DLC Complete: Mass Effect 2 - The Lair of the Shadow Broker

Completed: 4th January 2011 (22:30) Involved: Played missions through to the end, explored all content, unlocked all DLC-specific achievements. Summary: The new locations were all very interesting, taking the action in a different direction from the rest of the game. I thought there was a lot of combat, which was fine, but I'd have liked a little more buildup prior to the shit hitting the fan....

Summary: The new locations were all very interesting, taking the action in a different direction from the rest of the game. I thought there was a lot of combat, which was fine, but I'd have liked a little more buildup prior to the shit hitting the fan. There are a good number of setpieces that all feel different, and kept it interesting. It wasn't quite long enough but I paid a low price due to the Christmas Sale (200 Microsoft Points) so it felt like great value. Its the best piece of DLC I've played for the game so far, as it feels unique.
 
Next: I'm done with this DLC, but I have Overlord to play through too, before prepping for a 2nd run at the final mission of the base game...
