Fallout 3 - Operation Anchorage Review @ PC Format

62% is the score for Fallout 3's Operation Anchorage DLC at PC Format:

This is Bethesda’s attempt at turning Fallout 3 into a linear run and gun shooter – in the simulation, the looting and talking are removed almost entirely, and health and ammo are replenished from glowing red pods placed in certain areas of the environment. Unfortunately, much like the ‘climactic’ battle in the game proper, the Gamebryo engine simply isn’t capable of the kind of bombast required to represent large scale conflict. What’s more, while Fallout 3’s combat is enjoyable in small doses, it’s not up to the standard of a modern FPS. Its three hours of solid combat with identical soldiers gets wearing extremely quickly with nothing else to distract you.
