First we have GameDaily at 9/10:
For fans of Fallout 3's trippy 'Leave it to Beaver'-esque Tranquility Lane quest, this expansion also contains a quest that sends you on a hallucination trip where the main character finds his/her mom, stacks of bobbleheads and the corpses of several key characters. Add that to other cool quests that, for instance, stick you in the middle of a feud between a brain and a former secret agent, hunting down ingredients to make whiskey (using fission batteries?) and infiltrating a religious cult that's even weirder than the original game's Children of the Atom -- and the $10 (800 Microsoft Points) Point Lookout is a must buy for any Fallout 3 player.
And then we have Cheat Code Central with a 4.3/5:
Much of the feedback from past DLC expansions seems to be soaking in, and Bethesda appears to be adjusting the plans for future installments accordingly. Keeping up with ever-changing player expectations is no easy feat, but the sheer creativity and strangeness that manifests in Point Lookout is hopefully a harbinger of more good things to come. Indeed, a few WTF moments are really just icing on the cake in this well done addition to the Fallout 3 repertoire.
