    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.

    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

    Even as I love Fallout 3, the Operation Anchorage wasn't for me. The feeling of "Okay, it's a sim," was constantly there. Mostly I just wanted to get it over fast, so that I could get that stuff in the armory. And when I finally got there and took the stuff, I ended up putting it straight to my safe at my suite. Thanks for nothing! (Expect the white t51b power armor.) At the bright side, I gained some levels while there, and the end was really fun at some parts.… Expand

    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
