   I have played this game several times through without ever having a problem. People who rated the game low because of "HL2 looks so good, this game should have looked better based off the same engine"; I have two reasons to give. First, this game was released the SAME DAY as HL2. Do you honestly think that they are going to even compete with the developer of the engine? Second, this game was designed to run on mid-range systems (obviously mid-range at the time). Anyone having problems with high end systems (One user posted he had a P4 3GHz and a 6800GT, etc) there is something wrong with your rig. When I first played this game, It was on an Athlon 64 3000+ 512Mb RAM and a GeForce 6600. Everything on High on at 1280x1024 without ANY problems. The game looks amazing, even compared to HL2. The story is great. Replayability is the best I've seen. Now that I have it on STEAM, I'm sure I'll play even more.… Expand

   It's THE cRPG. One of not so many out there. One of the most skillwise and choices&consequences productions out there. The story seemed very good to me. The art design is genius, quests are interesting. The voice-acting is very good and beats, e.g. the crappy work of Skyrim voice actors. Why 5/10 though? A sh**load of bugs, crappy fight mechanics, non-existing AI and sh***y level-design. Bugs are serious, often game-breaking and forcing us to load the game, the level design is terrible and collisions are broken - often we get stuck because of a chair or something like that, unable to defend ourselves. The only exception of that was the haunted hotel - one of the scariest levels in the history of games. I played about 10 hours of it, but it was too tiring to struggle with bad coders' work, fighting uninteresting and stiffy enemies through a badly designed levels, just to see a good writers' work. It could be one of the best games, but in reality it's mediocre.… Expand

   This is the kind of game that seems very impressive the first few times playing. but after a few hours its many faults begin to show. i believe this is the reason for the high ratings its been getting. the bugs make the game too fustrating to be enjoyable.… Expand
