What a disapointment. This game was too short. I figure maybe six hours of game play with it set on the the easiest setting. The scenery and characters were predictable, with no new additions or strange twists. Wasn't worth the money.
Probably One Of The Last "Good" Reviews For Blue Shift

I Just Got This Game A Few Days Ago, And I Already Beaten Blue Shift. Even Though It Is A Short Game, I Can Think Of Others (Think "Kirby's Dream Land" Ppl!), And I Say Blue Shift Is A Must-Have For 3 Things: 1. If You Don't Own Opposing Force (It's Included In The Package) 2. If You're A Fan Of THe Half-Life Series 3. If Ya Want To Have An Upgrade To Half-Life's Characters And Weapons! This Game Is Good, So Buy It If You Qualify For Either Of These Reasons.
Very Good

This is a must have if you are a HL fan. I loved HL and decided that I must have this a long time ago.
The HD Pack, that everyone is raving about, is nice. However the most that it seems to do is improve some of the charactor and weapon models. Yes, the sound effects and some textures got a face lift as well, but all this still can't escape the fact that it is the HL engine and is three years old and still feels like it.
That aside, the new campain is a blast. I was expecting more of the same as in OpFor, but Blue Shift shows that someone wanted to do more than that. That I ended up in Zen is no surprise, but that the trip was both creative in design and more part of the story impressed me. The campain is a blast and also reveals more about Black Mesa and the story.
Overall this all adds up to a good experence well worth paying for and spending my time.
Sierra should of looked to Neil Manke(they hunger)for ideas

Blue shift had me very excited, and I couldn't wait to see how they could of made a part 3 any better than opposing force. But I was very disappointed, the game took me about 6 hours to defeat. And there was really nothing exciting at all about it. Even the hazard training course was the same. No new story lines or videos. If it were possible I would of rather had paid my money to Neil Manke, the maker of They Hunger. Blue shift would have made a much better free download expansion. At least they offer a rebate for my old op4 disc, and the new high definition is a good upgrade. I suppose part 4 will be Half-Life Black ops, hopefully with some more story and more game time.
This game is SWEEET

THIS GAME IS PERFECT!
Just get the cd key AND FOR 10$ BAM! YOU GET A FREE HALF LIFE, OPPOSING FORCE AND BLUE SHIFT, ALONG WITH COUNTERSTRIKE VIA STEAM!
Great for people who don't want to spend money.. and also don't want to play this game. The game itself blows, but with Steam, the game allows 15$ of savings.
tooooo bloody short

This new chapter in the Half Life games will blow you away. With awesome graffics, realistic aliens and killer weapons this game is the best you could find. One of the cool things is you get to see the scientists and marines that you met in the first and second chapter. You have been the scientists, you have been the marines and now your the police.
