i've just finished the game, was really funny on some parts, on others i feel afraid ... let me comment it a little: 3d models: 9.5/10 wonderful work, the models are pretty accurate and really well designed i was really impressed by doggie textures: 9/10 do their job, some of them are small but no game is perfect and in general better than for example the textures on D3 sound:9/10 really good, when the music goes on you know what is going to happen. ambience is the best and with good audio hardware... plot:10/10 you know this is the big part, a secuel of HL have it hard. everytime you sight g-man and how the game ends... the best storyline a game had. overall: 9.5/10 i could rest points because of bugs and problems while playing, it appears that it needed 1 week more solving them. i could also add some points plus because valve have corrected most of them and the update is available through steam. the activation part is not one of my favorites but hey is HL2! LoL! finally i have to recommend it, for me the best game ever (after the first HL ) "So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes" warnning spoiler!!: what happened to alyx at the end of the game?? she dies?? is she put on slow-time-warp??
