Falllout: Brotherhood of Steel Review

UGO has posted a review of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, giving the action RPG an overall score of C+. Their conclusion:

The voice acting is full of mildly amusing wit and sarcasm. It’s still tough to find a game nowadays that even tries to tell a few jokes regularly, so I do applaud Interplay for keeping that original Fallout tradition going. Otherwise, the voice acting isn’t so hot; it’s another piece of this game that doesn’t jive too well with the look and feel of everything else. It’s hard to put my finger on it, but it seems like the actors deliver the wrong tone and inflection when they laid the voice work down.

Interplay’s Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is an action/RPG title that seems like it’s less than the sum of its parts. Not only is the action disjointed, but it’s just a bit too much of a chore to bash your way through it. While the Fallout atmosphere is hit-and-miss, the voice acting really hurts the feel of the game. It’s just not worth your gaming dollar, especially when the similar but superior Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2 is already out in stores.
