Although I have allready all DLCs and original game which deserve 9 out of 10 (-1 for simple thing which is irritating only for me when you look down you don't see Adams legs I decided to support developers with getting DC version. I really liked advertised features: official game guide, game+ mode, integrated Missing Link into story arc, improved graphics, new achievements, developers commentary and SmartGlass integration. Unfortunately this edition is completely, utterly broken. Here are details of what is missing or broken: - Official Game guide apparently it was only marketing mistake missing in Xbox version - improved graphics I don't see any of that, period - no installation option on Xbox 360 - few bugs prohibiting player to advance in the story - new achievements and SmartGlass due to developer/publisher mistake game is recognized not as DC but as normal edition that's why this two features are missing this is a MAJOR fubar and Square Enix is doing nothing to resolve situation. They should offer full refund for customers for laying in marketing materials and delivering broken product. If you want to play this game, please buy second hand copy.

To summarize other user reviews. If you completely in love with ME3 especially combat mechanic then you should purchase this DLC, if you dislike arcade and dull multiplayer combat skip it. There isn't much new to story, furthermore after you complete DLC Aria is still sitting in Citadel like nothing happened. DLC is full of bugs, though I must admit that lightening effects were impressive. Omega isn't as entertaining as Shadow Broker for ME2. For me it wasn't worth 1200MSP.

This ending should be in game in first place. Some of major plot holes was patched in Extended Cut. One can say now game is fully finished product. But still I have expected MOAR from Bioware and Mass Effect franchise, at least comparing this ending with jaw dropping Suicide Mission from Mass Effect 2. All things considered next time I will wait before pre-ordering EA game.

Sound design: Musical score is excellent. In previous games music resembles space-opera in ME3 music has different tone, more depressing which perfectly matches Sheppard current mission - save sapient life in Milky Way galaxy from Reapers. Voice acting is superb and guns sounds heavy as it should be. Great achievement. Graphical presentation: I'm little disappointed. After replaying ME2 and switching directly to ME3 you can see low resolution textures on character models, maybe it is subjective but still is hard to distinguish different items on casual outfits. Some armor models looks better then others. Lightening and reflection on armor are far worse then in previous title. Backgrounds on early stages of game looks like it made in first Xbox times, but it seems as story progresses you loose track and graphic start to look better. Like I said - completely subjective feeling.. In the begging of game on Earth, when you look down you can see strange 2D people running from the building which reminds me first games on PS1 and there are some glitches - Sheppard have some problem with eyes in early stages of game ;) Gameplay: Action oriented, fast and rewarding. Your squad mates are usually helpful, but sometimes when you order them to shoot at Banshee they charge right in front of her dying in result. On harder difficulty levels this can be irritating. N7 Cerberus missions are taking place on Multiplayer maps and are quite boring - same with multiple fetch quests. I miss hiding gun animation and roaming freely. Story: First act of game is quite boring, but as you play you get more and more immersed into universe. Characters from ME2 and quests feel a little forced and doesn't have depth - example: Zaed or Kasumi, but this is minor accusation Ending: It's true. Rage is acceptable. Full of plot holes and doesn't explain anything. If you take it directly the ending could be explained as: Reapers has won - either they destroy everything, or you inflict so massive damage to galaxy that you wiped out all species and solar systems with reapers. The only explanation is Indoctrination Theory. We all could be indoctrinated by Bioware - if it's true, and we will now in April then it's most incredible achievement in gaming history - but still making DLC for incomplete game is horrible act - even when it will be released free of charge. To sum up: AWSOME!

One of the most addictive on-line games I have ever played at one end, and completely shallow campaign and buggy co-op mode on other. Not what was advertised. Incredible realistic sound effects and quite ugly visuals with low resolution textures. You should decide by yourself - I quite frankly like it, but on technology front it's step back - just compare Frostbite/Battlefield with CryEngine/Crysis 2 on Xbox 360..

I'm not criticizing day one DLC that came on disc, since I have pre-ordered Collectors Edition and for me this add-on was free, more importantly gamers should have learned by now all EA cash grabbing tricks. Mission isn't remarkable, hell it's like another Cerberus (horde) mission - nothing new, nothing fancy and nothing inspiring and damn short. Javik is fine member and have some good lines and he can give you some insight on Protheans (not enough though). This isn't masterpiece like Shadow Broker DLC for Mass Effect 2. If you own CE you are at home, if you don't - DLC isn't worth price.
