Great weapons and vehicles to use, but...

Wow, the weapons were excellent. Had some from the original Half Life that looked prettier wise. But some of the new weapons like the gravity gun was sweet. Especially towards the end where you could pick up living creatures as well as other objects. Was fun picking up a soldier that was shooting at you and tossing him into his buddies.
Then a great weapon was that swishy ball which controlled the alien bugs. Toss it at enemy troops and they would dismember them.
The new rocket launcher(RPG) was nicely fixed up. After firing it, you could control the direction it went(like a remote controlled car) to fly it into the enemy.
What I didnt like about the weapons, were the low max ammo counts on some weapons.
Then there was the vehicles: hover boat and dune buggy jeep. Now on the hover boat it was fun moving around, but when you get the gun added on it became annoying a bit. Trying to steer while aiming it made you go in opposite directions and slam into walls and such. Nice add on to the buggy when you exited the vehicle and had the extra ammo in the back.
All in all, it was a fun game. Cut scenes were ok as well, with some funny moments. The ending however was pretty disappointing. They just made it that way to have a cliffhanger for their next game in the series. It still needed more to the ending.
