    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.

    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.
