    "the first half-life demo was much more exciting!"

    November 18, 2009  |   By kwhale

    Pros

    It starts off ok.....but....

    Cons

    Not enough bullets.......needs different alien opponents...it's the same re-hash of the first demo but lacks depth. Going through the empty buildings gets old real fast. The crowbar is the best weapon. A good ol' spiked ball and chain would be better

    Summary

    The machine gun sound effects in the first Half-Life demo were much better. Especially the brass cartridges falling out of the chamber of the weapon. The 9mm is worthless... the 357 is great.....but again, the crowbar is best for close quarters...the zombies get real boring...I am glad I tried this demo, because after trying it....I will not buy it.....I am happy to play the first Half-Life.
