Game Details: Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth
Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction - outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens' clutches. To do so, you'll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and evenDefy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction - outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens' clutches. To do so, you'll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor. A strange Alien signal is being broadcast throughout the Capital Wasteland, originating from a crashed UFO. Is it a distress call, or something far more sinister? That question is answered when you find yourself beamed aboard an enormous Alien spacecraft, with only one alternative - to fight your way to the bridge of the ship and secure your escape.

"This year has been a grand one for DLC, a trend which I feel will only continue to grow thanks in part to Fallout 3. A definite purchase for fans of the original game and the previous content packs." ... Read full review

"Mothership Zeta is a let down. It's nowhere near as good as Point Lookout or The Pitt. It's slightly better than Operation Anchorage, but only slightly. It's a linear, repetitive slog through an alien space ship and nothing else. Is it a fitting finale? No. Is it worth 800MS Points? Just. If only for the Samurai Armour. Sniff." ... Read full review

"If Mothership Zeta had been half as long and available at half the price, it might have been worthwhile simply for giving players a quick peek behind the origins of the main game's enigmatic alien wreckage. As it stands, this dog-leg jaunt into outer space ends up a giant could-have-been without any real reason to recommend it, save completion for completion's sake." ... Read full review

This DLC isn't the best Fallout 3 DLC but it is still a blast to play, in this DLC your abducted by aliens, and you and the other captivesThis DLC isn't the best Fallout 3 DLC but it is still a blast to play, in this DLC your abducted by aliens, and you and the other captives have to fight your way out, this DLC takes more of a combat focus, which isn't a bad thing it's actually a lot of fun, the new weapons, enemies, and location, are a blast, my only complaint is that it locks off most of the ship after you complete the quest, but this is still a blast, and a must download for Fallout 3 fans.… Expand

Even though there are no side quests i enjoyed this as much as broken steel. Mothership zeta captures that 1950s retro future perfectly. i Even though there are no side quests i enjoyed this as much as broken steel. Mothership zeta captures that 1950s retro future perfectly. i loved how the aliens sounded just like those from tim burtons mars attacks. and it was a nice touch meeting a cowboy a samuri warrior and a medic from operation anchorage. this for me is a great expansion and a fitting final DLC for fallout 3. role on Fallout new vegas.… Expand

As with Anchorage, Mothership Zeta had a forgettable plot and very good loot. It was less well-integrated into the story than OperationAs with Anchorage, Mothership Zeta had a forgettable plot and very good loot. It was less well-integrated into the story than Operation Anchorage, and also left a massive and glaring plot hole in that all the technology you presumably now have access to amounts to nothing in the wasteland at large. The gameplay itself is rather normal, not remarkable in either a good or bad way. The key redeeming quality is an easily obtained alternative to Weapon Repair Kits and some nice new Energy Weapons. Key issues include a forgettable plot, irrelevance to the game at large and few RPG qualities.… Expand

First I'd like to say I have a PS3 so I don't have this yet, but I am going to judge on what I have seen. This is not better than First I'd like to say I have a PS3 so I don't have this yet, but I am going to judge on what I have seen. This is not better than Operation Anchorage, the weapons and armor you get from this are so boring, the Gauss Rifle the Stealth Suit, and then an Alien Rifle oooohhh awwww boring! In terms of depth it isn't that long all you do is escape lots of combat all talking is boring everyone sas mostly the same thing. Well if you are an FO3 fan and love the Alien Blaster you will enjoy this as for me I hated the Alien Blaster, I will only buy it for a little more time.… Expand

This was by far the worst dlc for fallout 3. Many compare it to bethesdas first dlc Operation anchorage which was a major disappointment. But This was by far the worst dlc for fallout 3. Many compare it to bethesdas first dlc Operation anchorage which was a major disappointment. But although that one was short it was a lot of fun and you came out with great equipment. Like Operation anchorage Mothership zeta is based on Fallout 3s combat. Unlike Operation anchorage mothership zeta is just plain old boring. Once completed theres no reason to replay. It gets boring real quickly. The most interesting highlight was the space walk and an interesting death ray battle. The new characters are interesting. Being able to meet a pre war soldier and a cowboy from way before the great war was amazing. Until you realize that all they have to say is I can't believe they did that to the world. The new equipment is bland. There is nothing original in the alien designs. Its different from fallout and is cool to look at for a shortwhile. Buts its like any old alien movie, little green guys speaking in jibberish with bug eyes. This is the worst dlc of all five. The fact that this is the last is the worst way bethesda can leave us.… Expand
