The final battle is better than any boss fight in the original. This expansion seems to be lacking any original concepts, besides at the end. What better deal can you get on 1 disk.I started with Half life 2. The Orange Box was one of the games I bought to educate myself in the fine art of shooters. I've never been very good at puzzle games, or had much interest in them.
There is a deep, well thought out storyline. I laughed my ass off at all the crazy stuff the computer says to you. Half life 2, Half life 2: Episode 1, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. A engineer, building turrets and portals. So long I got lost. Though, it feel like Portal would be born from an instance like that. I'm borderline retarded, and it took me days to beat the advanced levels.
There is even a bit of drama and suspense. If you want to really play TF2 get it for the computer. It was love at first sight. I assume that the guys over at valve made the physics engine and ran some tests. They found a mass array of crazy instances to show to their management for beta testing. The weapons, the vehicles, the dialogue, it's all good.
Great game, a must play.Episode 1 is mostly just a small addition to the game. Once you start driving around it seems like the game is endless. It barely has any story line besides, you beat the game now get the hell out of the place. I don't know if that is true or not, I'm to lazy to research. This take a bit of skill, and to get the achievement to save all the civilians is painstaking.
Portal is totally worth playing.Team Fortress 2 is only for people that have X-box live. The game starts out fast paced and action packed, and continues throughout the rest of the game. The game seems like a typical FPS until the vehicle travel came into play. You fight a lot of new bugs. It will keep you busy for a long time.*****Game Play: 10/10Graphics: 10/10Music/Sound Effects: 7/10Storyline: 8/10Re-playability: 10/10Overall: 9/10***** As I stated in earlier posts, I'm in an early phase of teaching myself FPS games. I think this expansion could have been orchestrated with a 10 minute cut scene before episode 2.Episode 2 however is like a whole new game. The physics make the game eerily real, and able to have degrees of puzzle solving where mindless shooting would have been.
Overall the game is amazing. You can play a soldier, with a large bazooka. The is a Left 4 Dead like survival scene against never ending attacks of bugs, where you will have to be a pro at turret management. The last boss is about ten times easier than the first boss. This expansion is so worth playing. At the end there is a mission to protect civilians to get on a train to escape. It's really strange walking around in a camera view where you want to pull a trigger and kill some digital people, and you don't. All these different classes makes it easy to not get bored.
I read a synopsis of the first game, so i could understand what was going on with the storyline. There are different classes with a lot of special abilities. The enging of the game is really funny, I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone, it's a must to finish the whole game. The Orange box comes with 5 full games. It's like working somewhere and the walls start to insult you. I almost suggest reading a synopsis of Episode 1 and skipping it. The storyline progresses and zombies, robots, snipers, epic boss fights show up. It's nice to lounge om my couch and play TF2 over sitting at a computer desk.
I watched a friend play this a couple times and tried it out. The physics added really make the game. A Scout, running around fast and double jumping. The game is set in kind of a cartoony cloak and dagger cold war spy movie. Though Portal is a FPS view puzzle game.
There are new robot battles, and long vehicle drives. They also liked portal because of the physics used. But, if you don't have a good enough computer, or just prefer console gaming play it on X-bow. I have to admit the controls to vehicles in Half Life 2 are tricky to get a hang of. The final boss is in such an odd area that it took me about 5 tries to figure out how to kill him.
After you beat the game you can try the advanced levels, and then try challenges to the advanced levels. The maps are huge, and it takes hours to get through different sections. One thing that Halo got right is vehicle travel controls. I got this along with Bioshock from someone on my AF base used.All my friends have played Half Life 2 and portal. There are a multitude of blocks in the road you have to dismount and figure out how to move. It's a multi-player online FPS that is run off the Half Life 2 Engine, kind of like Left 4 Dead.
I had seen all these games before, but didn't pay any attention because they were FPS games. The set is easily found on E-bay, Amazon, the bargain bin at most retailers. A Big, with a freak'in Gatling gun. A medic, healing others and getting assisted kills. This episode even introduces some new characters, new monsters, and new concepts. The graphics were astounding.
It's not like any other Online FPS. When I was home last August one of my friends showed me Team fortress 2. Portal has great re-playability. This online game is really fun, and the achievements with take you weeks to get.This box set is an amazing value. I understand the computer version of this has more maps, weapons, and players. The game is full of humor.
Most of my friends back in California are science and math nerds, so the physics behind the game made them giddy. New comers can easily play a medic and just help out until they figure out the game, or play an engineer and build turrets and hide. A spy, sneaking around invisible or cloaking the other team. Then someone decided to take all the crazy instances and work a puzzle game around it. You walk through portals you make in the walls with a portal making gun. You use the portals to make ball, cubes, yourself fall on things and change with the environment.
I should have played this before Halo 3. I prefer the controls on the x-box over the keyboard, because my fingers get cramped easier on the keyboard. There is a huge bug boss battle that is so challenging you'll have to be a pro with the gravity gun to get by. Then go straight to Episode 2 and have fun.Portal is one of those games that looks dumb, but them you start playing it and you can't stop. Or a ballistics guy, with a grenade gun. Go pick it up for around $20.
This is a must have for anyone that needs occasional help to get thru the tough spots. The guide is detailed on each scenario, threats, rewards and provides suggestions on how to get thru it. I started playing this game without it and was slowly struggling thru it. This guide made a major difference on moving thru the scenarios.
This item is a decent guide ot an excellent game :-) This is a start, the best part is to play the game through and find things which possibly no guide can comprehend.
Had I not purchased this along with my copy of The Orange Box, I would be in the same dilemma as every single one of my friends is: confounded by the maze-like levels, and frustrated at my inability to solve what eventually turns out to be a simple puzzle. This book helped to pull me out of mental ruts where I simply had no idea how to move on, especially in Portal. The guide doesn't spoon-feed you everything however, it leaves the lucky jumps and guesses to you, and thus I have yet to defeat the third to last level of portal. Overall, it is a fantastic guide, and along with the helpful walkthroughs are well-written descriptions of the characters and enemies in each game.
Well I live in costa rica, it takes 22 days to me to arrive but cuz i paid the cheapest service hehe. If you are looking for a 100% complete in the 5 games so you have to buy it.It Contains all the weapons, creatures all you can thin.5 Starts
