    The way the missions unfold within the VR exercise really gives you a sense that you're playing a game that isn't Fallout, yet it's using the exact same engine.

    The best Role Playing Game this year gets its first dose of downloadable content to extend the game to the radioactive stratosphere. If you own Fallout 3 this is a must buy.

    Electrified ninja swords, stealth armor, and a new gauss rifle are only a few of the goodies awaiting players. The vignette is an entertaining diversion, but the rewards for completing it are what make it truly worthwhile.

    Swag aside, there's nothing in this reductionist hotchpotch for fans of what Fallout 3 does so well. [Apr 2009, p.103]

    Ok every stupid PC or Xbox 360 user needs to shut up about how this isn't long enough. What if you didn't get it at all. Would that be better for you jerks? Bethesda did a great job on the first DLC this was just the starer and they have gotten better. I own a PS3 so I have not gotten the DLC, but I have watched enough video's to know this a great DLC. it is fun gives good rewards and it is just a difernent style for Fallout. When I got this finally I will have something to do for 2-4 hours plus It will get me back into Fallout. Either like it or don't get it, stop whining, PS3 people don't even get it you babies.… Expand

    This is the second dlc I have played for fallout 3, and after a crap dlc [Mothership Zeta] This dlc was much better than the last one I played. Operation Anchorage was more like a FPS than a RPG if you ask me, but it was cool. You can choose what units you want in combat which was cool. Operation Anchorage has a bit too much combat like Mothership Zeta but din't really care about that in Operation Anchorage. Some very cool new weapon's like the Guass rifle or the Chinese offieir's sword and some good power armor which beats Mothership Zeta's weapons going down the plug hole. It was also a bit short but worth buying. Fallout 3 - Operation Anchorage 7.8/10

    If it wasn't painfully obvious before that Fallout 3 had nothing to do with Fallout (mind-bogglingly, it wasn't to most) then it certainly is now. Even as a production-line cookie-cutter FPS, this would be atrociously mediocre. Thoroughly uninteresting and unremarkable.… Expand
