The question is: Why did it have to be DLC? If it's clearly that much better, why not delay the game just a bit more and include it in the original game?
Because it'd have been a clearly separate story within a larger game and would have
easily brought the score down even further. More is not better even if the "more" part consists of material that is better,
by itself, than the rest. It'd only make the "rest" look worse and the game would be called out for "tedious length" and having an even more ludicrous storyline - the moon part felt forced already in TDWCM and the original game was already called out for the sudden jump to the desert/dam section after Duke Burger.

I find it kind of weird how most of the big game review sites didn't even bother reviewing the DNF expansion, yet an expansion that lasts an hour like a Gears of War 3 add-on get devotion. I always felt that TDWCM gave Duke back some pride and seriousness, but I guess people had their minds made up already. The few who did review it gave mostly positive feedback.
Too late to repair the damage maybe?
Btw, the leading Finnish gaming magazine "Pelit" liked the DLC too and gave it a 80/100 rating.
