  Two words....Unbelieveably Incredible !

11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

Everyone (old enough to play it) should own this game. For anyone who used to play Team Fortress Classic on the PC - This game picks up right where it left off! It even has some familiar maps like 2Fort. The gameplay is flawless and the animation is awesome. I was skeptical at first of the new graphics, but after 10 seconds of gameplay, I was convinced that Valve knew what they were doing all along. The sound effects are familiar as well as the fun factor we all remember!! I forgot how much fun Team Fortress is!!

Anyone who didn't get to play Half-Life 2 on the PC that utilized an awesome graphics card will finally get to see what the graphics are supposed to look like. I played Half-Life 2 on the xbox and, while fun, it suffered in the graphics arena. I haven't even started playing Episode 1 or 2 yet, simply because I want to fully appreciate Half-Life 2 all over again even though I completed it on xbox.

Portal looks amazing and will keep you coming back, it is super challenging and innovative as well. I can already imagine the clones that will attempt to copy it.

If you love first person shooters, then you probably already have this one on your list, but if you've never been into them, then this is the title for you.

For the money, this box set is a steal. Do yourself a favor and get this game! It is an instant classic and people will be playing this one online for years to come!! Enjoy !!!

  The Orange Box!! Multiple Array of Games
Review created: 08/09/08
by:

Hello,

You have many choices of games to play with this one.

Portal: Excellent Game!! Not that long but great none the less. Shoot your portal and go onto the next level.

Team Fortress 2: Great online play and achievements.

Half Life series: The episodes are cool

Overall this game is much better played on the computer, its unfortunate but if you are not a computer gamer or ever played it on the computer, you will not notice. Except Portal was a much better experience on the 360 I must say.

This game was sent quickly and in great condition. I would buy again from this person. I don't know what else i need to say since I've said exactly what I wanted. However, this program says I need to have at least 100 characters. Great deal and great condition, thanks for the game.

  Get a PS3 absolutely free! This is 100% legitimate
Review created: 08/01/08
by:

I’m sure you've seen various 'free' gift scams on the Internet, but the following offers are NOT scams in any way, shape or form. This method has been covered by respectable sources such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Wired and G4.
The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on eBay. They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money that goes toward yours and my free gift.

There are many well known legitimate offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer a few people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link.
Step 1: Click this link
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4991526
Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).
Step 3: Complete just 1 free trial offer (like Stamps.com, You will start a trial and can cancel it right after with no charge at all.)
Step 4: Refer to people to do the same. Just do what I’m doing and use eBay.
Step 5: Receive your PS3 for FREE!

For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

  Buy it for Portal alone!
Review created: 07/22/08
by:

I had to buy the game after a lot of my friends told me how fun Portal was. After trying it for myself, I have to agree that Portal is the most fun I have ever had with a puzzle game. I have to give props to Valve for making an enjoyable puzzle game that functions like a shooter. Team Fortress is a well made game also: there is a reason why it is one of the most played online PC games. Half life is more of an add-on in my opinion. Chances are that if you ever played an FPS before you know about it, so I won’t bother writing about it. The Orange box is definitely a great addition to any gamer’s library.

  The Orange Box, Great Value, Great Games.
Review created: 07/02/08

All I can say is wow. How the development team managed to fit 5 games onto one disc is beyond me, but even more importantly, the disc contains 5 EXCELLENT games.

Half Life 2 is one of the most revolutionary First Person Shooters ever created. Having this game alone on one disc is worth buying. The game holds an excellent replay value and I could imagine myself playing it multiple times through as time goes on. The gravity-gun is also one of the best weapons ever put into a game and is revolutionary in itself.

The two extensions of the game, Episodes One and Two, are also great, however short, extensions onto an already outstanding game.

Portal is perhaps the most entertaining and amazing game I have ever played in my life. Just even considering how they managed to make such a technologically marvelous game is beyond me, but the product is simply mind blowing. I would recommend this game by itself to anybody who is willing to use their brain a little bit while playing a video game. The game is VERY funny, and tons of fun.

