This game was a wild ride and a great follow-up to Half-Life 2. If I had a 100 lives i'd play this game over and over again. My lawyer says I'll never see her again. Where did I go wrong?
quite enjoyable. in particular the artistry of the face and body animations are truly remarkable. as are the voice artists.
