Well after making the $30.00 mistake of Buying the game used I Realized
The Whole Secruity Features and that The Key Code can only be used
once. After Purchasing a new copy from Compusa for only $20.00 and
waiting about 3 hours for the 5 Disk Installation, The Steam Update,
Registration , Decryption, And the HL2 Update... I was ready to play!
So far I am only past The First Vehicle Sequence and can honestly
say it's a Very Good game that deals with Physics , AI And The graphics
are amazing! And I Did not even get the GRAVITY Gun Yet! Nothing
really new here as far as the Gameplay...But the Whole Havoc Physics
does add alot to the gameplay.

I think it does as well. I also think the realistic audio and visuals
help. It was very easy to immerse in this game.

Just Got the Gravity Gun... Wow what a level With that Hunter Chopper
on the Water Hazard Level... Some people say it was too long but It was
not that difficult and changes the gameplay alot with the Boat. Unreal!
The Graphics were so Photorealistic that I really could not believe I
was not playing those Laser disc games from way back. Now I see why
this game got so much praise. Its simply incredible on so many levels.
What Sets this game apart from regular shooters is the Havoc Physics
and the incredible Interactive Puzzles.
I play about 2 hours a day as I actually got game sickness on the
water level. .. I guess thats just another Plus on how realistic this
game is. Gotta go and Play a bit more now.

You have quite a few surprises in store for you yet :) Heh! When I
got the game, I had to make myself stop playing after two hours. It was
easy to get carried away in this one. There are several places I just
had to stop and gawk, the views just so vivid. And the ambient sounds
with each area. Just so cool!

And now there's HL2 Deathmatch. Incredible gameplay and some excellent
maps and very good network code make the multiplayer aspect a lot of fun
too.

"The Buffalo Theory"


A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest
buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This
natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because
the general speed and health of the whole group keeps
improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of
alcohol, as we know, kill brain cells. But naturally,
it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the
weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more
efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter
after a few beers.

"Adventure" for the Atari 2600 was the best

Reply to Anonymous

My favorite part of the game is the coastal highway to the bridge, controlling the antlions and then the prison battle, which is intense.
This game got me from the very beginning, on the train!
io love the sound of the Combine and the way they go down. There is nothing that comes close to the Havoc Physics.
Mystery? Why not more grav gun?
The citadel is great, but the games shortcoming is the sudden end???
What were they thinking?

I am now addicted to HL2 deathmatch.
Try Demon, KMA, and The War Room!
