WorthPlaying goes with a 9.0/10:
Broken Steel does a great job of both extending the Fallout story a bit longer and creating incentive to keep playing even after you've "beaten" the game. The only real downsides are that the same ending cinematic still plays after you finish the stopping point of the main game, proclaiming the "end of the story of the lone wanderer" even though you wake up two weeks later and keep right on adventuring. Also, the difficulty level may be a bit of a shock to some players, as there are some incredibly hard moments for characters that aren't fully leveled and packing amazing equipment like the alien blaster. Still, the third time is truly the charm for Bethesda, as they have released what is an absolute must-own DLC pack for Fallout 3 fans. With the Tesla Cannon, increased level cap and great new perks, I think we can finally forgive them for the horse armor.
While Boomtown goes with a perfect 10/10:
This is without doubt the best DLC to date, and it makes the anticipation for the next two pieces of content that have just been announced even greater. After creating this masterpiece, Bethesda has a mighty task creating something just as good. I can't recommend Broken Steel highly enough. If you have Fallout 3, you need Broken Steel to go with it.
