5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect ending to a perfect game!, August 18, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Fallout 3 Downloadable Content: Mothership Zeta (Video Game)

The Mothership Zeta DLC for Fallout 3 marks the final installment of expansions for the game, and what a way to wrap it all up!
Fallout 3 was my pick for best game of 2008. After nearly a year after it's release, I still play it like it was brand new, and that would be
true even without all the DLC add-ons! One of my favorite things about the game were the two interactions you could have with aliens
(the crash site and the random event involving the firelance). So when Bethesda announced that the final DLC for Fallout 3 would take place
on an alien spacecraft, I was counting the days until it's release, and it didn't disappoint!

Mothership Zeta finds your wasteland character abducted onto an alien mothership. From there, you must find a way off the ship and return
to earth. Along the way, you can choose to help other abducted people, many of which are from various countries and times in earth's history, very
cool! The weaponry is amazing and plentiful. New items and even a new perk can be found on the ship. The ship itself is huge, and will take many
hours of gameplay to search thoroughly!

That's about all I can say without giving much away. There are numerous surprises awaiting you, many of which are laugh-out-loud funny.
All of the DLC expansions have been unique and different, and Mothership Zeta is no exception. If you own Fallout 3, then this DLC
is a must have! It's a fun and exciting adventure that is unlike anything else you'll find in the world of Fallout 3 that is well worth it's asking price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mars Attacks!, November 26, 2009

There were two places I absolutely had to visit in Fallout 3: Dogmeat and the crashed spacecraft. With the new downloadable content, Mothership Zeta, what was once a visit to a spooky alien craft turns into a full-fledged abduction scenario.

After being beamed up by into a saucer, the player is subjected to a disturbing sequence in which the aliens conduct experiments with painful probes. You wake up naked in a holding cell with another abductee, Somah, and have to fight your way to freedom.

Like The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage, this content is an entirely self-contained environment. You're in a spacecraft, after all. The green men, with their guardian drones, pack personal force fields and painful disintegrators that make the weapon you found on the dead alien in Fallout 3 look like a pop gun.

Leading the way through the labyrinthine architecture is Sally, a little girl who is small enough to traverse the ductwork. With a nod to Newt from the movie Aliens, she is at turns annoying (not all of her advice is sound) and helpful. You eventually are joined by other abductees awoken from cryo-sleep, including a samurai, a cowboy, and a medic abducted from Operation: Anchorage.

Like Operation: Anchorage, Mothership Zeta forces cocky players to change their tactics. The aliens are physically weaker but they make up for it with powerful weapons and armor. They come in groups of three or more and attack in enclosed spaces. Mothership Zeta is no cakewalk.

Along the way, the aliens plans are revealed. Creepy tapes of abductees being interviewed and experimented are littered throughout the ship. At one point, the player must conduct a spacewalk - although there's not much of a challenge in doing so. The finale is suitably climactic as you attempt to command the ship to fire on another UFO while fending off wave after wave of angry aliens. The win is hard-earned.

Mothership Zeta provides a few items that will be valuable back on Earth: biogel (heals hundreds of hit points), a disintegrator (inflicts massive amounts of damage in a single shot), and the energy ball-bouncing drone cannon (acts as a grenade but is very imprecise). When I returned to the regular Fallout 3 game, I used the drone cannon to devastating effect, especially because you can bounce the shots around corners.

Motership Zeta isn't for everyone. The foes are a bit repetitive, and listening to the alien chatter (they don't speak English, natch) gets old fast. More often than not I had to resort to bashing their big green heads in with a shock baton - ugly work, as the aliens squeal with every hit. But for fans of 50s science fiction, little green men, and Mars Attacks, this is a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mothership Zeta must buy if you love Fallout 3., August 7, 2009

If you love fallout 3 and can`t get enough then this is a must buy. Yes the $10 DLC`s are getting very old and expensive. I have all 5 of the $10 downloads for this game. Beat them all but I am still working on this one. I have not been dissapointed yet but I love this game. I dont recommend this if you dont love the game or havent played it for about 50 hours. Fallout 3 has tons of stuff to do before buying any DLC`s. You could spend 100`s of hours playing it like I have. If you have seen almost everything in the game and love the game then I recommend getting all 5 $10 downloads if you have the money. Some of these down loads seem to not have much to do with the game. 3 or 4 of them anyway but I still love them. They always have cool new weapons, characters, villians and items. The achievements are fun to get too if you are playing on 360. troyoy
