The changes in gameplay are refreshing and the challenge level which results from them make it a satisfying experience. It is not painfully difficult, just pleasantly so, and its running time of roughly three hours is long enough to be enjoyable without becoming monotonous.

I love Fallout 3. I love it to an almost indecent extent. It was far and away my game of 2008, and doesn't look like being knocked out of my personal top spot for a good while yet. But when you sift out its role-play, the ammo-box inspection and the exploration and draft in a fleet of health and ammo regeneration points to compensate... well, affairs just feel shallow and somewhat naked.

Ultimately, it's the die-hard Fallout 3 fans that should enjoy this new chapter in the series' history, and those same fans who may end up slightly annoyed after the fact. Operation Anchorage doesn't answer many questions regarding the lead-up to the big war, but it's an interesting piece of the puzzle that fits into the overall game without feeling out of place.

Its worst DLS of Fallout.Because its a shooter, not a RPG. Moreover, its a bad shooter!

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

Un DLC catastrophique pour l'excellent jeu de rôle Fallout 3 qu'on ne reconnaît plus ici... il s'agit en effet d'un merdier très court et dirigiste au scénario inexistant sous le sale prétexte de revivre ce morceau d'invasion des cocos maoïstes : ce n'est alors que de l'action de gros bourrin sans intérêt aucun... On dézingue à tout va, de façon très répétitive et vite lassé d'utiliser le VATS, ce qui met en relief le temps réel peu convaincant lorsqu'on joue à Fallout 3 comme un FPS standard : ce n'est certainement pas convaincant... même constat pour l'infltration traitée par dessus la jambe ici et carrément inexploitable. En vérité, on s'emmerde tellement vite là-dedans qu'on veut sortir le plus vite possible de ce cauchemar foireux ! Une opération désastreuse donc et totalement indigne du jeu original ; le mieux est de faire comme si nous n'avions rien vu ou rien joué de cette pathétique avanie.

Clocking it at 3-4 hours, Operation Anchorage isn't extremely long, and some gamers may wish for more for their 800 points. However, most of that time is spent in combat, and the quest line feels intentionally designed to provide the best experience, with absolutely no fluff or filler to artificially pad the expansion's length.

Operation: Anchorage plays like a giant action movie taking place in the Fallout 3 universe, and those of you who enjoyed the main game but haven’t tried this out yet are really missing out.

Fallout 3's DLC Operation Anchorage is a great DLC it has a great story, that gives you a look back at the beginning of the war that started the apocalypse, it adds new weapons, characters, achievements, and a slightly different gameplay style, the only problem I can find with it is that it has glitches and it is extremely short, this is definitely worth the $10 asking price, and I highly recommend it to any fan of the game.

Bethesda says Operation Anchorage takes 3-4 hours to complete. I’d put that number at more like 2-3, but for only $10 it represents moderate gaming bang for your buck. I’m hoping future DLC will be much better.

Swaps out top questing for dumb blasting. [Apr 2009, p.61]

All in all, Operation: Anchorage provides an entertaining experience, but does not nearly live up to the “4-6 hours” of gameplay that was promised.
58
Overall, it's a short DLC that doesn't have much in terms of role playing.

Swag aside, there's nothing in this reductionist hotchpotch for fans of what Fallout 3 does so well. [Apr 2009, p.103]

Fallout 3 - Operation: Anchorage is Fallout 3's first dlc and is a great one. You meet the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts and try to access a sealed armory full of equipment. To do so you need to complete a virtual reality session that takes you into the battlegrounds of Alaska. The simulation is action packed and fun to play. Once you beat the simulation you unlock an armory that has powerful weapons and a set of some of the best armor in the game. This dlc is relatively linear and short that doesn't take long to beat. This dlc is really fun, but I wish it was a little longer.

This is the second dlc I have played for fallout 3, and after a crap dlc [Mothership Zeta] This dlc was much better than the last one I played. Operation Anchorage was more like a FPS than a RPG if you ask me, but it was cool. You can choose what units you want in combat which was cool. Operation Anchorage has a bit too much combat like Mothership Zeta but din't really care about that in Operation Anchorage. Some very cool new weapon's like the Guass rifle or the Chinese offieir's sword and some good power armor which beats Mothership Zeta's weapons going down the plug hole. It was also a bit short but worth buying. Fallout 3 - Operation Anchorage 7.8/10

I thought that this DLC was pretty good. Operation Anchorage was different compared to the regular Fallout 3, the gameplay was lot more action **** plot was nothing special,defeating the chinese in a simulation about operation anchorage.This DLC is pretty short, compleating it will take 3-4 **** in the end of the Operation Anchorage you will get the Best armor, and one of the best weapons in Fallout **** overall this DLC was pretty good.