Team Fortress 2 has introduced me to a whole new level of a multiplayer experience. The game is consisting of 9 distinct classes (each of which have their own downfalls and perks) that must be utilized effectively to win a match. Gametypes are more objective based, such as capture the flag and territory control, rather than standard Team Deathmatches. Though this concept has turned off many players, it was a good choice on the part of the developers, because a Team Deathmatch option would not have worked well at all. I have had more fun playing this multiplayer than I have with Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3, and that, in itself, says a lot.

Each game is brilliant in it's own right, and I have never EVER seen such a great value and technological ingenuity contained in one 'Box'. I would probably even lay out $100 or more to buy this package, due to its limitless fun. If you own an XBOX360, and are old enough to play it (Half Life 2 has a few instances of gore, as well as Team Fortress. Team fortress is far more cartoonish, though.), this needs to be on your shelf.

  Worth the money
Review created: 06/29/08

The Half-life 2 series was awesome, as was portal. They are great games and should definitely be experienced by any FPS fan who likes a little strategy to their gaming. Team Fortress 2 is also pretty fun but it can start to feel repetitive after a while and there are a lot of gaming glitch/cheats that the company won't fix so if you have people on the other team willing to use those glitches then games get down right frustrating. But as an over all package this game is well worth the money... especially if your getting it on ebay for cheap.

  Orange Box on 360: 1 of the few 360 games worth owning
Review created: 06/20/08

Great game, worth every penny. High accolades notwithstanding, it kind of stinks that you need to have a gold Xbox live membership to play Team Fortress 2, and since I'm not one to spend hundreds of dollars on crap that should be free, it's one of the things I must regretfully miss out on. However, having the complete Half-Life 2 compilation as well as the Outstanding PORTAL, this package still delivers on all fronts, even without the inclusion of Team Fortess 2.

I will go out on a limb and say that the majority of Xbox 360 games don't appeal to me. I just don't see the big deal about a system whose library consists mainly of 6 hour-long shooters. In fact, I can't even count on one hand the amount of games that I can say that I like on this overrated console. While I may not be much of a FPS fan, the Orange Box would be #1 on my list of Best 360 games. And despite the fact that the bulk of 360's library consists of 6 hour shooters, Orange Box is a compilation of four AMAZING 6-hour shooters, plus an allegedly fun multiplayer game that we know as Team Fortress 2. All in all, a Must-have for the 360 in my opinion.

Certainly it would be a lot better if Team Fortress 2 had a single player mode or at the very least an offline Local Multiplayer where you could face off with friends in the same room, but sadly it doesn't, so this is the one drawback I have with this compilation. I'm sure Team Fortress 2 is a good game, but I will never get to experience it due to greedy Microsoft and their pay-to-play online nonsense. Even so, The Four other games included in this bundle is well worth your investment. And if you happen to be fortunate and/or spoiled enough to have a Gold Live membership, more power to ya. Just don't hesitate to pick up this diamond in the rough.

  Orange Box = 3 Excellent Games
Review created: 06/11/08

I know there are really five games, but Half-Life Episodes 1 & 2 are short and really are just add-ons to the main game. You COULD play them out of order or by themselves, but then you would really miss out on the phenomenal story that HL2 offers in full.

Half-Life 2, Episodes 1 & 2: Excellent. AWESOME!!

Fun factor: 10/10 if your a FPS fan, 6/10 if your not so much. This game is a shooter through and through. It really pulls away from the pack with it's innovative level design, gameplay and variety of light puzzles and enemies to engage with.

Visuals: 9/10 The graphics on the Xbox 360 are sharp and hi-rez. Everything from backgrounds to textures to faces are rendered in photographic or near photographic quality, which gives this 4-year old game a very new feel. Things break apart nicely when you hit or shoot them, even your weight can smash somethings. Particle effects, which are plentiful in this Sci-Fi shooter, are a delight to witness.

Audio: 9/10 This would have gotten a 10/10 if there was a little more dialogue. All of the plot advancing takes place within real-time game scenes, and there is enough of it during those times, but other than that there is hardly any talking. You will occasionally hear radio chatter or some kind of PSA, which do add to the overall ambiance. Physical sounds of things colliding or being destroyed, weapon sounds and character/enemy voices or sound FX are all top notch.

