Well for starters this game rated at Best is a complete understatement :(

I really enjoyed how you got to interact with Alyx more this time. Yes i know that Freeman does not speak much but he doesnt need to..hes that good!

anyways, Graphics- even though Hl 2 and Ep1 are not "next Gen", such as Crysis or FEAR, they still are pretty nice especially when backed up by a stellar plot.

The action in the game was Superb! i enjoyed how i got out of one tight area of madness and wound up in an even greater area of danger!

anyways going to play this 8 times over - hl 1 again plus its expansions until ep 2 comes out !

-Game On-
