The Orange Box: Review Part 3

At long last, it's time for the end of "The Orange Box" review, with the PS3 edition having released this week.

The game is "Team Fortress 2." Here's a clip (but careful, this clip has some bloody violence in it).

Now if you remember the review of "Portal" and "Half-Life 2," you'll remember that neither game was nearly as cartoony as this one (I actually highly recommend reading both reviews before reading this one, and in chronological order, mind you - that way you'll more readily understand the format of the review...but it's not necessary).

It's actually quite refreshing. With the first two games, you have extremely realistic graphics and an almost entirely interactive environment. With "Team Fortress 2," however, it's just a first-person shooter.

But the options are unlimited! As the trailer illustrates, you have numerous options as to what you can do. You can be a guy who relies on speed, stealth, firepower, flame, or brute force. It's up to you as to what your strengths and weaknesses are.

I'm not very good at first-person shooters, as I've said before, but regardless, this one is a lot of fun.

This game makes "The Orange Box" completely worth it. How worth it, you say?

"Portal" Grade: A
"Half-Life 2" + Expansions Grade: A+
"Team Fortress 2" Grade: A
"Portal" Worth: $25
"Half-Life 2" + Expansions Worth: $50
"Team Fortress 2" Worth (What I Would Spend On This Game): $25
Actual Orange Box Cost: $60
"The Orange Box" Worth: $100!

Wow! "The Orange Box's" actual cost is almost three-fourths of what it's worth to me! You know what that means?

GO OUT AND BUY "THE ORANGE BOX."
