    Another two or three hours quality game play added to this fantastic game. Still i find that it does not add anything new, and the value for money is not very good once you have already finished the main ME3 mission. Because once you have completed the DLC mission you are the captain once again who has nothing to do on his ship. The regular ME 2 gave me more than 50 hours of game play forAnother two or three hours quality game play added to this fantastic game. Still i find that it does not add anything new, and the value for money is not very good once you have already finished the main ME3 mission. Because once you have completed the DLC mission you are the captain once again who has nothing to do on his ship. The regular ME 2 gave me more than 50 hours of game play for 49 euro. So paying 6 95 for two more hours is a bit to expensive in my opinion. It would have been a much better deal to put all DLC in one package for this price. But i guess EA is exploiting the succes of their magnificent game a bit to much. (Wouldn't you do the same thing if you were in their place?) I wish ME3 was here......… Expand

    Decent enough storyline for a DLC
    In typical EA fashion its to short for the cost of the DLC at release
    Id pay max $1.50 for amount of content this offered up

    Again, not a reflection of quality of content
    Just not enough of it to validate the costs that were being asked

    Takes a dangling plot thread and ties it up, but unsatisfyingly and with a lot of repetitious combat.

    One of Mass Effect 2's most thrilling missions. [Dec 2010, p.64]

    Biowares DLC hasn't been all that great, but Lair of the Shadow Broker is just awesome and really adds something to the story. It should not be missed by any Mass Effect fan.
