Good review (although you need to change complement to compliment in the last para as they mean different things).
I found this DLC to be slightly better than the main game, even though I enjoyed the main game quite a lot. It was a great way to cap off the series and more developers should look to do this instead of simply producing cheap multiplayer DLC (which Bioshock 2 has already done).
The only issue I had on the PS3 was slightly jittery framerates and the fact that it's over a bit fast. Even though it took me a good six hours, I just wanted more. I'm greedy, I know.

naw, but I liked the philosophical babble of Bioshock 1.
I will get this after exams still, even though I did not like Bioshock 2 very much. I have faith this may change my mind.

I'd say that the 'babble' Minerva's Den is more akin to Bioshock 1, which was comparatively straight forward to what was presented in Bioshock 2. I think they tried a little too hard the second time around, and it became hard to follow.

This will be a little treat to myself when my assignments are handed in on Monday. I can't stop praising BioShock 2, it's a vastly superior game to the original. I wrote it off thinking a sequel would never work, but then the viral marketing started... and the final product turned out to be what I consider the most atmospheric and engaging FPS this generation.
Six more hours in Rapture? For $15? Mega bargain right there.
