While this is a nice game and helps add additional details to the Half Life game as seen from the eyes of a soldier, I did not like this game and I don't recommend wasting your time with it.

1) it feels as though it's dragging the original feel and intent of Half Life too far, it feels tired and recycled, despite having new weapons and monsters to fight.
2) Many of the maps feel as though they were only in Work-in-Progress stage, they are empty and featureless. Whereas the original Half Life had very well constructed maps.

Perhaps I'm biased because I played this game the year it came out in 1999 or 2000...but playing it again 13 years later I realize why I came back to it. This is truly a survival horror, and even though I've been spoiled with modern graphics, you'll quickly forget how obsolete the poor graphics are in this game as you play. For the time that it came from, the graphics were obsolete even for the year that it came out (compare to Halo or Return to Castle Wolfenstein, for example, which came out the next year), but it makes up for it by outstanding gameplay structure and environment.

It's quite creepy, and you must rely on your volume because things will sneak up on you if you don't hear them in advance, and a wrong move could mean death. You must learn to ration your inventory, and the gameplay is far more complicated than any modern game. I remember playing Bioshock and remembering how similar it was to this game, and indeed it is, and people are who are fans of the Bioshock series will feel right at home in this game.

Recommending this. I use this alot. I don't care about writing a review, I just want to earn the achievement for writing a review.
