Actually, PCG "only" gave it 96%. Seemed like a good review to me. Having also seen the movies, I will be buying this game. Course they also reviewed Rome: Total War, and gave it 95%. PCG make the point that both Valve (HL2) & the Creative Assembly (RTW) have taken their time with these, and completely refused to rush to release, so I think the lack of MP isn't down to lack of time (like it was for Civ3), but a deliberate decision. HL2 will stand or fall (and rightly so in my view) on the SP experience. The reviews say these 2 companies have taken gaming in their respective fields to the next level. Player feedback should be interesting.

Yeah there's Source but that's a load of bollox if you don't like CS, and on top of that it's just a gfx update and nothing else... even the gfx update is sloppy: It uses the same textures as the original CS, which were horribly crappy!!!!!!!!!
Of course I haven't played the SP yet so that might be a great experience. On the other hand like most other games around today it doesn't take awfully long to finish the game from what I've heard...
