Half Life 2: Orange Box

[wedgie]

Do you think it would be worth purchasing if I completed HL2 and episode 1 on the PC? Its a pain as I have sold the PC and now wanna see episode 2 and just wondering is it worth getting

I think so, Portal is excellent.

Well I guess it gives me another game to play through, this is an expensive month and I feel its just getting worse the closer to xmas we get lol

You want to see Episode 2? You must see episode 2! It's the best of them all. Worth the price alone (nearly).

End credits song

(Watch it while eating cake )

Portal is only about 1 hour 40 long but the ending is worth it

Do you not get the advanced maps and other extras on the 360 version? I've spent almost 6hrs on it with the extras, and still not done them all.

Yeah the advanced maps and all the other different modes are there on the 360.

Ah sweet, some of those are very very challenging...

I'll have to check them out, I've only done the standard levels so far.

Got my copy today part ex`ed halo 3 for it.
Started from HL2 then ill work up through the rest been playing portal and stuck already! really good game concept though

 

[da_mic_1530]

still can't wait to get this, but I'm determined not to buy a game for full price for ages, after not liking halo 3. Driving me mad waiting for this to appear on the MM

I used to run HL2 on a ati radeon 9000, Athlon 2ghz and 512 ram, will I see a large difference or will this leave me underwhemed when I play it on the 360?

Ive just revieved my copy today and ive just started HL2 from the beginning as ive not played it for a good couple of years and i seriously forgot how good it was, and the graphics are amazing too! Everyone should buy this!

Just finished Portal. It is the best game in the Orange Box imo. Absolutely amazing.

I love the comedy element of portal, like the "there is no cake" scrawled on the wall randomly, the funny computer voiced woman (not disimilar to a female version of Hal out of space odyssey) and then theres the song at the end... just brilliant

 

[spoonz]

dpad?

sorry, 360 pad. ie not keyboard and mouse!

 

[ikillbears]

agreed portal is an excellent game and the extras on the levels are great. Least portal one is pretty easy. I have yet to have a go at the speed and step runs. Also i love the difference the advanced maps ads to it. Be nice to see if they continue to make more portal based goodies for us to play as i really really love it

I'm just finishing off Episode 2 now, don't think I've been involved in a game so much since Oblivion!!!

Just finished EP2 - OMFG!!!! What an ending, almost as good as the first one! Anyone know when EP3 is out?
