Fallout 3 Game Add-On Pack: Operation Anchorage and The Pitt
There are really 2 different things here, and I’ll try and deal with them separately. Also, to try and clear up confusion, there are several ways to get these add ons. You can get them from Games for Windows LIVE (GFWL)individually, or you can buy this add on disk with the BOTH of them on it. The software is the same. With GFWL you can, get each one by itself (and others as well). If you buy this disk, you get 2 at a time.
Operation Anchorage was the first Add on that was available for Fallout 3. Personally, I didn’t care for it… It takes place in a “simulation”, and outside the Fallout 3 storyline. There’s some that takes place in the capital wasteland, but only about 10% of it. There are some new weapons (the Gauss rifle is pretty cool), but other than that, its pretty underwhelming. I found Anchorage pretty confusing, and it gave me a headache sometimes when I had to wander around lost in a maze of nondescript frozen paths. It is very very linear, as well as being pretty boring. I could have lived without it.
The Pitt on the other hand, I enjoyed quite a bit. The Pitt takes place in Pittsburgh (hence, the Pitt). It is another decimated city like Washington DC, where there are mutants, slaves, tyrants, mercenaries, etc. It does relate somewhat back to the main Fallout 3 storyline, and does make sense. The whole environment is pretty creepy, dark, and depressing. There are some good characters, as well as some interesting places to explore and some cool weapons, armor, and weird people you encounter. There’s also another “moral dilemma” choice you need to make during the story. Overall, the Pitt was really a decent add on to the main Fallout 3 storyline.
I’ve also played through Broken Steel and Point Lookout, both which were quite good (especially Point Lookout). I will post a review for those when they become available here on Amazon
Rating: 5 / 5
Basically it’s the DLC on a disk. It comes with a cool poster with vault boy all over it. Loses a star because it downgrades fallout 3 to v1.4 if not careful, but can easily be fixed.
(UPDATE)
It also removes the need for a disk to be in the drive to play Fallout 3! I wish i could give this game’s one lost star back but amazo won’t let me so this product is 5/5 stars!
Rating: 4 / 5
I feel compelled to review this, seeing that it has 1 star overall.
This is not a bad product. If you enjoyed Fallout 3, you will like this game. It adds the first two expansions (or DLCs), Operation Anchorage and The Pitt.
If you have not tried these yet because you did not want to use Games for Windows Live, I would highly recommend this.
As for the “malware” it installs, I have had no problems with Securom. [...]
-*Buy this if you liked Fallout 3*- It will add hours of fun to your game!

While Fallout 3 is great, buyer beware! This does not work with the Steam digital download version of the game. I had to return it. The only way to buy add-ons for the Steam version is through Live.
Rating: 1 / 5
I love this game and it’s add ons. I hope that they are developing more as there is so much of the world left to explore. Amazon is the best!
This is a must have game.
