Most importantly, unlike many other mods, the design and map layout are professionally done. Rating: 95% Recommendation: Personal Favourite (My kind of game!).

I can't believe I haven't played this earlier... Great gameplay, nice use of music and voices from the game, and not too hard but challenging. Too bad the author doesn't make maps anymore.

The level design is quite simple, but it is marvellous when bundled with the fast paced action. My only gripe with it is that the opening sequence is not very straightforward, in fact it is very easy to miss the area where you are given your first weapons, which makes the following level where you meet the first enemies quite puzzling. In the end, there is not much to say. Download it. Now. Even after all these years, this splendid mod is still one of my favourites.

The level design is outstanding, it makes my PC lag (lol) but not too much to waste the fun, the architecture is perfect and well crafted into the adventure, it feels great. The battles are great, though, I would like a bit more stealth element, all the action is amazing throughout the mod, and stoping Mr. Smith is one of the must fun action I ever had in any mod. This is the first SP adventure that I play twice in a row, so, what the hell are you waiting for? download NOW! 4/5 Excellent single player mission for half life, it almost puts you inside a secret agent adeventure, but of course, it’s half life, it uses the weapons from half life, there aren’t new textures, but there are a lot of fun scripted events, these are well done because they make you feel inside the adventure (just like half life 1 did).

Plenty of ammo and other supplies around to remain in the action and a lot of cover if under heavy fire. Nothing too frustrating anywhere during the mod, however some few puzzles aren't obvious at first. Enemies are mostly soldiers throughout several levels, but eventually you'll fight some Xen aliens, although they aren't too difficult to beat, so everything remains fun and enjoyable. A few secrets to get a few extra weapons to help you on the mission which were a nice find, and some traps for the player to look out for. <b>Design:</b> This modification keeps a consistent, solid and tidy structure throughout the entire mission. Each area of the mountain complex has its own style of design and texturing, the first part having a lot of marble and a rich sense added to it. The labs also have their own style but look similar to those from Black Mesa. Texturing has been done well in each area, while some mix others together to add more detail into it. Each room has plenty of objects, furniture or computers to fill up the space but of course some crates which gets a bit old. The lighting is moderate throughout with nothing that looks bad or out of place. Everything uses the default textures and sounds, but use them well to create some interesting designs for a few rooms and corridors, and the thunder from the introduction level. There was a slight bug with the bathroom door later in the mod, in the blue corridor. Pressing the use key on the glass panel causes it to "open" therefore closing earlier than the main door if that is opened as well making it look weird, doesn't affect gameplay though. <b>Conclusion:</b> Balanced, consistent and enjoyable gameplay with a solid, tidy design throughout. <b>Rating: </b>84% Gameplay:
