This DLC package is a great addition to Mass Effect 2 and shouldn't be missed.

User Rating: 9 | Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker PC
By FreakshowGamer | Review Date:
Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker is a DLC package containing a lengthy extra mission which is added to the Mass Effect 2 storyline. It contains a great storyline and very beautiful visuals. I highly suggest you play Mass Effect 1 before playing Lair of the Shadow Broker, or even Mass Effect 2, as you get to have a visit and experience some breath-taking events with an old friend. The combat sequences are a load of fun, despite some pacing tedium... But in the end, serves as an excellent, suger-coated piece of DLC.

The good:
-Excellent storyline featuring Liara T'soni from the first game.
-The graphics and settings are beautifully designed and add more depth to the location Illium.
-Boss battles are intense and fast paced.
-A skycar action sequence will surprise you.
-Top-notch voice acting adds much emotion and drives the story.
-Roughly two hours worth of play. A good length for a single mission and a DLC package.

The bad:
-A bit overpriced.
-Some combat/action sequenecs should have been longer, while others could have been shorter.
-Any other party member besides Liara doesn't participate in the storyline at all.
