Such a good value I can't help but give it a 9.

User Rating: 9 | The Orange Box PS3
The Orange Box is a collection of five separate games, all of which are quite good, though a little outdated now.

Gameplay- Three of the games are half-life, episode one, and episode. I have to first honestly say that I haven't completed all of them but from what i've played so far of them. They are quite compelling. They are shooters that have a deep story and sifi element to them. The action is pretty intense, and there's a lot to think about. The weapons are cool too, especially the gravity gun, which allows you to throw any object using gravity. It is quite cool. Portal is another game in the box. This is my favorite. It comes with nineteen puzzle levels. They are played with a gun that allows you to shoot two holes in walls: one of them is an entrance hole and the other is an exit hole for the portal. you can shoot these holes in ceilings even. This is cool because then you can fall from the ceiling and do a lot of other fun things. It is relatively easy to figure out and not too long, but they are all alot of fun. Team Fortress 2 is the final game. It is only multiplayer but it has a unique feel to it and is worth a play. There are eight different classes I believe and they are all really different. The action is fun and creative, and the graphics give it a unique play as well.

Graphics- The half life games have pretty good graphics but by now they are a little outdated though not terrible. There are a few framerate issues in these. Portal looks basically the same as these other games. Team Fortress 2 however looks gorgeous with a Pixar like graphic style. They are some of my favorite graphics i've ever seen. There are quite a few framerate issues however.

Sound-The sound is your typical array of decent voice work and scores with the exception of team fortress 2. The music is different depending on which team you're on and it has a distinct 50s feel. The same is to be said with the voice work in this.

Value-With five games in one, you are simply not going to get a better value than this.

I would recommend getting this because of it's value. It will keep you entertained for quite a while, though not too many people are on team fortress 2 anymore.
