Definitely Fallout 3.

I'd say LBP.

After getting through the Story Mode, there are always user created levels that you can play or even create one of your own.

You can play online or on the same system with 3 other people.

Yeah I should clarify - it depends on the kinds of games you prefer. I'd throw Far Cry out - it's a good game but the replay value is very low. Little Big Planet is a good game, but it relies *heavily* on user created content to provide replay value. That's not my cup of tea, but obviously a lot of people love it. Fallout 3 is an RPG that can take as long to beat as you want, and you can play through it multiple times and get multiple different stories. You could definitely get at least 80 hours of that game, if not more.

So yeah, I'd definitely choose between LBP and Fallout 3 - both are great games (both GOTY material) but it depends on your individual taste.

Replay value low? Its an open sandbox game possibilities are endless....have you played it? or is that just speculation???

I've played it, and I can't imagine playing it again after beating it. Sure it's "open", but it's nowhere near as open as a game like Fallout 3.

you cant even compare fallout to FC2 farcry two is essentially a FPS whereas Fallout is a mainly and RPG even though it has its FPS elements...still its a oblivion type game....

Anyway, I can see myself playing it over...o well

LBP FTW.

Farcry: FPS. Do those have replay value? Unless you're talking multiplayer. I don't see how people even play FPS games that don't have multiplayer.

Fallout: It's basically Oblivion in a different setting. Think of how boring, untailored, and randomly generated the quests are. Go to X cave to find Y item and fight Z monster that levels up with you. Other comparisons: WoW quests. Diablo.

Different strokes I guess. The only FPS I have ever played more than once is the original Half Life. Every other FPS I've ever played only stuck around for a while if it had good multiplayer.

FC2 is about 40-50hrs on a first playthrough. But it plays out differently each time depending on which missions you do, which player you choose, how you treat your buddies, which weapons and abilities you focus on, and what sides you pick in the conflict in each of the two maps.

Add to that the 221 diamond briefcases, the many other hidden goodies (like the golden guns), the safehouses, the guard posts, and so on. It's a long game and enormously replayable.

It's more like Fallout 3 than people seem to know. FO3 is more an RPG with FPS elements, while FC2 is more an FPS with RPG elements. But both a very long, change depending on the choices you make, and are as replayable as you want them to be.

riddle me this??? how many FPS can you play before it gets old as hell. my answer is on 1 hand. timesplitters 2 and halo and i was done. real annoying and i had a heart attack (for real). done with that:eek: although Killzone might be worth an irregular heart beat or 2:)

Fallout 3...my eyes are blurry from playing it.

I think its insane to pay $60 for a game unless it is top knotch.

I own R&C...thats it...I rented Fallout 3 and have not put it down.

I'll buy it...but for the PC, not the PS3 since I'm far better with a mouse.

riddle me this??? how many FPS can you play before it gets old as hell.Sounds like you're just not a fan of the genre. That's fine.

I (and others) could easily list twenty FPS games off the top of my head that are worth replaying. And I'm sure I could come up with fifty that are enjoyable from beginning to end for at least one full playthrough.

But if you don't like the genre, there's no point in trying to convince you otherwise.
