Have any of you played it? I just finished it and it's a masterpiece, I've never had a game actually affect me, it totally toyed with my emotions. I've spent a good portion of my life with the Half life series, I've grown so accustomed to so many of the characters. I actually feel like I'm apart of the resistance.
I have to say HL2:EP2 REVOLUTIONIZED game drama, I have never participated in a game with such great voice acting and character emotion.
The feeling of urgency was there, when Alyx was stabbed by the hunter my jaw just dropped, I really enjoyed having her tag along and I just wanted to get up and rip that fuckers face off for harming her. To the Vortigaunts showing such care and devotion for Alyx and the resistance.
I am going to look at the ending of HL2:EP2's ending as the grand daddy of all drama in games. It was so realistic, Eli telling Alyx to close her eyes as the Advisor sucked his brains out, DOG attempting to save all of us, Alyx's crying just said the mood for EP3. It will involve a long painful death of every Advisor found.

That's the ending if anyone wants to check it out, though I doubt you'll have the same feeling if you haven't played the series and really enjoyed it.
But the game was just so short, I was only getting started when it ended. I just knew the second he died that it was too dramatic for the game to continue without it being another episode. That's the only real disappointment I have with it, they fit so much into the game so well but it just was too short.
They say the game, walking wise, is as large as HL2. It took me over 10 hours to beat HL2 the first time, mainly because I really dilly daddled. It took me 4 1/2 hours to beat EP2 with dilly daddling, they said 6-8 which is just a lie.
