The Sierra Madre's surrounding city provides an excellent challenge for high-level characters who relish in scavenging for scraps and barely getting by. The barren and poisonous environment feels wonderful to conquer, unfortunately once you enter the Sierra Madre proper it takes a serious dip in gameplay flow and the conclusion is a bit of a mess.

I breezed the final encounter the first time through by sneaking out the door but on trying to reproduce it the game threw up impenetrable walls for no reason and forced me into a different approach.

In all, the opening hours of this expansion are magnificent but it kinda peters out towards the end, and leaves the player with very little lasting assets or bonuses.
