Yeah, I just finished it and was disappointed by the ending as well. I didn't like being limited to the GG at all, although those 'pinball hallways' were kinda fun. The Rathen-something levels (Cemetary) I thought were just completely out of place, although not unscary. The circular sawblades were very cool.
The storyline throughout seemed nonexistent, just blast your way through the levels. Not much explanation for anything. Fortunately, just blasting through stuff was cool enough. That aside, I'd say this is in my top 5 games all time. Of the latest games, I'd rate Far Cry a notch higher, Doom3 lower. I had more fun playing FC. As someone else here said, the levels are just so huge and interactive in FC, everything within site is playable and explorable. The vehicles in FC were better too, I'd say.
HL2 was an awesome game, and Ill probably replay it again in a week or so. I'd give it an 8.5/10.
