City 17... a port from the HL2 series... strong emphasis on PORT!...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Pros
+ Runs fine
+ At least tried to be unique to some extent with a few alterations
+ Well stocked
+ Decently balanced events and finale

Cons
- It is still a port...
- Alterations are bare minimal at best...

Final Verdict
80/100

This falls into the same stink hole for me that every source port does...
I find these extremely lazy... It is a different story if it is game from another engine... but when you can literally load that level in another game... and call it a campaign... that is a very sore spot for me personally...

Now... unlike most ports... this one does atleast have some unique elements to it... though not that gameplay altering or significant... it is still something at the very least...

I am grading the port... not the level design... since it is not theirs...
With that in minds... it is a pretty good port... Balanced gameplay, runs well... as far as ports go... this is actually decent...

I really don't have much else to say... it is a decent port...
