    Half Life is an Amazing Series but Lost Coast didn't cut it for me. Alright, it's fun to play and I enjoy the Gameplay. But there isn't really much to it and for me the Game is over in Minutes (My best Time is 5 Minutes) And really all there is to it is a Small 5-10 Minute Level. So, the Game deserves a 10 for it's fun Gameplay and addictiveness but is knocked down to 7 by the Downsides

    The game is a free level that was cut from the game that comes with Half-Life 2 when you buy it. It features great graphics and environments showing what the Source engine is capable of. The game is very simple and short and features shooting, climbing, puzzles and a small boss fight with a chopper. The game is a fun experience and lets you enjoy the great graphics while playing.

    It is a good tech demo and a nice benchmark for the Source Engine, but not a particularly brilliant chapter of the Half Life series. Get it to complete your game library, or to benchmark your video card.

    So, Lost Coast is basically a planned then scrapped level of Half Life 2 that Valve decided to release for free anyway to showcase some of the stuff they can do with their Source engine. It is actually the first Valve game to utilize developer commentary, a feature Valve would use for (this is to my knowledge) Episode One, Episode Two, Portal 1, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2So, Lost Coast is basically a planned then scrapped level of Half Life 2 that Valve decided to release for free anyway to showcase some of the stuff they can do with their Source engine. It is actually the first Valve game to utilize developer commentary, a feature Valve would use for (this is to my knowledge) Episode One, Episode Two, Portal 1, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2. So, this just shows how much success you can have if you experiment with new things. The game itself isn't that good, though. You're done in about 5-10 minutes and there is barely any replay value. However, this is balanced out by Lost Coast being a free game, but still. Kinda dampens the experience. Overall, Half Life 2: Lost Coast is a decent experience that you should only buy for free.… Expand

    Вырезанный уровень из главы "Шоссе 17" из оригинальной игры, теперь в виде графической демки обновленных возможностей движка. Приятно было пробежать за часик, к тому же имеются довольно любопытные сегменты (битва в церкви, например). Если не хватает игр Source эстетики, то рекомендовать можно однозначно.

    It was fun. Short and sweet. No problems at all. I need to just fill the space in the review to fill the character limit.

    Really short and not tied to the story in any particular way, only really released to show the capabilities of the source engine.
