key iconic features (like Power Armor, Supermutants, and VaultBoy) it really could have been just another generic post-apocalyptic game. I thought, at least. The art direction overall just didn't feel much like a Fallout game.

I thought it was fun, not the best most polished game, and as it is a spin off lore in it doesn't matter much, its pretty neat.

You should have demanded $50 in waste disposal fees.

does that mean it svcks?

If you still need to ask.

Yes

Honestly, I've never played it. And am still willing to. But, I'm more than aware of the overwhelming opinion that it is..beyond terrible, I'll wager

anything good at all? or is it destined to lay unplayed under fallout 3 on top of my 360?

Having the store pay you to take it away? Yup, it means its "unfit for human consumption".

well i was using store credit that had been used before so i guess i got it for free i guess ill hook up the ps2 some time this summer and give it a spin

Well, I found it to be an ok game. Although, to be fair (And I'm ashamed to admit this) it was the first Fallout game I played.

Same here and I'm not ashamed to say so. It's what got me into Fallout in the first place. Though it's nowhere as good as Fallout 3, I thought it was an enjoyable game, though it seems short now. On a trivial note, I liked the vault design in BoS better than the one in FO3 - once you got past the door. I preferred the mostly-white decor over FO3's fairly depressing bare-steel walls.

I'm aware that 99,9% of the oldschool fallout fans will bash my head in (especially Ausir) for saying this, but I actually enjoyed it as a decent hack and slash arpg back in 2004. It's definitely not a "real" fallout game but fun nonetheless.

I saw the BHoS trailer on You Tube.
It looks TERRIBLE! Fallout 3 looks like an "ain't broke don't fix it" sequel in comparison!
