Although the implementation is very limited and the series of five missions can be completed in an hour or less, I greatly enjoyed taking the Hammerhead for a spin—doubly so, since I felt that Mass Effect 2's removal of both Mako and planetary exploration was a huge error.

The Firewalker is like the hotheaded younger brother of the Mako. It will likely get more nods than jeers from the fans, but the fun is over in less than an hour. Maybe we’ll see a healthy amalgam of the two vehicles faithfully integrated in the third game.

It's a mixed bag, some missions are very tedious and boring, while others are fun. Controlling the hammerhead feels smooth to be honest, but sometimes it just doesn't work as intended. The ending is interesting but I wish they expanded on it, because once you finish it, there is no reward, which makes it a waste of time. Final Rating: "Weak" ~ 4/10.

"Mass Effect 2: Firewalker": Average game, it provides an average experience for the player. 4 out of 7. Played it on Xbox 360.

Firewalker, though distributed free of charge, will not affect the plot in any way. Several missions to explore new planets, on the likeness of missions with M35 Mako of Mass Effect. Yes the new transport M-44 Hammerhead is interesting, it is interesting to ride, but it was cut from Mass Effect 3.

One of Mass Effect 2's best DLC, it's not very long but manages to be a fun time and offer some different gameplay than what the main game offered, it gives you a new vehicle called the Hammerhead that controls wonderfully and five new missions tied to it, and a pretty interesting story that will hopefully be continued in Mass Effect 3, because I just didn't really get any closer, and I'm really curious to see if one thing in it affects Mass Effect 3, my only complaints are that it's short and leaves you wanting more, and the vehicle combat could have been a little better, but as a free DLC I highly recommend picking this up if your a Mass Effect 2 fan, a great DLC.