Tech: 9/10 Everything works here. Controls, precision, movement, collision detection (except getting stuck in an Antlion Pit), physics, frame-rate, draw distance. Load times are quick but you may find they are numerous. The way Valve built this game allows for a "seamless" flow, there ARE different levels marked by their labels popping up every so often, but there is no stopping of gameplay between them.

Difficulty: 7/10 if your good with FPS, 9/10 if your new to the genre.

Overall: 8.8/10
--------------------

Portal: Very cool. Uber-unique and very fun to play.

Portal is somewhat based off of the HL world. There are similarities or parallels between them and they serve to tie into the overall theme, even if they are subtle like the turrets or the gravity gun. This is a puzzle game with a twist. First, you play it in first-person mode, second, it does have it's brief action sequences and third, the story is a little deeper than other puzzle games. This game is a challenge but starts out easy. The idea is that you have a "gun" that shoots two different portals, walk through one and come out the other. Easy right? Riiight ...

Fun Factor: 10/10 if you like HL, puzzles or "breakaway" games. 5/10 if otherwise.

Visuals: 8/10. Even though you may not encounter much that is visually stunning, everything is pristine. The first time you see your self through the portal is amazing.

Audio: 8/10 Again, not a whole lot but everything sounds good. I love the GLaDOS voice that is essentially the backbone of the game.

Tech: 10/10 The physics are OUTSTANDING and are an integral part of how you play the game. Everything else is top-notch.

Difficulty: 7/10 if you play the story only. 10/10 if you try the advanced levels.

Overall: 8.6/10

---------------

Team Fortress 2: Fun to play. I haven't played this game a whole lot.

Fun Factor: 8/10 Fun with people you know.

Visuals: 8/10 Cartoony.

Audio: 6/10 Eh.

Tech: 7/10 Good.

Difficulty: 7/10 Medium learning curve.

Overall: 7.2/10

  Best value of any video game!
Review created: 06/06/08

I would have bought each of the included games separately, and the fact that all five of them were together in one box made this the best video game I have ever bought! Half-life 2 is as fun as it always was, Portal is one of the smartest, funniest, and most enjoyable games to come out recently, and Team Fortress 2 makes for a very enjoyable break from typical multiplayer FPS.

Very highly recommended!

This game is a very good deal, five games for one price is a steal! And the thing about it is that all the games are killer, not filler. Half-life 2 and its episodes that are included are very fun and entertaining with its story and awesome physics engine, Portal is a fun and original puzzle game that forces you to think in a whole new way. Sadly, I currently do not have Xbox Live, so I haven't had a chance to play Team Fortress 2, and it is a shame too since I loved Team Fortress Classic. I highly recommend this game!

  XBOX 360 - The Orange Box
Review created: 04/18/08

First off if you are looking for games at a really good price Ebay is the place to find it. I got this for about $36/shipped, which was a good price, for a used game that plays very well. As for the game itself, it comes at you with five games. The first three is the Half-Life Trilogy that has well done game play/storyline, easy controls and decent graphics, which continues to draw you back into the game. I've only just begun putting the hours into the game and probably not close yet to finishing Half-Life, but I am very curious to see what other environments, creatures/enemies and storyline the next two episodes have in store. Portal is a blend of puzzles and action/adventure, that will surely keep you mind thinking about how to set-up or take down a certain challenge(s). I found this game pretty amusing especially after you gone through it once, more obstacles await you in the Portal world. Team Fortress 2 is a online/system link game only, so playing this you will need to have XBOX Live or another XBOX 360. The online game play is totally addicting with cartoon like character style, crazy weapons and different maps. Hopefully they come out soon with a map pack for this. Over all very impressed with every aspect of Valve and what they have been producing. I was an avid Counter-Strike person who pwned a lot of PC gamers and now going to console its a new whole ball game, which is a challenge I relish.

