Not as good as actual game. Better than other DLC.

The main quest is interesting revolving around a rivalry that takes place in the island. The story is unrelated to the setting which made the plot seem disconnected with other events happening on the island. You would expect to find out more about the tribes and locals of Point Lookout by completing the main quest but instead you go on this tangent plot line of characters that migth as well have inhabited the Wasteland. The new weapons are mostly for mele attacks which is the least interesting combat feature of the game. The new clothing is also not as interesting as what's included in other download packs (i.e. the stealth armor from Operation Anchorage). The area itself of point lookout is much more interesting to explore than that of any other download packs but still not as interesting to explore as the wasteland. The new enemies have a tendency to run directly at you which makes combat less strategic and interesting than on the main quest. The side quests included are much more fun and varied than on any other DLC pack for Fallout however you do not get achievements for every single quest which takes away from your willingness to do everything. Overall, I would still buy this because it is reasonably priced and allows me to play some more Fallout!
