"That’s the storyline, but what direct gameplay changes / improvements does the expansion bring to the table? New levels and general content are always nice, but is there anything else the game adds to make the experience more interesting? Indeed there is, although not to a huge enough degree to separate RoE from its non-expansion cousin in any significant way. All of the old weapons make a comeback (with the exception of the chainsaw, which I was unable to locate), but there are also two new major toys: a double-barreled shotgun (GLEE), and a crude knock-off of Half-Life 2’s manipulator tool called the “Grabber” – except that this thing feels really clumsy to use at times and can only hold objects for a couple of seconds before running out of power and dropping it. Still, being able to lob enemy projectiles back at them is quite an amusing trick, and immensely satisfying when squaring off against those pesky Hell Knights or Imps. Going back to the subject of the super-shotgun for a moment though, the expansion is actually incredibly gratuitous in how ammunition (shells, specifically) is handed out to the player, and I actually never really had a moment beyond the initial parts of the game where I ran low on shells – or most other types of ammo, for that matter."
