Customer Reviews

not that great
It may seem your getting value for money with this game but bear in mind half life 2 is pretty old, the other 2 episodes are short and portal is about 3 hours long. It seemed like a chore playing the games, it just was not any fun and I soon got rid of it.
When I first played half life 2 on pc I really enjoyed it but now it seems dated. You're tunnelled along a set route for the most part and it's enemy pops up bang, another one, bang. It's like a shooting gallery and so predictable. There are so many better games out there, more worthy of your cash.

The Orange Box
I bought this for my son and well he said that the graphics in the 5 games were amazing and they offered days of fun. This is his say below

Half Life 2- Brilliant game detail was fantastic starts of slow but is really fun took me about 2 weeks to complete it but i would play it again.Full of puzzles, Action, very close to a movie and a game fitted into one. Its about a character known as gordon freeman in a twisted world fighting against a Alien Government known as the combine.

Half Life 2, Episode 1- was less puzzling but was fun in the same aspects to Half Life 2 only major difference is that you now have someone helping you all the way through the game was my least favourite out of The Orange Box. It is Also the Shortest out of the series taking me 3 days to complete.

Half Life 2, Episode 2- Ok this was my favourite out of The Orange Box i liked this because it introduced a new setting it was rural rather than fighting in a city. It was most difficult out of the 3 and took me about 5 days in total to complete and introduced new enemies known as Hunters which were pretty ace. I liked the challenges in this aswell it was aloso the most humouriss.

Portal- The game portal was set in the same timeline as half life but took on a new character known as Shell (as seen in credits and internet sources) You are working for a company known as Apareture Science and are sleeping but wake up to find you are the only human left you are an experiment that is to overcome obsticals by using portals. Was extremely short 2 days and i finished this game but is slightly creepier and funny at the same time.

Team Fortress 2- Is a multiplayer for live and well i found it really hard to get into partly because i only played it two days using a 48 hour trial but it has fun elements but it really depends on who you are playing with or against i can't really review this game easily but basically its Red team vs Blue team and they have class based combat alot like Star Wars Battlefront 2

things i didn't like well it was too short and most of it was really easy Episode 2 only showed a real challenge but it was really good

It's Orange
The only reason I purchased this game was because I thought it was going to be Karl Pilkington's head in a box, sadly it wasn't. Which actually was a bonus as this game doesn't moan even half as much as Karl. Bonus.
