Summary: Blue Shift, a dissapointment
Review: I can't believe this is actually a game. I've downloaded mods better than this!! Take my advice, if you want a great HL experience, get the Gunman Chronicles. It is cheaper and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: what's everyone complaining about?
Review: This game is good. The only complaint i could possibly mention is the length. But, what it lacks in length, it makes up for in difficulty. Anyone who says this game is easy is either a master FPS player, or they're not playing on Difficult level. (why play if you play on medium or easy? you might as well just play a disney game)In my mind, this is an essential element to the half-life series. Mainly because you finally get that vital piece of plot that explains what was going on in the first two games. If you've never played the first two half-life games (Half-Life, Opposing Force), i'd recommend playing them first, as this game won't make a lot of sense without a knowledge of the events that occur in them. If, however, you've played them before, and are holding off on this game because of all the negative reviews, i'd say just get it. The price has dropped.. and its certainly worth buying. Buy it for the Hi-Def pack if for nothing else.. you'll get into the game if you try.

Summary: Would be five stars if it offered anything new!
Review: Blue shift is a fun game, especially if you thought Half life was a little on the long side. The upside is that you get to explore more areas of black Mesa facility, and the XEN part is mercifully short. However, Blue shift is not much more than halflife with different levels, and the crossovers with the main plot do not come often enough. Another disappointment is that there are very few fellow security guards. The ones that are there are dead, inaccessible or mortally wounded. Overall, this is a fun game, but I suspect that valve are running out of ideas. Having said that, I'll be waiting with bated breath for half-life 2!

Summary: blue shift
Review: This game is an expansion for half-life that could have more time put in it. There are many downsides to this expansion. One is the game time its about two hours if you can play it really quick and few points were you want to take the disc and break it. Plus the lack of multi-player action and then there is no boss just a squad of grunts you have to run through or kill. When you play half-life you know there is a big difference in the difficulty and you get to play in an alien world where in blue shift you just look at Xen for 2 to 5 seconds. Basically Gear-box and Valve could have put a few more months in to it.

Review: This "expansion" is very short. I wish it were longer. I wish that about a lot of things, though.

Summary: Way easy
Review: I installed Blue Shift and then won it within a couple hours. Yes, it was fun, but it was way too small. There are only a few available weapons, and most of the challenge is devoted to navigation puzzles and pushing-barrels/crates puzzles. It is not worth the money. As an optional free download it would have been excellent.

Summary: why i didn't like it
Review: when i saw this i thought it would be cool. then i played it and it seemed kinda boring in the begining, but i thought all games aren't the best in the begining. so i played, played, played, and played and it stunk! i don't get why you have guns when theres just people missing there bones. and also the controlls where the WORST and too hard to control. in a nutshell the game stunk, and i don't think you should get it.

Summary: Had to have it.
Review: I had to have this game. The graphics are slightly improved and the story is pretty cool, but it was definitley too short and no where near as challenging as it's predecessors. I would probably give this closer to 3 1/2 stars, but because it was part of Half-Life, which I believe is the FPS ever, I got it. Reliving some of the things that happened in the previous games was great and brought back good feelings, but it all ended too quickly. Still, the cut scenes and the story carried this one through. If the price would drop, this woudl be a no brainer.

Summary: Great for hard-core HLers
Review: Blue Shift can be summed up in one word: Short. But there are some things that make the game more than just that. One of them is the HD Pack, which virtually gave away to the ugly-faced NPCs and replaced them with better looking models. But there is one thing Gearbox needs to correct. On the back of the box that shows the improved model of the alien slave, thats not the model in HL HD pack, thats from the PS2 version of HL. Other than that, everything else looks good. The next great thing about Blue Shift is that you get to play as the security guard. Ive always wondered from the HL days what the guard had to go thru to get out. And third, it tells the story of how the whole ailen incident got started, before Lambda Core was built, and the "incident". All in all, Blue Shift is good. But its only for people who are toltal fans of HL.
