Ultor Exposed DLC Review
By Vanek 4 Comments
Now, the DLC contains a total of three missions, six new vehicles, new multiplayer maps and some clothing and hair styles. It doesn't sound a lot and it really isn't. The missions are nothing fantastic and basically ends up as one big Ultor clusterfuck. Seriously, that's all it really is, the "story" is pretty bare due to the fact it's only three missions and it just doesn't work. Each mission gives you a destination and then clutters the game with Ultor cruisers which causes some irritating framerate issues and hilarious glitches. In the end it can all become a little too much and would have definitely benifitted from being spread out over more missions.
After you've completed the three missions, which takes roughly an hour, you're really left with very little. I'll admit I did have a bit of fun messing around with some of the vehicles, although the fact they're all insanely fast only pointed out the games horrible framerate issues even more, but there is some fun to be had with them. I've yet to try the multiplayer maps so I can't really comment on that, and as for the clothing and hair styles I'm yet to notice any new clothes in any store I've been in. I did try the the hair styles but really they will probably only interest you if you have a character that requires the look of someones balding dad or grandfather, which you might have I suppose.
Lastly there's the character and homie Tera who dispite being an ex-employee of a company like Ultor dresses like a hooker. I know, it's a huge surprise, but even still I expected her to have a style and class about her. I expected a clean, even sophisticated but still sexy look about her, but instead I got a tattooed hooker that plays like every other expendable Saint I take with me.
Sadly that's really all there is to say about the DLC. I didn't mention the story because it's not worth mentioned to be honest, but I'm being totally serious when I say nothing in this DLC is worth the 800 Microsoft Points you'll spend buying it. At best you could maybe justify it if you were insanely bored, rich and desperately in need of more achievement points, but if not you probably shouldn't bother. Saints Row 2: Ultor Exposed is as lackluster as most DLC packages and feels about as uninspired and dull as Bethesdas Fallout 3 DLC Operation Anchorage.
