Comments on: Underground – Half-Life http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/underground-half-life/ Finishing Half-Life is just the beginning!

Claustrophobic level design, vent crawling and puzzles. He managed to keep the level design fresh even after all we've seen in the expansions and other mods. The ending was something I think we expected but the journey is what counts. I would love to see more from this guy, even if its not for HL. The guy who made this knows what makes Half-Life good.

You sometimes miss buttons and things like that, because it's so dark! Otherwise than that it's fine. Standard half-life adventure. Fighting grunts, aliens, solving little puzzles. Nothing complicated or long. No serious bugs in my version. Now, i don't know if this was intended or not, but in the end level i took down two helicopters with one rocket! Mayby i was just lucky... A small download, with lots of playing time. Nothing wrong with it, except that it is all standard stuff, you've see a dozen times before.

The levels ended up tedious; darkness and claustrophobia abound. On several occasions, you wound up in tight quarters with several crates or barrels... and no conceivable way for the objects to have been hauled in there. While it IS just a game, quirks like this really detract from my enjoyment of any mod. There were several daft puzzles, and though I still managed to figure them out fairly easily, at their conclusion I was left wondering, "What was the developer thinking!?!" Throw in some very poorly balanced health and enemy numbers (a sky flooded with Alien Controllers, anyone?) and a thoroughly anticlimactic ending, and this one is better left alone unless you're really in need of a fix I won’t say this mod didn’t have any redeeming qualities (its small filesize:gameplay ratio, for example), but I can certainly think of many others that I’d rather be playing.

For, lets say, dumb and/or patience less/angry people, this mod may go unnoticed. It is hard, in any given difficulty level and the beginning is kind of bad programmed, (when everything blows up I got the Security Officer gun before it would go pan black screen and did not go after the crowbar). So I found myself cheating a great number of times... I think you could try this mod, but it is not that great, not even the design (So far). But dont let it go without attracting your attention.

After i installed QuArK, figured out how it works, made three copies of that wall_puff file and renamed them, i was ready to restart the game, which til that point (down the drain) wasn't quite attractive. Plus the fact that my health was at 43 when i got my hev suit :)) But it got better and better, as I moved on with the story, if there was any, cus mein Deutsch ist bad.. Anywayz, the maps are small and a fight is predictable (which is bad) - you can easy spot a pattern, given the fact that it preps you with health and ammo (lots of it) before the fights, which kept getting harder (which is good). I wasn't bored at all, because of the changing scenarios and enemies, and the puzzles were quite fun, except i was annoyed by the fact that i had to go back some savings because i didn't do everything in the right order.... It definitely deserves a try, in German AND English. I for one would like to know what was written in the end, i`m sure it was funny, especially the 'Staring at a Black screen must be nice' line :) The ‘not being able to move after the intro’ thing was also because the controls were changed.
