Fallout fans are just realising that an entry in the beloved RPG series once had a release on the PlayStation 2.

The Fallout series is one of the most beloved RPG properties of all time and that was long before Bethesda Softworks acquired its license. Before the release of Fallout 3 in 2008 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, there were four other games.

Check out the Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel trailer below!

As you might have guessed from the trailer above, the Fallout game in question is Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel which was released in 2004 on the PlayStation 2 as well as the original Xbox.

“In joining the Brotherhood of Steel, players will uncover a sinister plot that could transform the remainder of humanity into a race of mutants,” reads the description of the game.

“The Brotherhood of Steel has come together to wage battle against the mutant raiders and pirates to fulfil their search for a mysterious and heavily sought-after device, one that could be used to help rebuild humanity or as a monstrous toll of war.”

To be fair, it’s understandable if many of us never knew this game ever existed. All games in the series before this one had made names on PC but Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel was never released on PC, it’s a console exclusive.

“The cursed one. I haven't played it, why has it garnered its reputation?” asked Redditor BranchCold9905.

“It's a top-down shooter with RPG-ish elements, repetitive levels, and an aesthetic that isn't to most peoples' tastes,” replied Jae-Sun. “It's more like it's aggressively mediocre than outright bad.”

“It’s like a Fallout game with Slipknot playing while I'm fighting a boss,” said a user. Check out the trailer above and you’ll see what they mean. “It oozes with the edge of the 2000s,” said EdwardoftheEast.

“It is made for teenage boys or what the executives think teenage boys are like,” suggests Voidbearer2kn17, who’s probably not wrong.

If you were to pick up a copy of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel from third-party sellers, you’d be looking at around £25 to £30, for a game that is one of the lowest scoring in the series with 66 on Metacritic. Still, you pay a bit more for retro goodies.
