Just imagine the perfect game made even more perfect. The multiplayer feature is definitely a plus, not to mention the many other innumerable additions that Havas has made. I was in awe when the original engine came out, and now...it's simply a pc gamer's nirvana. The adrenaline pack is a must have for any gaming enthusiast!

Great Deal!

I was hesitant to buy this beacuse I wasnt sure how it would look on my laptop with only 4MB of video ram. It couldnt be better, all 3 games in this pack will play with 4MB. The more ram the better of course, but the game lets you choose your own settings. The multi player is awesome. Buy all 3 in one and save a bunch. You cant ask for more game at this price.I recommend this pack to any soldier deployed.

Holy Guacamole!

This game is awesome. The single-player mode is excellent, but multi-player is even better. Incredible sounds effects. I'm now recuperating in a methodone clinic. I can quit any time... really... I'm serious. Stop reading this and go buy it already.

Greatest Game Ever

This is the best game I have ever played. It is hard to explain and words hardly do it justice.

Half-life is a mostly scripted first person shooter. It is the scripting that truly makes it great. I still remember the first time I saw 2 Marines jumping out of their helicopter and sliding down the rope towards me. That was about the time I realized they were shooting me. It's times like this when you forget you're playing a game and begin to think you really are there.

I can guarantee that this game will change the way you look at computer games. It is in a word "Perfect". If you don't already own this game I strongly suggest that you get it because if you don't like it you probably aren't from this planet (I guess you wouldn't like because the game has some anti-alien undertones).

Very good pack.

These games are extremley fun to play and the plot(s) are very well thought out. When I heard there were no cutscenes for the game I was a little dissapointed. But instead you play the whole story! From the beginning walking through the Black Mesa Research Facility, annoying scientests, to the end when the experiment gone comletly wrong comes to an end for you. That is basically the normal Half-Life. Half-Life:Opposing Force is the expansion. It is well thought out, the action starts earlier, but it's a shorter game, which is a little dissapointing, but commanding the marines you once fought is very exciting. Team Fortress, which is multiplayer, is pretty good, until you find some other versions of Half-Life multiplayer. The graphics are not very good, the gameplay gets boring ,and there is usually not enough blood.(hehe). You'd think the great games and makers would be able to make a more succseful multiplayer version. And they have! Don't waste to much time on Team Fortress, get Counterstrike, which is very good. But I'm not supposed to be reveiwing that. Mainly I recommend this pack, but Team Fortress is a major dissapointment.

This set contains two of the coolest games ever

Half-Life is best 3D action game ever made, even though it has its faults (the games becomes boring and repetitive after you leave earth and enter the "Worlds Beyond.") However, is also has some of most frighteningly intelligent enemies I have ever seen in a video game, even though soldiers don't seem to have a problem with running right through the trip line for an explosive mine. If you really get into the game (and you will) you find that it is over far too quickly, but that's where Opposing Force comes in. In the expansion, the weapons are cooler, you don't have to go to Xen for more than a few minutes, and it is much more fun to command a platoon of grunts than it us to control a wimpy, skittish scientist. Op Force builds upon the story establshed in Half-Life, and improves upon the gameplay. Before you buy this game, make sure your computer has a 3D accelerator card built in, because without one the graphics aren't nearly as nice.

OK, so this Adrenaline pack comes with 3 cool games right? Not really. You get Half-Life (the hands-down game of the century, but also available by itself for considerably less $$$), Team Fortress (an add-in that is freely downloadable from the Sierra website!), and the very mediocre expansion pack Opposing Forces. This is not worth the money. Instead just buy Half-Life, get the free add-ins, skip O.F. and play the other good free add-ins: Counter-Strike and Action Half-Life.

Best game ever

This is the best game you will ever play in your life. It comes with 3 games in one pack and like that you won't have to miss the old episodes. Even though a very hot game is coming out on Sept. 2 2000 called Hostile Takeover with a terrorist situation. Half of half life is fiction and non-fiction,well you'll find out when you play if you don't have it.

The best game ever now with expansion packs!

Half life isn't a game, it's a way of life. The most involving and enjoyable game ever produced for the PC it pulls you into the world of Gordon Freeman and his escape from the Black Mesa Research Facility.

Essential a First Person Shooter with style, Half Life has incredible graphics and attention to detail, the helicopters being a fine example.

Be warned, this game is HUGE, it goes on for ages and never gets boring. The slight downside is that there's a section at the end on Xen, the alien planet which changes tack too much and can be frustrating to complete.

The expansion pack Opposing Force is a worthy sequel to the original game taking the action from a different angle. This time you play a marine who's out to get Gordon Freeman and the good thing is that there are fellow soliders (with pretty good AI) who are there to help you.

Simply put this game is the business, from the introduction sequence, the alien AI, the graphics and the smooth gameplay there is nothing better. Buy it.
