I dont' think some people understand like how good this game is, i'm not saying it's incredible or anything; but there are certain aspects to this game that are just so immersive.
The best parts in the game are when you're running around, the lights are flashing, they flicker out, and you're like...oh sh1t. I got my z680's turned up, and the surround sound is great, you can HEAR the footsteps of stuff approaching, and you're like, OH GOD!!! lol...anyway what i'm getting at is the audio in the game is very intense, sure sometimes i didn't think some of the sounds fit to what was happening in the game, but a lot of the time , i'd be spinning around because i heard something, only for it to be a little bit of machinery working.
It is really fun! All games seem too short when you can beat them in a day or two, but that also means you enjoyed playing them too.
I'll be waiting on Half Life 2, and Halo 2, i'm sorta looking forward to Halo2 more, just because the first one has given me COUNTLESS ours of fun between me and my friends. But this game was very fun, and can make you jump at certain times.
Another thing i like in the game is when it's so dark, and you're peeking into a little space, and you're like, am i supposed to go that way? It's so dark you can't even tell there's just a wall there, but it's even better when you walk toward it, and a horrible flesh eating zombie jumps out at you! heh, oh well those are my 2 cents, nothing too revolutionary, but damn fun nonetheless!
*semi spoiler..well not really*
Alright so after you walked into the room after stuff started happening in the beginning, and there was that "dead guy" laying on top of the control panel, and you turn around and then you're being attacked by him, i bet you went around shooting all the other dead bodies from that point forward before approaching them. That too is a pretty cool aspect, you just were just expecting too much from this game. I was kind of , that is why i realize it's like a mortal game, but it's still good.
And yes, the hype for Matrix 2 made that movie like the worst thing i've ever seen lol. Also the fact that i watched like a 12 minute trailer, and it was basically the first 30 minutes of the movie...so i was like...wait...what's going on.
BUT! then i went into matrix 3 expecting it to be OK, and it was better than that so hey whatever. Matrix 3 was pure action, i liked that, some parts were pretty hokey though, oh well. Win some, ya lose some.
