The first is at GameSpy with a score of 4/5:
Broken Steel doesn't fuss too much with the existing formula, but it does provide more adventure that easily lives up to the high standards set by Fallout 3. Highly recommended.
The second is at Gaming Heaven with a score of 88/100:
Broken Steel will prove a great purchase for fans of Fallout 3 and offers more value for money when compared to previous releases. The new level cap of 30 adds a lot of play time to the experience and by allowing the game to be played beyond the main quest the developers have offered exactly what the fans have been asking for. A mere 800 gamer points stands between you and this enjoyable romp so I see no reason not to give it a full thumbs up.
The third is at Kotaku with no score:
Broken Steel adds about five hours of new quests to what used to be the end of Fallout 3. It raises Fallout 3's level cap from 20 to 30, introduces some new weapons, perks and enemies. The expansion is set two weeks after the base game and spans the full game map plus new regions. Broken Steel puts the player in the service of the heroic, armored Brotherhood of Steel on a series of group and solo missions to defeat the enemy Enclave's most powerful weapon of war.
The fourth is at VG-Reloaded with a score of 8.8/10:
Broken Steel maybe short-lived, but it does offer replay value if you save before certain decisions. Overall it's damn impressive and makes me hope that this isn't the end for Fallout 3 DLC.
The fifth is at The Start Screen with no score:
So, is Broken Steel worth the 10 dollars? Definitely. It adds new perks, weapons, enemies, and allows players to play after the games first ending as well as raising it'˜s level cap. I really see no reason to not buy it. With all the other content they've released, it's all worth the $30.00 you could potentially spend. Each expansion adds another 2 to 3 hours gameplay, and you're essentially you're buying a full game(subject to today's standards of course) for half the price.
And the sixth is at Evolved Gaming with a score of 9/10:
Overall, I think that if someone was considering getting only one expansion for Fallout 3 this would be the wise one to get. It adds more to the actual game itself, instead of having the player visit a new location; and encourages people to play more by raising the level cap.
