    There's no possible way to review this game. You must play! This is sandbox, you can do what you want. You must have Source SDK Base. Garry's Mod take maps from other Valve Software games, like Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2.

    Get this game now! Or at least when Steam have another offer for it...
    I got this game for £1.50... Best £1.50 ever! It's a good thing I didn't buy that can of Monster :S!

    This is the type of game that only comes around once in a life time. The game has a massive modding community that is creating thousands of amazing mods to use. The only problem is that the games patches tend to break the game rather than fix it it.

    This is a very good game!!!!! It's open to so many mods created by an amazing community! I've given it a 9 because welded props can glitch very easily when making complicated things and you have to start over.

    Garry's mod is really a fun game if you're looking to play non-stop content and games with other people then look no further. The game is endless has many prop and fun things to do to or with other people. Please buy this game, it is only 10 USD on Steam. Enjoy.

    What you can do in Half Life 2, you can do in this. In fact, if you own HL2 you can play it in Gmod! From making Dr. Kleiner fly along in a Thruster Powered bathtub off The Statue Of Liberty to making a Bowling Place using Grenades as Bowling balls and Zombies as pins, theres nothing you can do in Half Life 2 that you can't do here. Buy it.

    Es un juego muy complicado para descargar los mods y poder invitar, me parece lamentabe que el juego no traiga todas las texturas de sus escenarios, deberia ser así, por tanto es iincompleto. De todas formas es divertido y entretenido (si juegas con amigos) sobretodo el modo pro hunt, es una panzá de reir!! lo recomiendo.

    While games like Minecraft may give you the tools to build whatever you want, Garry's Mod gives you the tools to create whatever you want. Sledding gamemode? Already there. Way too role-playing gamemodes? There. The ultimate stealth/deception game of all-time (TTT)? Of course, there. Garry's Mod is fantastic, and for its price during Steam Sales, it's definitely worth it.

    In all areas of the game it is wonderful seeing all these awesome game modes you can play but I will say that sometimes you run out of game modes to play and it gets a little boring but I will say whenever you play a server over and over It will become easier to join DuH! So I Think this game is a pretty decent game

    I hate this game. The only pro is the fact that you can get customized character designs.    … Expand

    You can basically do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it, and however you want it to be done. It's a ton of fun, especially when played with friends. There are almost endless possibilities for this game! The only downside is that a ton of things have to be downloaded if you want to have the most optimal amount of enjoyment. 8/10

Horrible boring and limited experience for the base game. Also the game doesn't allow you to make unlimited amount of props and limits it to around 500 each something Mine craft manged to do without any problems.. Lame and bland starting weapons. Map issues and other reasons makes this "game" not worth the struggle and only an occasional play through if you are bored out of your mind! I have not experienced any unique fun with Gmod and probably never will maybe when it first released it was a fun and polished game but now it's a redundant mess with lots of confusing contraptions and constant repetitiveness.… Expand

    I recommend to play this if you like making up your own fun.

    Very very fun sandbox based on the Half Life 2 engine (Source). Now, with mods - you can make movies, funny faces, cool contraptions and so on. Fun! Definitely worth a try for people with imagination or the urge for creativity!

Little did I know just the extent of problems that Garry's Mod is plagued with. Most noticeable right off the bat was the clunkiness of the menu and the various actions that can be performed. They are extremely user unfriendly and frustrating as basic actions such as properly placing someone in a chair became a ridiculous comedy of errors.
    And then there's a drastic reduction in the quality of graphics and framerate from the same exact objects/characters/etc of a game that I had on the same exact laptop I was using. Normally, I am very tolerant with graphics. Now I know where the line is drawn, as some words on the walls couldn't even be read. As for the framerate, well, it's hard to actually play a game when it takes about three minutes to take a few steps. It gets this way when you have a group of objects or npcs in the map, making your options more limited.
    Then there's the dreaded purple and black squares on all the textures. If you don't buy the games that many textures, objects, etc require then you basically have these massive eyesores everywhere you look or big ERROR text. Nothing like ending up paying even more money (and a lot at that) just to play the same game, right?
    Now, the obvious question, "Why don't you ask the community?" "Get a better computer!" My computer is fine and I have looked on the boards, I have asked questions and the community was... less than friendly...
    There may be a lot of opportunity in Garry's Mod, but a litany of problems make it a very frustrating and obstructive experience. I was unable to find much that made me want to actually keep playing.    … Expand

    Very fun and addicting game. You probably have seen big Internet superstars that play this game but in different game modes. The popular game modes are called Prop Hunt, Gmod Murder, Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT), Hide & Seek, and other small little game modes to play with friends. Trust me and every other gamer... this is the game to get. It will also make and break friendships.

    Garry's mod is something special. It allows you to mess with various games made with the source engine. You can also spawn the props from these games.

    Cons:

    Pretty buggy. But you can ignore that. It's not that big of a deal, really.

    Servers seem uninteresting, and having to download all of the mods used seems pretty iffy to me. Just keep that crap cached or in a separate location!    … Expand

    Garry's Mod is an amazing game, it has so much that you can do, if you want to expand on Garry's Mod, you can just download items and weapons from the workshop. Whenever I feel down I play Garry's Mod and then I feel fine. Buy Garry's Mod for a laugh and if you like Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike because Garry's Mod contains things from these games.

    The review i'm going to write for this is going to be extremely simple: it's cheap and filled with ao much content you'll be stuck on it for more than 500 hours easily! With many diverse game types and the ability to build pretty much anything you want, this game has endless replay value and is why 9 years later it is still heavily played.
