I finished this game about a month or two ago. As a game engine it's awesome. As a stand alone game it's just good.
The game has great gameplay and physics. They also do a good job of making physics puzzles - in one part you have to submerge some floating canisters under a piece of wood to make a ramp for your boat. The gravity gun is also way cool.
They story itself starts off good - you get brought back to earth and the aliens have conquered us. You meet back up with old comrades and the Combine (aliens) start chasing you around. You really feel like you've gone a long distance in this game - the levels are huge and you spend 2 hours each in the car and the boat moving around. The problem is the ending. I was expecting some type of resolution, but you get nothing. At the end of the game I felt like I had just finished an expansion pack. A really long expansion pack (~20 hours).
