There were some disappointing games at E3, and unfortunately for Vivendi and Interplay, this was one of hose games.

Gameplay itself looked like a bad third-person shooter. All I did in the demo level was point towards my foe and wail bullets into his poor body, followed by more and more of the same. Rescuing civillians broke the monotony, but that's one overused cliche. Eventually finding a key on a civillian allowed access to another area, but it looked like more shoot 'em up fest again once advancing to that area. The game even lacks a targetting system, so I had to actually aim to kill enemies, which isn't much fun in third person.

Is there anything promising in Fallout? There is a great selection of weapons that were available as part of the demo, so I did try the chain gun out and had fun for a while, until I realized I do the same thing in Battlefield 1942 and have the same fun. This isn't what I'm looking for at all in an RPG. There wasn't any character interaction available either, and I've surely seen better graphics. I'm convinced that some radical changes need to be made to this game before it is too late.
