Individual review for the original game is available on my profile. This is a review of this specific DLC.
The pros first. Zaeed himself rocks - what a fun character! Beyond Robin Sachs' great voice work, he himself is a ton of fun to have around, from the crazy merc stories he likes to tell to his no nonsense attitude that actually plays true to ME2's ideas of rogues, anti-heroes, and criminals saving the day. The guy is a bastard! And that's what makes him kind of great.
His actual mission is a bit weak though. It's got a really great hook and I like the moral compromises you might be forced to make in order to actually keep him in the group but it's a short mission (much shorter then most loyalty missions) and I wish he more interactions with the actual cast. Despite that, he's a beast in gameplay so getting him is worth it for that alone. Zaeed forever.
