I don't understand the hype!
User Rating: 7 | The Orange Box X360
This is just my personal feeling about The Orange Box for xbox 360! I loved Half Life but never got into HL2 and it's episodes. Is it just me or is the only enemy strategy to run into you in great numbers. I keep finding myself hopelessly outnumbered and without any useful ammonition in other words rediculously difficult. Maybe I am just not good at it, but I find it hard to believe somebody played this through without cheats. I don't know I had a lot of emotions playing HL2 but real enjoyment wasn't one of them. I think it's more of a chore than a game. I can't find any firefight or setpieces that are really fun to play and I hate the vehicle sequences. The graphics are fine, without much chopiness, however in my playthrough on my xbox360 I had plenty of grapical glitches. For HL2 and it's episodes I give it 6 out of 10. Since I don't care about online multiplayer I will omit any comment about Team Fortress 2 and write some words about Portal instead. Portal is great and makes this whole package worthwile, even though it's short it will give you an experience that I believe is among the best you'll ever have with a game. I'd say rent it play Portal and that's all there is to it.
