Fallout 3 if you like rpg and shooter elements, Metro if you like shooting smile.gif

Fallout 3 for gameplay, longevity, replay value.

Metro if you like really great graphics with a decent short story.

Fallout 3 all the way. It's been a while but there are probably mods to make it looks almost as good as Metro and the gameplay is great. Very easy to lose 200+ hours without getting bored.
Wow this thing is huge...

OMG, how dare you. There is only 1 choice, BOTH! Metro has the best storyline I have ever seen and fallout is awesome! Why did you bring this option upon us?

But If I had to choose, it would be fallout. I had so much hours on that game, not even funny. Metro was the best story game I ever played, BUT I finished the whole game in like 8-10hours. With fallout, you will a crap ton of hours. I still play fallout. 3 that is. New Vegas just is not that "entertaining" as fallout 3 was.

Both are excellent games. Fallout 3 will provide a longer playtime though. So many mods as well.

Metro 2033 has an excellent storyline. One of the few single player games I really enjoyed.

I love RPGs, so fallout is way better for me.
I play fps just to kill a bit of time in between games biggrin.gif

It's simple: if you like shooters: metro. If you prefer rpg: fallout.

That said, I enjoyed both games.

Fallout vs Metro 2033: Open world vs linear world. "Old" graphics vs new graphics. Silly vs serious. RPG shooter vs shooter.
