I am not shocked. Gamespot only cares about framerate if it is a 360 game.

No way I would pay a cent for this port, it uses one single core and none of the other processers, it's not a ps3 game at all. just a really bad port.

Who cares what it uses? It's still a very good game that's held back by a few frame rate drops.

Well, i ordered it. It's maybe a bad port but half life 2 is one of the greatest games. A couple of framerate drops and longer loading-times won't stop me from enjoying it.

Edit:

Btw, I also own it on pc.

If you are a shooter fan, you owe it to youself to play Orange Box. HL2 is one of the best FPS ever, Portal is amazing, and TF2 is a great experience until the monotony and repetion set in.

After hearing all about how this port was supposed to be so bad I was expecting 7.5 or 8's. I'm shocked actually. Maybe it wasn't a bad of port as I thought. And here all the cows are saying EA is crap.

both assasins creed and cod4 are both about to hit a million sold copies on ps3, ps3 games sell great in Europe, America is not the only place in the world you can buy video games.

yeah, all my friends with gaming PC's tell me to pick this up for ps3, I think I will, after hearing them talking about how awesome it is makes it very tempting. Oh and I love the Civil Protection Machinama series.

Reviewers at other sites clearly feel it's more than just small loading issues. I mean we're talking large scoring differences everywhere else.

If it's as bad as Half Life for the PC then it happens every 15 minutes.
