Quote:Alright, so I downloaded Steam and Portal: The First Slice to play before purchasing this game. I beat the first 11-levels in about 15-minutes, but now I read on the net that this game only has 23 level?!? Why on earth would I buy a game I can beat in 25-30-minutes? Is there more to this game I am missing? Is it worth $20.00 to download off of Steam? I was seriously considering getting The Orange Box, but I never played Half-Life 1 and am not sure if the story or game is any good and $49.99 is a bit much for me right now. Oh, they lowered the price to $39.99; still about $20.00 was the most I wanted to spend right now.
You beat 11 levels in 15 minutes? I don't think it's possible to walk through the first 11 levels in that time, let alone solve any puzzles. That said, it is a fairly short game. I played throught the whole thing in between 4 to 5 hours. The level number is a bit sketchy as it isn't as clear as the game goes on.
The game is Fabulous though. I don't know if i would pay $20 for it when you can get the entire Orange Box for 40 though. $40 for the content on Orange Box is a win-win. I would point you in that direction.
