Summary

Amazing

The Good

The graphics, the gameplay, the storyline, the characters, the mouth syncing, all were top-notch for their time and still provide for excellent gaming here in '06.

The expansion packs and updated graphics from later versions only made this one that much more fun to play. Every tidbit of info made the story more interesting and engaging.

Love/Hate: The puzzles. Frustrating but thought-inducing!

The Bad

Headcrabs were impossible to kill with the crowbar, they almost always get you once before your swing actually hits them. Unrealistic.

The scientists' voices are like 2 different guys' voices for 40 different scientists. Very annoying.

Love/Hate: The puzzles. Frustrating and annoying to death!

The Bottom Line

If you are one of the 1% of the teenage population that has not played this game then pick it up now. Only $X for exciting, fast-paced action that will blow you away.
