Fallout - BoS Welcomed By Some, Not Others

Thanks to GameSpot for their hands-on impressions of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, the PS2/Xbox action RPG that's set in the world of the seminal PC RPG series. The article comments: "Though we're still in mourning over the passing of Black Isle [and cancellation of Fallout 3 for PC], we're comforted by this new game that's playing as expected thus far." This more action-orientated console title "has the simple and basically entertaining mechanics of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance", since it "uses the same [game] engine", but Fallout fansite No Mutants Allowed are less forgiving about the cancellation of Fallout 3, ranting to GameSpot: "So you're comforted by the title that got a lot of good people sacked and a very promising title canned?", as they continue to present leaked pictures and team farewells from Fallout 3, as well at looks at obviously-influenced German PC RPG title The Fall: Last Days Of Gaia.

I for one...

don't welcome our new Brotherhood overlords.

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance was a decent game, but no replacement for any other BG series game, and I expect the same from this one. I'll probably wait until it drops to $20 and then convince a friend to buy it (hope it has multiplayer, like BGDA did).
