Stop complaining people! 9.0 is a good score! There were also framerate problems on the 360 so we all knew the PS3 version is bound to have similar issues as well.

That review is short and lacks details, but so what? Has a review stopped you from buying Ratchet & Clank? No. Uncharted? No.

Sheesh.

Yeah we should be complaining about EA becuase they are nothing but a bunch of poops... Trying to make a ps3 game and doesn't even come close to it. Anyone thinks that they are just making the ps3 games worse so they can stimulate sales in xbox 360? Peter moore has strucken again!!! lol jk but seriously anything EA touches that has ps3 on it turns worst than its suppose to be...

Orange box is awesome. Must play I haven't noticed any framerate issues. It still looks good for a dated game. I love the story and physics in HL2. Now only if more ppl were playing TF2 (everyone's playing ut). You guys shouldn't pass on this game if you haven't played HL2. I can't figure out the mic on either game

Yeah but it was delayed, and we end up getting a worst port? Shouldn't the delayed time be used to fix that? Yet its still was delayed and it still scores less? I don't know about you but that just seems bad to me...

Its about deserving the score..Halo 3 got a 9.5 but is that game even a 8.5?. In my opinion NO! I would say that Bioshock deserves better than it got, same with Mass Effect, R&C and Uncharted.

Does The Orange Box deserves that score on the PS3? Absolutely no because everyone knows that it is extremely inferior compared to the x360 version. IGN is more credible about this review.

But it's still a great game on PS3. Sure, EA didn't do as good of a job as Valve, but did you really expect them to? This is much better than I expected it to get after seeing some early impressions. Even though it's inferior in some very small ways, it's still a hell of a port job by a rather average developer.

Btw, I think Halo 3, Mass Effect, R&C, and Uncharted are all 9.0's. Nothing lower, nothing higher.

Yep still admit anything above a 7.0 can be considered a great game and a 9.0 is a superb score I just don't get why if the version got delayed it still worst than the rest.

Because the PS3 is far more complex to develop for. Remember, EA started the port much later than Valve. It was because Valve was supposed to port it, then Gabe Newell wouldn't let his team work on PS3 for some reason or another.

Gabe hates the ps3 and he's made it pretty clear. I'm sure if it were up to him, orange box wouldn't be a ps3 game.

Has anyone here ACTUALLY played TF2 yet? It is the only reason I might get Orange Box. I dont buy into this framerate talk from the gaming sites...especially since that has been a common complaint since the beginning for PS3 and I have yet to see any framerate problems.

I just wanted to get a first hand user's opinion on the gameplay and how many people are online?

TF2 is cool. Was a little empty online for awhile but it picked up. I need to work on my rocket jump. It lagged once on me but other than that it's been smooth. No framerate issues in TF2 but mic won't work so it's hard to talk to your team which hurts

because it's simply not a ps3 game, doesnt use the cell at all only the single core, why would I bother buying a game when they didnt even try make a ps3 game out of it, just a **** port, I got this on 360 and swapped it for assassins creed on ps31 day later, half life 2 looks and feels so old now.

Yep still admit anything above a 7.0 can be considered a great game and a 9.0 is a superb score I just don't get why if the version got delayed it still worst than the rest.

The sad thing is....that "old" HL2 still has better in-game animations and storytelling than Assassin's Creed. Also, Portal is far more original and amusing. This is coming from an Assassin's Creed fan, btw.

I thought the score was fine, however, I find the comment of "Frame rate and loading issues aside, the content in The Orange Box for the PS3 is as good as the content in the superb Xbox 360 version" a little off color from a supposed professional review site. Why must they always praise the other system in a PS3 review. Personally, I don't give a flying **** about the other system since mine died!!

I've posted this a few times already. People, its not that bad. I bought it. Portal was perfect and I had no frame issues online with TF2. I didn't play any of the HL last night as UTIII was calling my name, but I can confirm the TF2 plays fine online, and Portal, is well, Portal (gotta play it to get the joke, sorry)

Ah hah!

If any of you haven't seen my previous thread about my call with Gamestop, take a look at this. I didn't see the clerk I spoke to when I picked up UT3 but I asked the other emp making the transaction, was there any other games released this week. He flat out said "No." I asked him if he was sure, but he said no. I knew there was another game in my radar but at the time, I couldn't remember what game it was. It was Orange box. Those damn Gamestop workers, they suck in every way. The only reason I buy games from them is because they usually have the releases first.

The score of 9.0 is always a good score though. As tryfe said, that's not bad for a port. Both EA and nowthis site is a bit suspect.

You can't stop people complaining about the crappy port of The Orange Box.
