    Though the new gear is lackluster, the path opened to the level 35 cap and new perks is fair compensation.

    Dead Money isn't perfect, but neither was New Vegas. There are some interesting survival horror elements of Dead Money that will make you tense, and enough fun to make you come back for more. This DLC is certainly a solid edition to the Fallout world.

    So ultimately I think I was happier with the idea of what the designers of Dead Money were trying to accomplish than what they actually created. They put a far above average plot and built a framework of gameplay that somehow managed to break away from the Fallout formula. In the end, however, it's just too much. Too much sneaking around, too many traps, too many reloads. And there are seven more of these things yet to come? God help us all.

    Trial-and-error frustrations diminish the impact of this add-on's great characters and dialogue.

  1. This DLC will make you suffer. It will make you squirm in pain. It'll make you develop cusses the human ear has yet to hear, not unlike **** godamnitychrist, and **** It will make you fear radio static. It will make you despise intercoms. And yet.. somehow after going through all this torture, the end story makes me feel just... wow. I think the plot REALLY makes up for this... Basically, it makes the pain you felt into a lesson about greed. You'll enjoy this if you like some darkness to your world, and some difficulty to your Fallout. Two words. Bear. Traps. Expand
  2. This is easily one of the best DLC's of the Fallout series. The Characters are interesting and intriguing and it's easy to waste plenty of time just sitting there going through the many great dialogue options. This dlc feels like a real survival horror game as you desperately run through buildings hoping your head won't explode as well as dodging toxic gas and just hoping you will find a stimpak or two to get you through the next bunch of enemies around the corner. The storyline is very enjoyable and will give you a solid few hours to add to your fallout experience. Expand
  3. One of the better bits of Fallout DLC. Doesn't completely crash the game like some of Fallout 3s DLC but if you are on ps3, expect a laggy experience, just like the main game. All in all the characters are quite interesting and it does provide a few more hours of enjoyment out of New Vegas if you've done everything there is to do.. It's also nice to see the story line tie into the main New Vegas story. Expand
  4. 7
    The story is fairly interesting, the characters are great and the way you have to play it is interesting and intense. The new weapons and gear aren't that interesting, but this is definetly worth checking out. Expand
