The Orange Box Features
|
Characters - Advanced facial animation system delivers the most sophisticated in-game characters ever seen. With 40 distinct facial muscles, human characters convey the full array of human emotion, and respond to the player with fluidity and intelligence
Physics - From pebbles to water to 2-ton trucks respond as expected, as they obey the laws of mass, friction, gravity, and buoyancy
Graphics - Source's shader-based renderer, like the one used at Pixar to create movies such as Toy Story and Monster's, Inc., creates the most beautiful and realistic environments ever seen in a video game.
AI - Neither friends nor enemies charge blindly into the fray. They can assess threats, navigate tricky terrain, and fashion weapons from whatever is at hand

Additional The Orange Box Information

With part 3 of the Half-Life saga in the horizon, this collection brings you from the start so you're ready to take on the third episode of this exciting trilogy. Half Life earns its popularity and reputation at being the first First Person Shooter game to use aq lifelike, realtime plot that pits you in the action as well as behind the trigger. Created by Valve Software, each episode employs advanced technologies for better, more realistic play. In Half-Life, you assume the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a recently graduated theoretical physicist who must fight his way out of an underground research facility whose teleportation experimentations have gone awry. The second part of the trilogy of episodic expansions for Half-Life 2, Episode Two picks up where Episode One left off with Gordon and Alyx traveling out of City 17 and into a vast new environment.
The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people people he cares about are counting on him. Intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source, Valve's new proprietary engine technology

What Customers Say About The Orange Box:

I have even gotten the wife to play a bit (and I have witnessed other guys online doing the same with their wives) and she had a blast. I have had this package since last year and have never even bothered playing anything other then TF2, which is worth the price of admission right there. I have fooled around a bit with HL2 and it seems great but with my limited game playing time I am just too addicted to TF2 to bother.I am not a particularly big gamer but the simplicity of the learning curve matched by the complicated strategy needed to succeed makes TF2 endlessly entertaining. I even played some matches against a whole family; father, mother, son, & 2 daughters. TF2 is just fun for everyone.
All three included games are pretty fun. I'm not really into the whole horror thriller type of game, like Half-Life 2, I just wanted Team Fortress 2, and figured I'd pay a little more to get them all together. Portal is really cool, but it was very short, which was saddening. Team Fortress 2 never gets old.
Good value out of the orange box. TF 2 is amazing and I play online with buddies for my college years. enjoy.
3 awesome games, Half-Life 2 (with episode one), Team Fortress 2 and Portal, each uniquely entertaining. A great value for hours of play. There is nothing negative that can be said about this gem from Steam. Highly recommended.
This game is AWESOME. Portal is amazing. The graphics are very good. The game play is very smooth. My favourite game is Half-life 2. Team Fortress Two is very fun, my sister thinks I am addicted.
