    This DLC will make you suffer. It will make you squirm in pain. It'll make you develop cusses the human ear has yet to hear, not unlike **** godamnitychrist, and **** It will make you fear radio static. It will make you despise intercoms. And yet.. somehow after going through all this torture, the end story makes me feel just... wow. I think the plot REALLY makes up for this... Basically,This DLC will make you suffer.

Basically, it makes the pain you felt into a lesson about greed. You'll enjoy this if you like some darkness to your world, and some difficulty to your Fallout. Two words. Bear. Traps.… Expand

    This just doesn't feel like fallout to me. It's too linear and everything you build up, every weapon you have lost.
    Worst thing is that it completely breaks the game. The lag is incredible and the game also froze a couple of times.

    One of the better bits of Fallout DLC. Doesn't completely crash the game like some of Fallout 3s DLC but if you are on ps3, expect a laggy experience, just like the main game. All in all the characters are quite interesting and it does provide a few more hours of enjoyment out of New Vegas if you've done everything there is to do..

    Dead Money was tardy to class on the PS3. Released a couple of months after the X-Box 360 version, it's hard for PS3 lovers to leave the bitterness at the door. The difficult reputation earned by this expansion during that absent period was not incorrect. This is one tough expansion, yet it doesn't feel as complete or as complex as those released for Fallout 3. One major improvement overDead Money was tardy to class on the PS3.

This is one tough expansion, yet it doesn't feel as complete or as complex as those released for Fallout 3. One major improvement over New Vegas is the lack of lag time and bugs that nearly crippled the New Vegas playing experience. Casual players may want to skip this DLC until the definitive version of New Vegas is released. Even hardcore players may want to wait as well.… Expand

    I know this review is a long time after the party but I can still give one. Played this DLC when it first came out, I HATED it. Could not stand it and just wanted it to end so I could get back to the main game. Played it a couple months after and I fell in love with it.

Played this DLC when it first came out, I HATED it. Could not stand it and just wanted it to end so I could get back to the main game. Played it a couple months after and I fell in love with it. The suspense and nightmarish way of walking through a blood red, dead city, fighting off zombie like residences was awesome. Yes, it was difficult on some parts but it made it more fun. The end fight with Elijah was kind of a letdown. If your skills are high enough, you can get him to come down while you run out the door. I know you can fight him, but that was also a letdown. He was just too easy to take down. Other then that, I would definitely recommend this DLC.… Expand

    The story is fairly interesting, the characters are great and the way you have to play it is interesting and intense. The new weapons and gear aren't that interesting, but this is definetly worth checking out.

    This is easily one of the best DLC's of the Fallout series.

    Dead Money is actually very interesting and its atmosphere quite unique. It serves as an exciting addition to Fallout: New Vegas. Too bad you can't go back to the Sierra Madre...

    I feel like I just NEED to voice my opinion after seeing such a divide among the user review on this DLC on multiple platforms, and since I originally played it on PS3, so here I come!

    I'm gonna be honest, this is the best Fallout DLC I've played to date, it's harsh, it's unforgiving, it makes you scrounge to survive and does a helluva great job in making every single encounter as an intense survival battle, just like it should normally be in a post-apocalyptic, right?

    This DLC is not for everyone. SURVIVAL CHALLENGE with minimal equipment is basically what it is, just like when you first started the game, but in this case everything is on a harsher and harder level. If you like being challenged then this is it for you, you won't find anything better than this in the world of Fallout.    … Expand

    One of the best games to the series and an All-time Classic. Also, the last Decent Fallout Game!

    Completely different gameplay than the main game. A lot of sneaking, many traps, narrowness, confusing corridors, invincible enemies....

    A missed opportunity, with Dead Money focusing on mostly the worst aspects of New Vegas. [Issue#203, p.98]

    Though the new gear is lackluster, the path opened to the level 35 cap and new perks is fair compensation.

    Obsidian delivers a first DLC that matches their Fallout: New Vegas : tense, captivating, despite its linearity. With a tiny bit more difficulty! Once more, we'd almost forget about the aging 3D engine of Bethesda and the poor AI. I experienced it like a little pen & paper RPG scenario of a single night. My thanks to the Obisidian Game Master.
