SCENARIO

In "Get a Life" you embody Alexander Zemlinsky, a subway technician suffering from leukaemia.
Alex is not, unlike the protagonists in most games, an invincible super-soldier. But you wouldn't call him normal either, because there is something in his past that connects him with the events that are about to happen in the course of the story (we want to keep the suspense, so nothing more on that...). "Get a Life" will feature different environment settings presented in more than 24 maps, all of them connected to the scenario of the mod. GaL will offer about 11 hours of pure gameplay pleasure.

FEATURES

  • GaL will run on the latest version of the Source Engine, so that means you'll see HDR and the enhanced shadow system (as seen in HL2: Episode 1) in "Get a Life" as well
  • To give the player the best gaming experience possible, GaL will offer a custom HUD, an innovative healing system with several damage zones, drugs that will trigger a "bullet-time" effect, upgradeable weapons and enhanced enemy AI
  • About 11 hours of gameplay
  • 24 maps with varied environments
  • 61 characters
  • 13 weapons

For more information visit the official "Get a Life" website and the french/english forums.

Hi everyone !

You were a lot to download Get A Life, and we hope you enjoyed it.

But
some people complains about the difficulty of the mod and some bugs.
Even if the beta-tests helps to reduce the number of bugs, when a mod
is released there are often surprises, and GAL was no exception to the
rule.

We thought about it, and today we' re releasing patch that brings two modifications :

-For those who finds the mod to hard, they can totally desactivate the bleeding system by a simple manipulation. Clic here to see the illustration
-Correction of script bugs, abnormal deaths, bleeding or abnormal vision during the
first chapter and correction of certain bugs during the second chapter

Also
some people suffer from crashes that we cannot solve, this problems
happens in lots of mods currently. It is because of the Source SDK base
from the new steam version (we advise you to disable it) or from the
soundcache.

For those who have the new version of steam, while we are waiting for a patch, use these tips to play :
-Launch the mod
-In the graphic options, choose "windowed mod"
-Launch the first map
-When the map's loaded, choose "full screen mod" in your graphid options menu.

Good mod! But...

you got the flashlight so you can see, you got the gun so you can shoot. Seeing ain't much good if you can't shoot and shooting ain't much good if you can't see. Kind of a pain in the @$$.

I think he got the concept from Doom 3, becuase in Doom 3 you have a flashlight and an arsenal of kickass weapons, but you can't use both at the same time, just increases suspense.

A review that will take a while to be buried:

Tired of waiting for a good zombie/resident-evil themed videogame?(I'm talking to you Biohazard X) Then this mod is definitely for you! Before I became an avid mod player(soon mod developer), I was only aware of two really good mods, Minerva and Get a Life. Don't expect me to compare Get a Life with Minerva, because Get a Life certainly lacked in areas that Minerva was strong. But this mod is absolutely fantastic, it successfully gives you a feeling of immersion, that you are right in the middle of a zombie apocalypse rather than playing a Half-life 2 in your sweltering bedroom. Sure there were some bugs, but nothing that couldn't be resolved with a simple reset of the game. There's also a horror aspect that this mod successfully delivers, with many scares that left me rigid in my seat. Coupled with excellent and unique mapping, I absolutely loved this game.
But I'm afraid that the story lacked just a little bit, no, the story died promptly towards the end. I won't reveal any spoilers, but there were many things that just doesn't explain why the end culminated in that final battle. There was also the drop in fps in big battles, even though I dropped the settings of the game to the point where I can't read the letters on the walls.

Pros: Mapping, Sound, Skins, Weapons
Cons: Low FPS, Meh Story, hard beyond hard difficulty(recommend medium difficulty)

Score: 8.5/10

It's SUCH a shame. This game had me actually grpping my seat at the beginning, where those men limped towards you in that dark, shaking room. I was terrified. The game feels so polished and well-made and I'd love to play it through.

Unfortunately, it's GLITCHED BEYOND FUCK. Just everything is broken. Weird trigger boxes lying around, random deaths, can't enter the snowy place, custscenes broken. I'm so unbelievably sad, as this game looks and plays pure gold. Oh well...
