<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Unlike Doom 3, which is a corridor crawler in the dark for most of the game, HL2 mixes up the environments and the objectives... and its well lit. Also, Doom 3 didnt give you one single new weapon while the minds at Valve keep thinking of cool things like the gravity gun.
I have no idea how D3 got the reviews it did, the magazines and websites are such whores. HL2 deserves its high marks, thats for sure.
I just got passed the Ravenholm part, and man was the freaky.</div>
