The gameplay seemed average, navigation was difficult, combat could seem excessively challenging at times...and I did not finish. But the story/backstory--City 17, Ravenholm, good stuff, right?--seemed kinda cool, and the characters were cool. I mean, Gordon Freeman, Alyx, the G-man, come on. So, overall, it was decent, I guess.
....
And, if you think about it, this game bridges the divide between shooter fighting games and, (sharp object?) fighting games, since he starts with a crowbar, which he thwacks people with, and only later does he get the pistol.... The pistol looks so cool when he's holding it, but the sound that it makes when fired is quite unsatisfactory.
And the game itself kinda sucks too.
(Even though the wierdos and the zombies provided occasional entertainment.)
Even though the laws of physics are scrupulously referred to.
Except for.... the gravity gun!
Wow, what kind of awesome game is this, which pertaineth to a gravity gun, *weapon*!
Not only can you levitate objects with the gravity gun. You can actually use it as a weapon.
"Wow, is that the laser? It's bitchin'."
"Yes, in 1917 when Albert Einstein established the theoretical foundation for the laser in his paper 'Quantentheorie der Stahlung', his fondest hope was that the resulting device would be 'bitchin'."
"Well, mission accomplished."
