Game play in Fallout 2 is the same as in the Fallout 1. The sequel is much longer, there is more locations, more quests, and more "everything" available. Hey...you can even get a car to make your travel time faster! The graphics are the same as in Fallout 1, so don't expect fireworks there. To make it short, if you haven't played the first Fallout, buy both and play them. You will love this game. Enjoy!
