Publisher: Bioware
Genre: RPG
Summary: Commander Shepherd visits a station with combat training scenarios.
Gameplay: There are four different mission types at Pinnacle Station: Kill (kill as many enemies as possible in the allotted time), Capture (hold designated positions as fast as possible), Survive (stay alive as long as possible), and Hunt (kill enemies as quickly as possible) in several different environments.
Style: The simulated environments are nice, though it is easy to see they are grabbed from parts of the game. The edges revealing the holographic nature of the environment are a nice touch, as is the fading away of the holographic enemies. The overseeing admiral's comments are at first amusing, but get repetitive quickly.
Story: There is a bit of a story about Shepherd beating the scores of a posturing turian, but that's about it.
Conclusion: It's odd coming to this DLC after years of playing Mass Effect games, as I can see here the genesis of the more elaborate combat simulator in Mass Effect 3: Citadel. Mass Effect itself offers more interesting combat with more interesting stories out in the galaxy, but Pinnacle Station isn't bad for what it is.
