Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC Reviews

Even though Point Lookout has been the main attraction lately, new reviews of Fallout 3’s Broken Steel DLC continue to surface.

The first is at AceGamez with a score of 8/10:

800 gamer points is no small cost for an expansion pack, and in terms of points-per-gaming-minute, there isn’t the value of the original Fallout 3 in Broken Steel. The size and scale of the original make this an impossible benchmark however, so Broken Steel remains a decent value proposition, especially if you consider the additional gameplay generated by reaching that Level 30 cap. The wasteland is a big, wide world, and there are ten to twelve hours of content in all the side quests included. Overall, it’s a fun, engaging addition to one of the best games of recent years and close to a must have if you’re still working your way through the main quest.

And the other is at Computers n’ Stuff with a score of 7/10:

Regardless of these persistent downfalls, Broken Steel is actually an essential Fallout 3 add-on. Whilst the main campaign is throw-away and the high-level content thrown in with a bit of disregard, the way Bethesda have actually thought about the add-ons that are there and have integrated them into the main game world rather than just have the player waltz off to a far away land for 2-3 hours is much more fitting with the games universe and beggars belief why it wasn’t released first.
