Too short, very linear. Not worth the full price of $10 (aka 800 MS/Bioware points.) Wait until it drops to $3-4, IMHO.

I'm hoping they're going to release some sort of DLC pack for a discounted price, when they've finished it. Paying $10 for individual missions doesn't appeal to me.

ffs I'm less than a quarter though the first mass effect that was on sale on steam for 4.99 ages ago. Hopefully there will be a sale for me2 with all dl content for cheap. Otherwise no deal and corporate gaming can suck my balls.

me1 was considerably better than me2 :\

most notably, the part where it was unique, instead of 'generic fps'
edit
hell, if they had even left the circle in instead of generic crosshairs, I wouldve been happier.

Since when do DLC prices change?

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe you're right and it was a bit short but I was blasting through it on a max level, fully pimped out Vanguard. For just over six quid I thought it was pretty well priced to get your reaquainted with Ms. T'Soni and it almost moves the story along a bit for ME3.

Counterpoint: worth it just for the dossiers.

(I actually thought the DLC overall was pretty good, but Legion's gaming record and Grunt's search history between them are better than the whole of the rest of the package, IMO.)

I didn't read too many, Illusive Man's is fairly hilarious.

Whether it's good or not, i try not to encourage the DLC trend.

Used to be addons and things were a thank you from the game makers to the fans, now it's just an easy way to get another shot of revenue from people who bought the game.

it was £6 and was imo a nice addition to the story and worth the couple of drinks it is equivalent to

I definitely thought it was well worth the 10$. It had some more good story, dialogue, and good old fashioned pew pew. Really made up for the terriblness that was Overlord.

Definitely the best DLC so far, good locations especially the shadow brokers lightning powered ship thingy, the two main bosses are fairly challenging to take down on insanity as well, the car chase could have been a bit better with smoother controls maybe but considering its an ad hoc thing crammed into the game engine it wasn't to bad.

Totally worth the money.

Yeah, the dossiers were funny. But a 1.8 gig download, $10, and an hour on an FPS rail to read a set of humorous text files...?
