To start off, I loved the base game of Fallout 3, I got it when it first came out, and sure it had its fair share of problems, but it was still great.And so the story ctoninues with 5 new DLC’s, which add new items and locations to your already large choosings.But alas, this game feels as though little to no testing was done in the game. It is plagued with glitches, frame rate issues, lag issues, freezing issues, amongst other annoying problems I hadn’t experienced in my initial Fallout 3 experience. I believe that the game froze my PS3 at least 15 times across all 5 DLC’s, this also included exploring some areas from the the original copy. These problems occur often, inspiring a new found hatred for the game. To be short, the problems are terrible, annoying, and large in number. But despite its problems, the game does manage to do a lot of things right:1) You can use you saves from the original copy if you still have them!2) New weapons and items are (mostly) very useful and powerful3) Point Lookup ctoninues the game’s-experience with many side-quests and sandbox gameplay4) The level cap is raised to level 30.5) The game can now continue after the main-quests are over!6) You can find a lot more ammo for the Alien Blaster!7) The quests from the DLC (while they are nothing special) add a few more hours of gameplay $110 worth of games for $60 is a great deal!The DLC’s are solid, but are not great. They feel like the main game’s side quests to me, as they feel unimportant, but the rewards are worth playing for. My favorite weapons and apparel are from the DLC including: Winterized Power Armor, Tesla Cannon, Gauss Rifle, Samurai Armor, Samurai sword, Auto-axe/ Manopener, infiltrator/perforator, tribeam laser rifle, double barreled shotgun, level-action rifle, Alien Disintegrator I would have like to have seen more length and depth to each DLC, as no single DLC took more than 3 hours to complete (with the exception of Point Lookout’s side quests and exploration)I’d be hesitant to recommend this to anyone but hardcore Bethsda and Fallout fans, until a patch comes out that if not eliminates the problems, at least minimizes them.
