Seen some good writeups - must have missed this when it came out. Reckon its worth getting at £21?

It's okay - a bit brainless IMHO. I'd wait until the 16th and buy HL2

Not worth £21 - very samey and linear all the way through.

I'd agree with both the above, unfortunately it really isn't all that...

Cheers for the advice - doesnt sound worth splashing out on so wont bother.

HL2 pre-ordered (and has been for some time). Hope my pc can at least play it in low res. Athlon 1.7 / Radeon 9600 Pro / 786mb RAM.

TBH it was meant to be a brainless blast away - but I found it very entertaining and atmospheric to boot

I liked it as well. So what if it's repetative - it's actually less so than Doom3. It's got great design and it's a hoot to play. Best level bosses I've seen for a while too.

Its the £21 that gets me - You can get an hour with a hooker in a massage parlour for £30.


Its not linear, its still a shoot em up, and her big boss even smiles when you leave.

Hello

Yes ... but you only get to shoot once or twice. Here you can continue and with different weapons as well ..
