User Review : Mass Effect: Bring Down the Sky

Ups
  • Good value{Good final boss battle
Downs
  • Space dungeons pretty much the same as the current ones{Short

Not bad but wished it was a bigger expansion

The new DLC Bring for Mass Effect called "Bring down the sky" is nothing exciting. Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.

First you need to acquire the Normandy which can take a while. When you finally can leave the Citadel and go to the galaxy map you will see that the Exodus Cluster has a mission. The mission is basically the same as all the other side missions for Mass Effect but lasts longer and there’s a bit of change. There are 3 space dungeons which are like the mercenary bases seen in other side missions but the layout of each one is different but it’s not a big change.

There’s a decent amount of dialogue in the DLC where you talk to Batarians and Humans. You will also find out a bit more on the history of the galaxy i.e. in this case the Batarians. There are choices to be made in the DLC which can result in death or a 2nd option. The most impressive part is when you fight the Batarian leader at the end of the mission. It takes place in brand new geometry. The fight occurs in a huge well design room where a epic battle occurs. The enemies that are found include Heavy Turrents, Vassels, Drones, Batarian engineers and soldiers.

The ending does suggest there will be more DLC to come.

No improvement in graphics. Still graphics are good

Same sounds as before. Batarians like most other Aliens found in Mass Effect sound human.

The new DLC didn't offer that much but for only 400 points it was good value for any Mass Effect fan

Yeah I was glad that there was at least ONE new map for fighting. I would of been pretty upset. I liked the turrents outside the bunkers as well for you had to move and shake with the Mako so you could kill them while staying alive ;)

It did give a little ripple in the story for something to come off it in the next 2 parts. I was suprised how often the loading came up for this since it was a dl extra and the pop in textures are still around.

They are up and close fighters at times and I haven't beaten down so many baddies in ME till these guys. It certainly isn't bad for 5 bucks.

Top Sexiest Females Exclusive to the Xbox This Generation

Jonathan Lynch writes: "When it comes to games, this generation of home consoles hasn't seen nearly as many exclusive as systems in the past did. But both Sony and Microsoft have done quite well at securing a few great exclusives each. And of course we're running down the sexiest female characters to appear in those titles. We did a list of the top five sexiest female characters to appear in Playstation 3 exclusives last week and we have to show the same respect to the women of the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 made it pretty easy with some great looking ladies."

The joanna cosplay is weird. She's lacking the HIPS! all the other are nice.

BattersUp5865d ago

wha what? She's hot. The Christie is the hottest of them all though. STACKED!

Qui-Gon Jim5865d ago

That Christie costume is probably the second best made cosplay costume I've ever seen, after an amazing Big Daddy suit (thought it's not something go looking for, either) and it, um, fits well. From what I have seen, it's pretty rare to have both.

ProjectVulcan5865d ago

Im not sure if it was possible, but yes, a real life cosplay of a DOA character like christie here has a bigger bust than what the crazed tecmo perverts endowed their creation with....

Mo0eY5865d ago

Well, bots have nothing better to do than to rub one off to digital females since they're all hitting puberty.

Godmars2905865d ago

Given that Christie is part of the DOA "Harem" which is also the beach volley ball game, which is on the PSP, isn't she off the list?

In other word: she's only temporarily exclusive...

vgchica5865d ago

Not since the article states it's for consoles. At least that's how I took it.

Qui-Gon Jim5865d ago

Are we seriously going to argue exclusivity with what amounts to soft-core porn?

dgroundwater5865d ago

My thoughts exactly. Kids here can't even look at tits without worrying about their fanboyism around here.

Godmars2905865d ago

May not actually have been funny, but at least it was an attempt.

TeamXbox: GDC 2010: Mass Effect 2 DLC First Look

Mass Efect 2's consistent stream of free downloadable content through the in-game Cerberus network has set a new standard of quality for stuff you don't have to pay for. Never before has a video game given more extra content for free; missions, characters, weapons… all really big things. So for the first "real" DLC pack, the first paid one at least, BioWare knows that they need to up the ante. Kasumi: Stolen Memory, the first paid DLC for Mass Effect 2 needs to be worth being paid for.

For $29.99 each, the new prints feature the locations of Minuteman Station and Omega, as well as the characters of Jack and Garrus doing what they do best. BioWare hasn't shipped them out yet, but some alluring yellow text promises they'll be sent out Tuesday..."
