Another Fallout 3 DLC that falls kind of flat. The idea of aliens in Fallout is interesting, but the environment on the ship is so boring. Everything looking the same, no differentiating enemy types it’s just a slog.
I love the concept and the characters, but it's a slog to go through. What you see in the first five minutes is the same you will see for the next two to three hours.
too much brainless shooting
This DLC is just you killing aliens for one or two hours while walking through different hallways that look the same, it gets old very fast. The samurai guy was cool tho
This DLC is super overhated. Sure, it's not that good, but I think that it was pretty fun, and you get pretty powerful guns. You meet pretty interesting characters and there are some references to the older DLCs. As I said, could be better, but I recommend it. It's not as bad as some people over here say it is, lol.
I hope that Bethesda make a better version of this DLC in the future, because aliens in Fallout sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Cool idea with some funny characters but the level design is trash like the rest of the dlc's
This entire DLC is two hours of you killing aliens while walking through a bunch of different hallways that all look the same LOL
That is pretty much all I have to say about it, there's like two different enemies which are aliens and the abominations near the end and that's it pretty much besides some poorly written interactions between other people that are captive.
Alien spaceship aesthetic is cool and novel at first but it gets nauseating fast as you see the same hallways that all look the same over and over again with nothing but the sounds of blaster shots and buzzing noises because this DLC also has no music.

Brave idea! Funny expansion
I remember the enemies being very bullet spongey and the plot being very meh (and possibly lore-breaking, if you take it as canon or care that much about that). Not very fun if you're interested in roleplay, and extremely samey (even when compared to the main game) if you're interested in combat.
another proof why rights to fallout should've gone to anyone else.
aliens are cool. was fun and i thought the story was pretty cool
Not my favorite DLC for one of the best games of all time, primarily due to its design and navigation. Also, with how easy it is to get stuck in rooms with doors glitching and never re-opening. I lost a massive save years ago due to this.
Have you ever wanted to play a corridor shooter instead of an RPG? Or maybe play a game with no story at all and just random set dressing? If so this DLC is for you!
So they made a alien abduction DLC. A lot of people feel it doesn't really fit into the FO universe, and they're probably right. However, I found killing aliens fun and Zeta is fairly long for a DLC. There's also some great loot to be found.
It’s a cool environment, but an absolute slog to go through. Pretty much only do it for loot you get at the end.
Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
Unpopular but I prefer this to Point Lookout. Just good-ole-fashioned, unpretentious alien-blasting fun. Yes it's low-framey, yes there isn't a single theme to be found in it, yes it's still only like two dull colors, and yes that spaceship 'battle' at the end is pretty shit. But these big-headed, green Propaganda-era-B-movie aliens are a perfect fit for the retrofuturist Fallout universe - not sure why the series purists have gotten in such a tizzy over this, extraterrestrials really aren't such a far fetch considering all the other preposterous leaps taken in this franchise. So satisfying nailing crits with the sci-fi weaponry and watching these things crackle into a pile of ash. Sally is better than most of the characters in the base game. Kind of awesome.

This one just feels so unecessary. Aliens in Fallout has always been a thing, but it's only been in the form of hidden encounters. This DLC kinda ruins that by showing you too much. It doesn't feel like Fallout at all. The spaceship is just extremely boring to explore, and the aliens feel way too tanky. It's a bit better than Anchorage, just because it actually has characters and a story. I like the samurai though. He is cool.
i was gonna jokingly rate this 5 stars because it marked me finally being done with the single worst video game i've ever played but couldnt bring myself to it. not good.
Aliens in fallout! It was pretty whacky and a lot of fun but again more action than rpg and with fallout 3 the action could be better.
Look, a lot of people say this is garbage; and yes, it does have its fair share of issues and problems. However, this is a super fun idea, and a quest I absolutely loved.
Única coisa boa dessa dlc são as armas e os aliens que são engraçados, de resto é bem meia mediano, a questline principal é chata, entendiante, a nave espacial é confusa e faz você querer sair logo de lá, e os poucos npcs nem são muito memoráveis
Bethesda must have been feeling really silly at the time, and I have absolutely no idea what was going on in their heads.
I love killing everything not made in god's image
seriously what the fuck is going on here
Those Canadians deserved getting lasered
Pretty poor DLC; extremely repetitive. They somehow found a way to make aliens boring, not does it feel like Fallout. That being said, extra star for the Japanese Samurai alone. Great characters, poor, poor execution.
The weakest of the Fallout 3 DLC selection. Despite Fallout 3 being Bethesda's weird, trailblazing journey into the 3D universe, Mothership Zeta struggles to find its place in the Fallout world; it has very little to do with Fallout in the first place, and has no lasting impact after the fact. Thankfully, it is a relatively quick experience, but you find yourself trapped in repetitive, corridor laden environment until you complete the DLC storyline. If you're playing the game outside of the Game Of The Year edition, you can afford to skip this.
Repetitive, but cool as fuck. Has great characters too
