Truly the superior way to experience the original Half Life. A must have for any Half Life fan. Xen is gorgeously redone and features some awesome reworks to specific fights and sections. The rest of the game has been given a complete visual overhaul, along with streamlining some segments or improving others. And don't worry; they ARE improvements. You can tell how much care and passion was put into this project.
I played on Hard, which wasn't actually THAT bad. Bosses are a bit tanky, but regular enemies are fine. Also, if you buy this near the time this review has come out, be sure to use the public beta, as it improves some sections. I only experienced crashing two times in Xen, and since the game has good saving mechanics, I didn't lose much progress (if any) each time.
Get it at full price, and DEFINITELY get it if it's on sale.