  Amazing
Review created: 04/17/08
by:

Bsically it has 3 games. You get Half Life 2, Portal, and team fortress. You could get this game just for half Life 2 because it's a great first person shooter with amazing graphics, cool sci-fi story line, and awsome puzzles as well as different vehicles that you use in different stages of the game, but Portal is just mind-blowing.
Portal is a short game, but it's an amazing game. Play for the experience you won't find anywhere else. You basically have a gun that fires one hole into a wall (blue hole) and another hole into another wall (orange hole) and then you can step through blue to orange and vice versa (A "Portal) transporting yourself through one area to another. You use this ability to solve various puzzles and defeat robotic enemies.
As for Team Fortress, it's ok, but nothing special. It's controls are a bit clunky and out-dated. As a multiplayer first person shooter it ranks pretty low in comparison with games like Halo 3, Gears of War, and my favorite, Call of Duty 4. Considering it's an add-on to the first two games and you get it for free, well who cares. Anyways, the only reason you shouldn't by this game is if you don't have the money (although I might have been willing to give up food for awhile just to get it) or if you don't own a PS3 or Xbox 360. Otherwise, buy this game. You orange going to regret it!

  Orange Box is a box of amazing value
Review created: 04/13/08

In this box you get the great Half-Life 2 videogame along with Episodes 1 and 2. Then you have the highly acclaimed game Portal (search Still Alive on YouTube if you're unfamiliar) and of course the cartoony remake of a classic class based shooter, Team Fortress 2. 5 fantastic games all in a package for one low price. Lower than most games infact. Half-life 2 is my favorite videogame. Portal is a lot of fun especially with the huge twist and dark humor throughout. TF2 is also a lot of fun with so many different characters with different abilities the game is different everytime. Buy this package! If you can't buy it from retail buy it from ebay. The price is more than reasonable.

  Great game, Lousy system to play it on!
Review created: 03/23/08

There's never been a package on a console like The Orange Box.
For $60 you get five games: Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode One, HL2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.
If you're keeping score, that's one of the best shooters of all time, its two expansion packs, a new and innovative puzzle game, and an off-the-wall multiplayer game. That's in one box, on one disc. If there's one must buy game of the year, it is, without a doubt, The Orange Box. All five components are excellent, with Half-Life 2 and Episode Two being the two finest single-player first-person shooters on the lame ass 360!

Accessing the five games is easy, thanks to a simple, but elegant menu system. You can hop into any of the Half-Life components without having beaten the prior versions. So, if you've played Half-Life 2 before, you can skip it (though you really should play it again), and go right into the episodic content. Also included for every game (save HL2) is director commentary which offers an in-depth look at level and map design as well as story elements for the Half-Life universe. It's about as slick a package as you will find on a console. The only failure is the horrendous box art, which I'm pretty certain was designed by a select group of mildy-talented fifth graders.

this collection of games has to be, in my opinion, the single greatest collection of fps games to hit the xbox 360. halflife 2 and all its expansions are a great single player fps experience, and portal is an amazing and addicting puzzle fps.
also team fortress 2, i find, is much more fun than halo 3 multi-player and certainly less punishing.
if you like any kinds of fps game pick this up, its worth the 50$ (or if you are on a budget get it used for half that + shipping on ebay ^_-)

Orange box gets 5 out of 5 headcrabs from this crowbar wielding gamer!

  The Freeman is a most fine companion
Review created: 03/05/08

For anyone who enjoyed Half Life 2 or Half Life 2 Episode One on the PC, The Orange Box is a worthy successor and brings a great PC port to the Xbox 360. Graphics aren't what they would otherwise be on the PC but on a much larger television screen over an Xbox system, the graphics difference is but a slight tradeoff. Game can be a little buggy and has crashed on me once or twice during the infamous between scene "loading" sessions. Must agree with some before that this whole package together, does cause Episode One to stand out as a relatively weak link. Also, The Orange Box' achievements are kind of a pain in the butt for the amount of points relative to the task needing to be accomplished. I, for one, carried that stupid garden gnome all the way from the beginning of the game and popped it into the open rocket hatch two thirds of the game later, for a meager 20 achievement points. Not sure why I felt posessed to do this, but I did. Maybe you will too?

  Get your FREE PS3!!! I did it and it WORKS!!!
Review created: 02/29/08
by:

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It
literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I
promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account
status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you
on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below,
register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete
just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise
your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other
sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different
pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else
to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not
use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Posterpass.com and paid only $10 for 4 posters). Look at the offers and choose the one
that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer,
simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to
do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on
eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which
goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your
own personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link:

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping
Is Free!!!)
