Between Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2, you're bound to find something you'll absolutely love in The Orange Box.
Let's start with new stuff. Episode Two is the continuation of the Half-Life 2 story. It picks up right where Episode One leaves off, with Alyx helping Gordon out of the rubble of a train crash. You've escaped from City 17, which now looks more like a smoking crater in the ground with a huge, swirling portal floating over it. But you aren't safe just yet. You've escaped with information that the Combine very much wants to get back from you, so the chase is on again. Fortunately, you'll do much more than just run in Episode Two. The biggest difference here is that Alyx doesn't directly accompany you through the entire game. You'll split up much more frequently, so, for example, you'll find yourself working your way through antlion nests and crushing antlion grubs all by your lonesome. You'll also negotiate a mine with the help of a vortigaunt who happens to serve as a subtle form of comic relief. It spouts dialogue that plays off of the serious, spiritual tone that most of these aliens take, only applying it to things such as crates full of supplies that just flew down a broken mineshaft and out of reach. These bits alone give Episode Two a much different tone than the previous games, but there are also significant gameplay alterations.
Episode Two marks the return of the lengthy vehicle sequences seen in Half-Life 2. There's a large block of action that takes place with you moving from spot to spot in what appears to be a stripped-down Dodge Charger. There are also a couple of big set pieces, such as one sequence where you have to defend the center of a mine from relentless antlion attacks. Likewise, the game's final sequence takes place in a wide-open area and, without getting too specific, feels very different from anything Half-Life 2 has done so far. Although you won't encounter any new weapons in Episode Two, the developers have at least broken the flashlight power meter out from the same auxiliary power that you use to sprint. This is a smart change that doesn't make much sense in terms of continuity between episodes, but it's handy and the sort of thing you wish they'd roll back into the much darker, much more flashlight-oriented action of Episode One. At about four or five hours, Episode Two is also longer than Episode One.
Trying to describe this game with words just wouldn't be right. You just have to play it so you can feel it's perfection and glory. It's the best spent 50$ ever! You get 5 titles, 3 completely different game styles (HL2, TF2, Portal).
For those who don't know HL2, the whole episode, is just legendary. Can't wait for the finishing title. Team fortress 2 is the most entertaining multiplayer game I have ever played. It's has so much fun & creativity in it that you just can't not to like it. Oh and Portal… Well, completely new game, completely new idea, new story… Amazing! In the whole level there are no enemies, no-one to kill, but it has such great game-play, it will just suck you in with it's logical riddles & great story, but for the hint when playing - the end is not the end (just like in Hitman Blood Money) – there is still a lot more to do after "the end".
About hardware optimization, well you have to admit that Valve has done a great thing in optimization, because you can play all the titles on satisfying level with pretty old rig & if you want to play it on ultra high :D you don't have to own a PC form the future, a bit more powerful machine than regular one will do just right and let you enjoy this bundle in all it's greatness & glory.
