The interesting thing with Fallout series is that whatever game people play first, it's usually their favourite. I love Fallout Tactics. I can understand that those who played the original or Fallout 2 first, may have different feelings but for me, it was hours, days and weeks of amazing experience. I actually got properly addicted to it. When I played it the second or third time (it was around 20 years ago) I got to the point that I had to break the DVD to stop myself. In its own kind (which is not the same as any other Fallout) this game is close to perfect. I tried Desperados after and I hated it. It wasn't even close. I'm not aware of any other game offering a similar experience. If anyone knows, please tell me as I really like it. Now I'm gonna play it again so may need a therapist soon. Try it! It may not be your thing but if you get into it you will never regret it.
