Fallout 3: Broken Steel Critic Reviews

After creating this masterpiece, Bethesda has a mighty task creating something just as good. I can’t recommend Broken Steel highly enough. If you have Fallout 3, you need Broken Steel to go with it.

Providing players the broadest DLC quest line yet, new weapons, new enemies, and ten more levels to gain, Broken Steel is worth every penny you'll pay to download it, and is recommend for both newcomers to Fallout 3 and veterans alike. Broken Steel's additions to the game will continue to be felt and enjoyed long after the 4-5 hour storyline is complete. Wastelanders, get out there and crush the Enclave!

All in all, Broken Steel winds up being a great diversion and a good excuse to re-visit the Capitol Wastelands. Between the continuation of the storyline, the tougher enemies, and the great amount of action given, it's well worth the $10 to take a ride with the Brotherhood of Steel one more time.

Put simply, if you love Fallout 3, Broken Steel is an essential purchase.

Broken Steel does a great job of both extending the Fallout story a bit longer and creating incentive to keep playing even after you've "beaten" the game.

You really should not have had to pay for Broken Steel. It should’ve been included on the original release, but it’s so worth it.

As far as add-ons are concerned, Broken Steel is by far the best one to come along for Fallout 3 since The Pitt.

With a solid new campaign, an improved level cap, dozens of new perks and tons of powerful weapons at your disposal, Broken Steel is hands down some of the best content Fallout 3 has to offer.

Basically if you have missed the wastelands, Broken Steel gives you more than enough reasons to return. Keeping with the high quality set by the original, Broken Steel gives you more engrossing content for up to five hours of gameplay, whilst increasing the story behind the game whilst removing the full stop.

Lifting the level cap breathes new life into a great game, but shouldn't totally overshadow a new series of quests that is a lot of fun.

Fallout 3 gets new content and Broken Steel set a new quality level on the downloadable content for this game. Expanding the level cap up to 30 and adding a nice set of new items, enemies and weapons is only one of the features of this expansion. Also, it really makes you feel the way the original did and let you play with your characters forever so it's worth buying if you expend a lot of time developing your avatar.

Hopefully not the last but so far the best DLC for Fallout 3, rather than the linear Pitt and Anchorage, Steel opens up the game and adds the important open world adventure element lacking in the precious DLC.

Still a price we'd pay.

Overall, a solid DLC that is worth your time and money.

The best of the released add-ons for Fallout 3, because the new level cap, perks and events breathe life even into the old content. The basic problems of undramatic storytelling and lack of polish remain, and the overabundandace of equipment has eliminated the fun of gathering resources.

One of the finest examples of downloadable content that other developers should emulate.

A solid set of new missions. The real benefits come with being able to fix the ending and explore more of the world afterwards.

Broken Steel is a recommended DLC for Fallout 3, that brings some good patches to the original story, first of all the open-ended final. Other good news: new powerful equipment, new hours of play, and the possibility to level up again the character. All for 800 MP.

Broken Steel doesn't fuss too much with the existing formula, but it does provide more adventure that easily lives up to the high standards set by Fallout 3. Highly recommended.

The value is apparent when looking over what the Broken Steel content has to offer, and more than just extra content, Bethesda went above the call of duty to figure out how to fix a few of the major complaints with the original game.
