| Requires Fallout 3 to play. The Pitt Description: The Pitt allows you to travel to the post-apocalyptic remains of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and become embroiled in a conflict between slaves and their Raider masters. Explore a sprawling settlement ravaged by time, neglect, nuclear radiation, and moral degradation. The Pitt is filled with morally grey choices, shady NPCs, new enemies, new weapons, and much more. Story: The Pitt opens with a desperate radio message, and a meeting with its sender, an escaped slave named Wernher. Wernher claims that the leader of "The Pitt" has created a cure for mutations... and he needs you to go in and retrieve it. From there, the player can proceed in a number of ways, in true Fallout 3 style. Do you fight your way in, or disguise yourself as a slave? Ally with the slaves, or join their Raider overlords? The Pitt is very morally ambiguous - there's no real right or wrong, just choices to be made, sides to be chosen, and a mystery that could send shockwaves throughout the entire Wasteland. Operation Anchorage Description: Operation: Anchorage. Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe - the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. Gain access to unique armor, weapons, and exotic gadgets while you build and command interactive Strike Teams to win the battle and defeat the Chinese base. Story: The Brotherhood Outcasts are trying to acquire advanced military technology, and the only way to open the vault containing these relics is by completing a tactical simulation only you can enter. In Operation: Anchorage you will re-live the epic Battle of Anchorage from Fallout lore. Find your way into the simulation, stripped of resources, and survive within the rules set up by the simulation’s creators. The Chinese red army is everywhere, so secure the surrounding mountain side and fight your way into the Chinese base. |

There are really 2 different things here, and I'll try and deal with them separately. Also, to try and clear up confusion, there are several ways to get these add ons. You can get them from Games for Windows LIVE (GFWL)individually, or you can buy this add on disk with the BOTH of them on it. The software is the same. With GFWL you can, get each one by itself (and others as well). If you buy this disk, you get 2 at a time.
Operation Anchorage was the first Add on that was available for Fallout 3. Personally, I didn't care for it... It takes place in a "simulation", and outside the Fallout 3 storyline. There's some that takes place in the capital wasteland, but only about 10% of it. There are some new weapons (the Gauss rifle is pretty cool), but other than that, its pretty underwhelming. I found Anchorage pretty confusing, and it gave me a headache sometimes when I had to wander around lost in a maze of nondescript frozen paths. It is very very linear, as well as being pretty boring. I could have lived without it.
The Pitt on the other hand, I enjoyed quite a bit. The Pitt takes place in Pittsburgh (hence, the Pitt). It is another decimated city like Washington DC, where there are mutants, slaves, tyrants, mercenaries, etc. It does relate somewhat back to the main Fallout 3 storyline, and does make sense. The whole environment is pretty creepy, dark, and depressing. There are some good characters, as well as some interesting places to explore and some cool weapons, armor, and weird people you encounter. There's also another "moral dilemma" choice you need to make during the story. Overall, the Pitt was really a decent add on to the main Fallout 3 storyline.
I've also played through Broken Steel and Point Lookout, both which were quite good (especially Point Lookout). I will post a review for those when they become available here on Amazon

Each of these quests add something new to the game and each is in a completely different style, both from each other and from the rest of the game. Well worth the $20.
Anchorage is nice because it's in a new environment and it's got a nice fast pace. There is no looting (except for intel items and replenishment) so it's your chance to concentrate on lots of combat. Pitt has a good story line to it and also a new and interesting environment. It has several quests that tie together, much like the long sequence of quests in the main game. |
I can't wait for more of the same.

I love this game and it's add ons. I hope that they are developing more as there is so much of the world left to explore. Amazon is the best!
This is a must have game. |

I finished this games twice in different level of difficulty and the second time I visit every possible location in the game by the book. I love it.
The game play is great, the weapons, the interface, the installation, the settings adjust automatically to your graphic capabilities in the computer and still you can re-adjusted manually/ The many places in the game are all different in looks and approach, transporting yourself in the game to different
places is easy and practical. Almost every thing that you see you can climb or go to with no restrictions. It compensates the player for completing missions and tasks better than any other game that I play before. The Cities, Towns, Forts, Caves, Farms, the enemy sizes, graphics and power to me also are the best including the AI that is great and the freedom of choices including ways to fight. Radio stations and the DJ's were great they even make comments on your missions past and present. Also I live in the DC area which is where the game takes place. Oh and the Music and sound are also great.
finally I though it was super entertaining and funny because of enemy behavior a la first HALO. Te missions and explorations that are so unique and Which I believe to be great. Sorry my wife is rushing me for an errand. Thanks NP Gaithersburg, Md. USA note: I was talking about Fallout 3 all of it! |
long time waiting

| i have played the original fallout 3 and the additions operation anchorage and the pitt really make it a fantastic game. The pitt is a challenge as you have no weapons to start. Dark Dirty place with some interesting people and of course a Warlord. Anchorage on the other side is all Snow white out not as exciting but to exciting. i enjoyed the pitt better. |
