So I finally got around to playing this and get my 100% completion on ME3.

I would say I liked Leviathan more than Omega but not by too much. I do think it was a little over priced for a DLC.

Missions were very good for combat, new enemies were interesting. Aria got some good lines in and playing a renegade Shepard she even kissed my boy on his play through lol.

Visuals were awesome overall with some very interesting spots on Omega visited such as the mining facility.

From what I understand this one has a lot of replay ability because your dialog choices have a major impact on how the end game for it works out. Sadly I don't think it has any impact at all on the ending of the game. There was a rumour that Omega itself was a weapon against the Reapers but this was proven to be false.

I give it a 6/10 (edited to 6 based on my second thoughts below) overall with the visuals and Aria bringing the most points for me. Could have been a bit cheaper/longer or had a real effect on the ending for more points IMHO.

For spoilers ask me here and be wary as you scroll down.

To stand upon the bedrock of law is our great duty. To presume to stand above it is our worst heresy.

Some more thoughts on this as I have had more time to think about it.

The DLC does not really have any major story to it. If you love Mass Effect for the story telling and are not so much into the combat side than you could skip this one. We already know that Aria is going to take back Omega so there is no real twist ending they could do. The only chance they had was to connect Omega to the Crucible project and they didn't do that. At the end you get a little different war asset depending on the way you complete it.

Combat itself was typical ME3, that is to say interesting but linear and fairly predictable. If you are going for achievements than be sure to talk to the 3 mission givers in the HQ (second one will show up the second time you visit). You get Aria and Nyrene (sp?) as squadmates throughout the levels and they have some interesting powers. They also brough some of the newer MP weapon mods into the game too. Coolest part was the lead up to meeting the Adjutants.

So still I say this one was weak in a few key areas and is probably not worth the money unless you are just a big fan overall like me or if you really liked Aria.
