Light and fun FPS game

The Good
The gameplay here is very fun. You don't really need to use a lot of brains, there is almost no dialogues... this is my type of game! For me, a game should make me feel relaxed, not using my brains too much.

Each level is different. Some look as if you were in some communist country. The last level is so different, like science fiction... not something that would happen in a communist country. Some of the places are very spooky. Zombies and headcrabs always appear... and try to go into my brain!

And in each level you do different things. Sometimes you have to build a bridge to pass through, sometimes you shoot a lot, sometimes you should change your weapons all the time. There is a great weapon, gravity gun. Gravity gun is always good. If you want to go to some place or to get things, you only need to use your gravity guns, you can move everything and build bridges. It's interesting to see the next level when you're playing the current level, because you know each level is different and you will not be disappointed.

The graphics are great, but the best thing is that you can take and throw everything you see, it's like in real world.

It's very cool to drive cars, especially when you can zoom and shoot at the same time... I'm always very careful in those things.

It was very fun to call those antlions. Actually, in the beginning I wasn't used to it. When I turned around and suddenly saw such a face!! I wanted to kill them. But then they sacrificed themselves for me...

In some levels you fight alone, and in others you have your soldiers, who help you to fight. And you can send them to kill enemies for you.

And I like the Dog! He is so cute. Especially when he hugged Alyx. I want to have such a dog at home to serve me!

The Bad
Story? I don't think there is a big story here. The important thing is the gameplay. It's just for fun.

Oh, and another thing I don't like: those soldiers (those who fight for you) and really so weak! I hate them! And they shout "follow Freeman", if they are so bad why should they follow Freeman? They should go and train instead.

It's a little bit annoying to fight the striders, it's not that fun when humans fight big machines. The machine is too smart and is always chasing you, you can't avoid it. It would be cool to have such a machine on your side, but not on their side...

The Bottom Line
It's a cool and fun game. Follow me, my faithful antlions! I know you won't betray me!
