  • Summary: [Downloadable Content] Pittsburgh was once the industrial center of the pre-war world. The city was spared the horrors of nuclear fire, only to have its people infected by a nightmare plague of disease, infection, and mutation. Travel to the ruins of this industrial city, now called The Pitt, and discover a secret that could send shockwaves through the entire Wasteland. Battle vicious mutated Trogs, employ deadly new weapons like the AutoAxe and Infiltrator silenced assault rifle, and decide the fate of the infected slaves and slavers that call this city home.

    I had a great time with The Pitt, and it single-handedly reinvigorated my interest in Bethesda's masterpiece. It's what DLC should be: good value, interesting, exciting and a concentration of what is best about the game it's expanding upon.

    Whilst a bit short, The Pitt has a solid story, plenty of action and will stay with you to return whenever you wish.

    The Pitt is a much more fleshed-out expansion than Operation: Anchorage could ever hope to be. Still, its four-or-so-hour campaign does not have as many choices as the original game, making it feel limited in some aspects. However, even after considering these issues, your trip to post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh is worth the ten dollars (or 800 Microsoft Points).

    It’s still not particularly polished, however, as I experienced a couple of crashes and some audio glitches with character speech, but other than that this is a fairly solid expansion that captures what makes Fallout 3 so good.

    The Pitt is by far the best DLC for Fallout 3 the atmosphere is great, the story is amazing, and the new weapons and enemies are outstanding, graphics and sound are as great as ever, my only complaint is that it is really short and it doesn't add any new side quests, however this is worth the price of admission and a bunch of fun.… Expand

    I disagree with some of the other reviewers, I think we must evaluate the DLC as a stand-alone experience. That being said, the Pitt was good. It gave you a desolate feeling of misery and provided some interesting theoretical questions. I enjoyed the 'fight your way out' concept as it made things feel as though I had just stepped out of the vault again. Overall the Pitt was a good place to explore, and provided a good companion to the core game.… Expand

    I found The Pitt to be a lot of fun personally. The only real problem I have is that once you're done with the main quest, all there really is to do is go collect steel bars which isn't that fun to do. But the main quest itself is great, and that's enough to make The Pitt worth your time.… Expand

    I came into this expansion wanting to like it. The game play was fun, and the area was novel, however, this is the buggiest load I have every played in an established franchise. The first time I had to redo the entire bloody thing was because the speech messed up and I was trapped in a cut scene I could not escape. The second time I had to redo the whole bloody thing was when my gear never returned and I had to reload from before I went to The Pitt so i could stash all my gear, The third time I had to redo the whole bloody thing was RIGHT when I was about to collect the last of those damned ingots and I got stuck in a place that counted me as "falling" so I could not fast travel out. First time through was fun, second time was ok, having to play through 4 times because Bethesda rushed it out? Bad form.… Expand
