Another well constructed and funny entry in the continuing adventures of the morose monologuing Freeman. Still suffering from knockout induced amnesia, Freeman is gradually regaining a sense of what he has been through: "Shooting things feels VERY familiar, and I didn't even have that dream where I was Snoop Dogg..." What he hasn't lost is his tendancy to wander, both physically and mentally. One of the best things about the series is how it deals with gameplay constraints and very unconventional level design in a deadpan way, and this area with its spinning acid bath obstacles and lots of locked doors gives Scott plenty to riff on.
