slightly overrating because I'm turning my mind back 2.5 years and probably remembering the only interesting parts but I think it's pretty good that Mass Effect 1 was able to pull off an engaging DLC like this. compelling scenario with a good payoff in ME3.

Neat little DLC. Nothing crazy but DOES get you one of the best Omni-Tools in the game (give it to Tali) at the small small price of finding 3 deceased scientists (sad)

Also opens up a cool interaction in ME3. I like it but not the best DLC in the Mass Effect saga

And so, Mass Effect's biggest punching bag race was born

I forgot how good this DLC was,
It introduced us to the Batarians and was the first Mass Effect DLC and what a good start this was

Playtime: 1 Hour
Score: 7/10

Bit of a new experience for me as while I have played through Mass Effect 1 before, I never played this DLC. But since I have the Legendary edition and I'm replaying the games, I wanted to give this a play.

Its got a cool story setup of terroists hjacking an astroid and setting it on course to collide with a inhabited planet. While it is basically a glorified side quest, it does have more production value then your typical side quest in this game and I liked it. You also get a cool choice of reward at the end of it, so its worth playing for that. Overall though, this DLC is pretty short and doesn't really go anywhere storywise. But if have you have the legendary edition then its worth playing as part of your Mass Effect 1 playthrough.

My favorite mission in the original Mass Effect. The smaller scope means the production values are higher. It's dramatic, personal and memorable.
