    Lonesome Road delivers on every level but creates more questions than it answers. For the fan, Lonesome Road offers a nice story line that will last for up to eight hours. It's just too linear, making it less enjoyable then some of the other downloadable content that's available for New Vegas.

    Each one has its flaws (with linearity being Lonesome Road's biggest drawback), but overall they're a fantastic, collective achievement by Obsidian and should make the (surely) inevitable New Vegas 'Collectors Edition' a must-buy for anyone who hasn't yet sampled these expansions.

    In this case, only Fallout fans desperate for more content should embark on this oddly paced journey through the Divide.

    Remember how you got shot in the head at the beginning of New Vegas? Well, that bullet was actually meant for the courier Ulysses. Sounds good, but it actually isn't. [Nov 2011, p.97]

    This is a mostly-linear romp that's shorter than Old World Blues, less interesting, and feels more, well, lonely than any Fallout game ever made.

Fun new place to explore, a choice that effects the Mojave, plenty of gear to keep me entertained, and all new perks to increase my character's abilities. The only thing I don't like is the main (and only) series of quests is too linear and not nearly as interesting as the other DLCs, but if your as big of a Fallout fan as I am or bigger, it'll be enough for you.… Full Review »

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

    The final Fallout New Vegas DLC offers up some fun things for the devoted fans of the series, but it's nowhere near as fun or engaging as OldThe final Fallout New Vegas DLC offers up some fun things for the devoted fans of the series, but it's nowhere near as fun or engaging as Old World Blues. The universally accepted major flaw of Lonesome Road is that the story presented in Lonesome Road is very linear. The previous DLCs have their own problems, but lack of an engrossing story wasn't one of them. Lonesome Road doesn't seem as deep or relevant as the previous three efforts. The final conflict between the Courier and Ulysses has been built up and teased at nearly every turn with Fallout New Vegas. To say that confrontation is less than satisfying is an understatement. Still, anyone looking for more Fallout won't be terribly disappointed.… Full Review »
