    Honest Hearts gives New Vegas players a few hours worth of game time. While I liked the story and location, I didn't feel like it was terribly strong. The Burned Man wasn't all he was cracked up to be. This DLC lacked the depth that some of the content available for Fallout 3. Most of the missions involved run-and-grab type quests.

This DLC lacked the depth that some of the content available for Fallout 3. Most of the missions involved run-and-grab type quests. In comparison to Dead Money, this was easier, but more prone to glitches. Whereas Dead Money never once crashed or slowed for me, Honest Hearts was a menagerie of crashes, slow loading times, and faulty displays. I don't believe I ever stopped playing on my terms. It always ended in a system crash. Zion National Park is a beautifully rendered location for exploration, though. Fallout fans are always happy with new content. Casual players can probably avoid this until the definitive edition of New Vegas hits shelves.… Expand

    For the 360's version of Fallout NV : Honest Hearts I gave it an 8/10, simply because it was funner than Dead Money, but overall not very rewarding. However, the obvious Network interruptions with Sony has cause the PS3 version to be delayed, so expect Honest Hearts to be released around the same time that the PSN store starts back up on 5/24/2011.

Regardless, even though I have played the Xbox 360's version and rated it an 8, there is a possibility that the PS3's version will be a remarkable improvement -unlikely-, so until it's release I'll just have to give Fallout NV : Honest Hearts a 10 out of 10. Great Job!… Expand

    While I wasn't blown away by anything Honest Hearts offered, it certainly was more entertaining than Dead Money. My major complaint would be that while Zion Valley is beautifully detailed, there isn't much incentive to visit any of it's numerous locations. Another reviewer alse said that the Burned Man wasn't all he was cracked up to be, which I will second.

    Honest Hearts isn't bad per se, but it is very basic. While the beautiful scenery contrasts well with the other parts of the post-apocalyptic world the Courier visits, there is a certain lack of depth and memorable experience with this DLC. The Malpais Legate also seems rather dull after all the legends we hear about him in the base game...

    I usually am pretty satisfied when I reach the conclusion of a story, but I have to say that Honest Hearts is the most underwhelming and disappointing DLC in Fallout: New Vegas, can't believe people are hating on Dead Money when there's this big pile of disappointment sitting next to it...

    Bare-bone and short story with barely anything for the player to chew on, not worth it unless you    I usually am pretty satisfied when I reach the conclusion of a story, but I have to say that Honest Hearts is the most underwhelming and disappointing DLC in Fallout: New Vegas, can't believe people are hating on Dead Money when there's this big pile of disappointment sitting next to it...

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

    The majority of the DLC is utterly devoid of surprises, treats or interesting characters and places, and you'll soon start getting bored.

    Honest Hearts was promised as a long awaited harvest, but is rather, a shrub grown from the soils of poor choices.

    Fallout: New Vegas - Honest Hearts is a conventional but enjoyable addition to the series.
