Defense Grid: The Awakening - You Monster DLC Review (FutureNorm)
This DLC adds excellent levels and GLaDOS (and all the heckling that goes along with that)!
The combination of the Portal (game by Valve) graphics and GLaDOS voice/character into the Defense Grid world was excellent. While the DLC on the whole is really very good and recommended, the DLC needed some level-balancing...the very first level took me about 5 tries to find a path/solution that would even remotely work and, for me, was by far the toughest map of the entire DLC. A couple other maps in this DLC gave me challenges too, but that's part of the fun; only that first map, I thought was too tough, especially for a first map of a DLC.
This DLC is also unique in that it would come up with 'twists' during the level...it would remove a couple towers, or not allow you to build a certain type of tower, or only allow you to place command towers while it placed all other turrets, etc. This DLC made for unique set of challenges and a lot of fun.
Despite the 8 maps, however, this is a short DLC taking only roughly 2.5hrs to complete the campaign and that's including my struggling on 2 of the levels.
Not quite as good as the Resurgence DLC set (my favorite), but certainly a very nice DLC indeed. 8.5 out of 10
