Finish it in 4 hours last night.
All in all its very good, two actual heart wretching moments in the game where i did indeed say "No, this cant happen!"
Character interaction is alot better.
Annnnnnnnd
Theres a huge chunk of information laid bare during the game about Gordon and where hes going.
Also as a minor tidbit, there was alot of talk in the HL2 original about where it was set. EP2 finally clears that up and tells you where City 17 is based
I'll definatly be playing it through again, some truly frantic moments of combat that i'm sure everyone will love
