Fallout 3 - The Pitt Review Roundup

Bethsoft has a roundup of Fallout 3: The Pitt reviews, some of which we've missed, so I'm going to rip their list for you here:

  Reviews for The Pitt have made their way online. Videogamer.com says, "“I had a great time with The Pitt, and it single-handedly reinvigorated my interest in Bethesda's masterpiece.” Additional reviews can be read at Gamespy, Eurogamer , GameFocus, Feed Your Console, Gaming Nexus, Koku Gamer, Atomic Gamer, Game and Player, and What If Gaming. 

GameSpy is the big one in that list, so here's a sample from them (4/5):

Disappointingly, The Pitt was released as a corrupted file to countless Xbox Live users. How much goodwill can you lose by releasing a broken, buggy product? $10 is not an insignificant amount of money for what amounts to a couple hours of content. Since the re-release of the download, users are still reporting rampant freezing issues and assorted other bugs, some reporting a complete inability to access the new content. Xbox Live offers no refunds, so they're left with little recourse. In my own experience with the current version of The Pitt, I got stuck in a wall without being able to get out, forcing me to reload and wasting considerable time.

I enjoyed The Pitt far more than I did Operation Anchorage, despite its problematic release. It feels like an extension of the core game, embracing the soul and the RPG fineries of the original game while still taking a step in a new direction. If your level 20 character, like mine, is a min-maxed weapon of destruction, you may want to crank up the difficulty. But even if you do cruise through any battle, you'll still find that The Pitt's locations are a pleasure to explore, and completionists will find a great collection challenge here that will keep them busy for quite some time.
