Just didn't feel like it had that "WOW Factor" that HL games do. It was like replaying HL2 again aswel.

I know this is 1 part of 3 in Valves need idea to do Episodic content, however i'd much prefer to wait 6 years for one massive innovative long game, than have cheap expansions once every 1 - 2 years. Now the game was just HL2 made on the esact same looking levels you've played with minor gameplay changes. I like how you see more of dog and Alyx and your friends but that really doesn't make it good enough. What makes it worse is half the levels are annoying and just not fun. Take for example when you had to transer your alliance across a street with **** shooting at you then through this train bit with gaurds constantly coming down. The AI just got annoying and it was ok the firts time but on your 3rd and 4th it was just boring. I also thought the dark carp park levels wern't fun at all.

The only bits i could say which were good was when Dog chucked you over a giant cliff in a car at the start and at the end with the train.

Overall its the same game with the same gameplay just with the levels changed abit and much shorter + no vehicles and now u see more of Alyx. The sounds are all the same and so are the graphics but now with HDR lol.

I was disappointed, it just didn't have that quality of a HL game that makes them special and i hope they bin this episode content after the 3rd and go make HL3 or 4.

+ It took me like 4 hours to complete lol.
