I purchased the game yesterday after waiting such a godly amount of time waiting for this expansion pack to finally come out. I installed it and was amazed. The graphics/animations in the game were done very well, the sound was just as amazing..very pleasing to hear those headcrab zombies scream when you burn them. The game starts off exactly right after where the last one ended...but now with a twist...the G-man no longer has control of you...and seems pretty annoyed that he's no longer pulling the strings. So now back to more of the game...after the begining scene you are found near the Citadel, and the reactor in it is going critical. So as you can now tell were this is going....you have to do something to either stop the reactor from going critical or slow it down someway. Ive been about halfway thru the game so far and I am very impressed. I just saw video today of HL2 episode two on YouTube, pretty interesting stuff.
