In terms of objective quality, this mod is fairly poor. The level design is neither visually appealing nor fun to play through, the animations are very stiff and rudimentary, the new assets do not look very good - overall, the game is mediocre at best, and that's a generous estimate. In terms of entertainment value, however - I had a lot of fun with this mod. The AI is rock solid stupid, worse than vanilla Half-Life, and it is very funny to throw down a bunch of snakes with your snake wand and watch the enemies completely disregard you as they attack the snakes, even when you attack them. The ironic entertainment value is definitely there, but if you want a competent Half-Life mod this probably isn't what you're looking for.
