Broken Steel does for Fallout 3 what the Extended Editions did for Lord of the Rings: by adding more and deeper content it makes you care more and feel like things have properly been resolved. Plus, after the dramatic, explosion-packed finale, you get to play on as long as you like with a raised level cap.
Point Lookout adds a huge swampy area for you too look around with plenty to see and do. The quest is fun and interesting and there are some great characters and locations. It's a great Fallout add-on, but those who enjoyed Bethesda's Shivering Isles and Morrowind will enjoy the landscape too.

If you enjoyed Fallout3, this is a must have. It opens a new story line following Project Purity. It opens up your level cap from 20 to 30! It adds new monsters to the wasteland, if you see more than one Albino, RUN!

I love this game and it's add ons. I hope that they are developing more as there is so much of the world left to explore. Amazon is the best!
This is a must have game.

Buy this, you won't be sorry. Lots of new areas and quests, plus you can go up to level 30.

Would not run in Vista and I have double the requirements needed, wouldn't even launch. This is a broken add on for a buggy, crash happy, broken game.

Played the game from start to finish three times; as, different caracters. Still playing and finding things that were not discovered during the first three trys.
Purchase all the ad-ons. You won't regret it.

This game and it's add-ons are just a joy to play. I keep discovering new things each time I do this thing. I absolutely recommend this anyone who enjoyed the original game. New level-ups to 30 now. FUN!

A wonderful add on to the fantastic game Fallout 3. If you are a fan of the original games I highly recommend getting the latest content to enhance your playing experience. One other comment regards the use of SecuRom as mentioned by other reviewers - the only SecuRom check performed is a standard disk media check. The more intrusive versions of this copyright protection is NOT used. Do not let a standard media check get in the way of enjoying this fantastic game and expansion.

This is an Outstanding game & expansion pack. It is immense and you can play it not for hours, days or weeks, but months, and still discover new things. The game will change with the persona you adopt (nice guy, crook, Opportunist, etc.)The expansion pack gives you the opportunity for a 50 % increase in your experience level, and also a whole new world to explore. This is probably the best game for the money that I ever experienced. It is absorbing as well. You will swear you are immersed in post nuclear apocalyptic Washington, and suurounding areas. Since I live in that area, I know the surroundings are geographically a culturally acurate. An amazing game.

Definitely worth my money. This add on pack expands from the main game's storyline, and adds more challenges. It is fun and I recommend this to all the Fallout 3 players.

Fallout 3 itself is a incredible game, with so much to do and the graphics are truely jaw-dropping. If you liked Fallout 3, then you will definately like this expansion DLC pack! The two DLC's featured in here will make Fallout 3 last a LOT longer. Unlike the other DLC pack that features the Pitt and Operation Anchorage: This pack focuses on expanding the present Fallout 3 Capital wasteland as well as adding a new open-ended world to explore.
Broken Steel:
This DLC (Downloadable-Content) extends Fallout 3 so that once you finish the main story, you can keep playing instead of getting kicked out after the end. This allows you to freestyle in a way similar to Oblivion. Broken Steel adds much more depth to the story and it adds tons of new goodies and challenges that have not been implented in Fallout 3. In this DLC, you get to enter a new open-ended zone featuring Adams Air Force Base (Andrews Air Force Base in real life) that is home to the enclave communications HUB and has a lot to see! Broken steel is one of the best DLC addons for Fallout 3 In my opinion.
Point Lookout:
This DLC should be treated like a Expansion. Point Lookout is a Freestyle explore type of DLC not featured in any of the other DLC's. The setting is Point Lookout: Maryland on the coast where there is swamplands and new mutated creatures and "Swampfolk". When you first arrive to point lookout, the map of the place just amazed me to know that this DLC features a open-ended enviroment vs a limited and restricted area that has no explorational value. Point Lookout, while not as big as the capital wasteland: The area is big enough to make things interesting and a handful of quests are added that give the place a little more depth. The atmosphere of Point Lookout is very rural and low-populated, so you won't cross many friendly people in the lands. One of my favorites of this DLC is that you get a Double Barrel Shotgun (About time!) and it is really powerful but degrades easily. I would call this the second best DLC with Broken Steel being first.
For anyone who collects the Fallout series, or just plays Fallout 3: I recommend you buy this if you want Fallout 3 to be ENHANCED a lot more than the previous two DLC's. Thumbs up all the way!

If Fallout 3 is your game the ad-on will not disappoint. It makes the best game ever even better.

Good game, for an add on. Not near as good as the original FO 3 game, but what add pack on is? Worth the buy for me, to stay in FO 3 scenario without getting burned out on the original game. Which I don`t see happening;-)

Broken Steel was worth the play but Point Lookout was worth the cost alone. Point Lookout was everything you could hope for from a game that entails roaming around a swamp, shooting inbreeding hillbillies and drinking Moonshine. Great expansion pack!!! Even better than the first expansion pack. If you like Fallout 3 - get this.

The game was outstanding, challenging and huge in scope. Allowed the player to determine his or her on destiny. I would play it again. Only complaint is that it only let you go to level 20.
