  • Summary: Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction - outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens' clutches. To do so, you'll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor. A strange Alien signal is being broadcast throughout the Capital Wasteland, originating from a crashed UFO. Is it a distress call, or something far more sinister? That question is answered when you find yourself beamed aboard an enormous Alien spacecraft, with only one alternative - to fight your way to the bridge of the ship and secure your escape.

    A great way to end the downloadable content run for Fallout 3. If it's indeed the final DLC we're to see for the game, it's surely an out-of-this-world way to close off our explorations of the Capital Wasteland, providing a thoroughly enjoyable ride that is likely to last almost as much as the longest of the packs that's come out so far - Broken Steel.

    Dramatic, entertaining and charming in the way that every Fallout expansion should be from now on. [Nov 2009, p.72]

    It's short, focused too heavily on combat through bland corridors, and feels like a missed opportunity. I still had fun while wandering the alien ship, but that is more of a testament to the strengths of Fallout 3 than the strengths of this expansion.

    Mothership Zeta is not as shabby as Operation: Anchorage, but it still not worth neither money, nor time.

    One of the best DLC for F3. Nice Graphics and a cool Story.

    The shortest of all the DLC, but that doesn't mean it it does't deliver the satisfaction. It's just like a White Castle Burger, it's small, cheap, and doesn't last long. But it's still enjoyable. (If you like sliders) The game provides you with a interesting and adventuress storyline with aliens and conspiracy around every corner. The new weapons and items are a must have for a Fallout fanboy. Overall, it's a great new episode for Fallout 3.… Expand

    There are some good bits like the alien weirdness (often funny), but mostly it's one long dungeon crawl experience. Wish they wouldn9;t do these combat orientated DLCs.… Expand

    Pretty weak, especially compared to Broken Steel and Point Lookout. As others have said, very linear, and after about 20 minutes of play the spaceship interior gets very boring to look at. Clunky dialogue and encounters with NPC's. Just not a very fun or engaging DLC. My advice - save your $10 for Fallout: Las Vegas.… Expand
