I played this twice now: one time without the commentary node and the other with the commentary nodes on. It was a good idea, but i recommend playing it without commentary node first, so after when you play with comm enabled you'll know what it's all about. Although the story and graphics were as interesting than in Half-Life 2(graphics were a little better) the game was very short. It took me only 6 straight hours to finish it(6 hours with all the glitches i had at first and with the loading times...). So i can't give it a 10 as i did to Half-Life 2, but the mark I'll give it is decent for it :D
