    This is no doubt EA mooching from Bioware's name. This is absolutely not worth purchasing. It is nothing more than shovelware content that is simply training rooms. No narrative, nothing. Just shooting with a few achievements. If you want some achievements, buy it I guess. But games aren't made for achievements. It's 5 dollars, but not worth buying at all.

    This is not worthy of the name Mass Effect.

    This is not missions in the sense of mass effect so dont go in expecting that. the people who rated this low(users and publications) obviously went in thinking this would be 4 or 5 hours of missions and they are retarded and I appologize for them. What this dlc is is some time trial and surviov type scenarios which put shep and crew in vr. It is a lot of fun and wil lhelp you build your skill with the combat portion of the game. I know it works because before this dlc I could barely beat this on hard the whole way and after the dlc I can now clear it on insane relatively easy. Bottom line don't expect any missions and enjoy it for what its worth.… Expand

    Pinnacle station is a bit unlike the "Bring Down the Sky" DLC, because it doesn't really have that much story like any other Mass Effect assignment, mission or DLC. It is however pretty fun to play if you want some more challenges for Commander Shepard. the DLC is pretty short, but the re-play value of it makes up for that. Only one thing... don't buy it for the extensive dialogue and RPG-elements. Pinnacle Station highlights the shooter elements from Mass Effect. Unlike a lot of other reviewers, I do recommend Pinnacle Station.… Expand

    This DLC tries to add at least 2-4 hours of gameplay to Mass Effect but it bugged me that you can't have ended the game to play it making me start a completely new game. This brings a series of "bot matches" which are basically challenges in 2 maps each in which you have to get the best score or time. Unfortunately there is almost no point in playing this rather than getting a few achievements and entertaining yourself for a while, no story, few dialogues, no xp earned while playing, and it suffers from the same texture popping the game has, but its fun, and that fun can last a while. When you think of buying this DLC consider the fact that its only 400 microsoft points, but also consider why you want this and if you really want it.… Expand

    Mass Effect's latest add-on is an insult to fans clamoring for new content.

    Pinnacle Station is uninspired, poorly constructed, and offers none of what made Mass Effect a great game in the first place. Skip this, lest you want to sully your anticipation for Mass Effect 2. That's all Pinnacle Station has done for me.

    The second DLC for Mass Effect is not what we expected from the franchise. Just a little warm-up before the launch of the second chapter in the series. Interesting, but quite useless in the greater picture of the galaxy.
