Mass Effect Pinnacle Station DLC Review

AtomicGamer brings us a surprisingly favorable review of BioWare and Demiurge’s recently released Pinnacle Station DLC for Mass Effect. The overall score is an 80%, with this closing paragraph:

Pinnacle Station is really not a bad value at all for $5 – when I compare it to Fallout 3’s Operation Anchorage DLC add-on (which is very similar in nature to this one taken in the context of its respective game), I feel like you get just as much for half the price. That being said, anyone who didn’t get into Mass Effect’s tactical shooter action is likely to hate this add-on even more than the original. But if you’re looking to get your Shepard battle-ready for Mass Effect 2 and want to beef up your combat skills, this is a damn good add-on to have – assuming you’re fine with none of the actual accomplishments or loot you’ll get actually carrying over into the sequel. I’ll recommend Pinnacle Station to anyone who’s been through the game at least once or twice and just wants to eke out a bit more fun before the sequel hits, but completionists or those who didn’t fall entirely in love with Mass Effect can safely skip it.
