Pass on this pass
First off all - please disregard most of these reviews - as they were posted BEFORE this DLC was even released.
I'll start by saying this: If you're purchasing this expansion pass for the story, do yourself a favor and pass. There are 3 new story missions, all of which consist of re-hashing existing levels - as well as enemies. It literally took me a little over half an hour to finish the story. Zero cut scenes. There's basically nothing here.
If you're a PS user, you get 2 new strikes. Again, nothing groundbreaking. The strike on Mars is probably the better of the two, but it's painfully short.
Finally, the main reason many gamers are ponying up $20 is so they can play through the new raid. If you've played through the Vault of Glass, you know that it's easily the best aspect of Destiny. Team-based puzzles, gunfights, etc. I've yet to finish the new raid (Crota's End), but again, it's the crown jewel of this pass.
2/5 stars. I honestly want to give it 1/5, but because the new raid is quite entertaining, I'll bump it up to 2/5.
All in all, there just isn't enough here to warrant the price tag. Destiny is a good (but not great) game. There was a ton of potential to expand the Destiny universe, but sadly, Bungie has dropped the ball. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
