Summary:

Bring Down the Sky is the first downloadable content for BioWare’s epic game Mass Effect.  It’s basically a side quest mission that involves the Batarians, and winds up being much shorter than I expected.

Single Player:  ★★★☆☆

It should be noted that if you do not yet have access to the Galaxy Map, then you won’t be able to get to this mission.  The Batarians have taken over a mining operation on an asteroid and are planning to crash it in to a nearby populated planet.  It’s up to you to stop them and save the hostages.

Multiplayer: (N/A)

No Multiplayer.

Graphics:  ★★★★☆

Just as pretty as the original game.  There were a couple of things that I have not seen in the original game that made me say “that’s pretty cool”.

Control:  ★★★★☆

Again, just as responsive as the original game.

Sound/Soundtrack:  ★★★★☆

I did not notice anything new here either.  It fits the mood nicely.

Overall:  ★★★☆☆

I would have liked this to have been a little meatier.  I was expecting a more substantial mission like one of the main side quests, say like Feros.  Bring Down The Sky no longer than any of the regular planet side-quest missions in the original game.  It’s about an hour or two long and ultimately you will have to decide if 400 points is worth it.  I don’t think that it is.

Achievements:

50 Gamerscore points.
