The first and second Fallout (And Fallout: Tactics) are isometric strategy games (meaning you move on a map and attack all with an allotted movement/attack point system) while that latter entries are more action oriented and expansive.

Personally, I'm a fan of the series. It has its fair share of bugs (dear Jesus it has its fair share of glitches), but they really pulled me into the game with the story, gameplay mechanics, leveling up system. They're one of the few games I've beaten multiple times and found something new and interesting each time (using different strategies, closing different actions, etc.).
