Indeed, physics play such a prominent role in this game that it can be confusing to long-time gamers; we're so used to such options simply not being available in video games that we don't try them. It took me ages to realize that I could wedge a 2×4 into a ventilator fan to stop it, or use a crane kheops to drop a shipping crate on a squad of enemies. It just didn't occur to me, because it wouldn't have been possible in most game technologies up to this point. But it's very neat. Two breathless vehicle sequences are included, one in the world's sturdiest dune buggy and the other in a fan-powered airboat. You also have multiple opportunities to do battle with Combine vehicles, from their heavy troop dropships to the holy-crap-what-is-that-thing Strider battletanks, to which screenshots do not do justice; you have to see them in motion. |

| I could have done with practical more variety among the enemies, and I certainly felt that the AI in this game wasn't on par with the award-winning intelligence of the Half-Life death squads. Still, it was far from weak, and the game remains challenging and fun throughout. I only found myself frustrated once, during a way-too-long sequence in which I had to set up sentry guns to defend a specific area—the section was far practical too difficult, and the game's "pick up objects with your hands" controls leave a lot to be desired. Many of the favorite practical weapons from Half-Life make a return: Gordon's crowbar, the Magnum, crossbow, and others. The big conversation piece will be the Gravity Gun, a tool that allows you to manipulate objects, pull and push them, and fling them with great force at your enemies. The Gravity Gun is where the physics of the game really come into play: you use it to clear rubble, stop machines, stack things, and alter the landscape to your advantage. |
