“I think that TG has to be one of the most unique, and original HL mod (even apart from being a mod) game yet. The demo was simply amazing. The sounds were top notch, ultra realistic, the graphics were crisp, and the gameplay really rocks! It reminded me when I use to play Tomb Raider, or Indiana Jones late at night - to get the creepy feeling. And the music is really awesome! Guys, I have to hand it to you, you're all doing a very great job! ” - By Rifler @ Mod DB

‘It makes you feel as if you are in a movie'
Migandi.com Review 2005 FINAL SCORE - 90 % The Gate is an epic mod that brings all the grand feelings of a blockbuster movie, loosly based on the Stargate film, the Gate brings that other worldly feel in a story that makes you feel anything could happen. Right from the off we are treated to some of the best cut scenes i have ever seen in any Half-Life mod or even the hallowed game itself, Craig Beatie really knows how to lay out some cool scripted sequences that leave you dripping with saliva eager to get into the game itself, the whole intro must take ten minutes and weaves a very intricate story from the off. It seems you are a retired all action hero for the U.S government who has been called up one last time to serve your country, as we follow the in game movie we find out that this gate was found during the war by the Nazi's, well actually three gates and that a crack team of US Marines were sent in but never came back, so now its up to you to go back to 1940 and save the future from the spread of Nazism, this is told to you by the General who is dressed in a rather fetching outfit!. Onward into the action, once through the gate you are greeted by some fantastic level design that is very cool in its appearance, resembling a Egyptian pyramid, the atmosphere in the levels is very well done with ambient sounds that really add to the onset of dread. I must say this is one of the hardest mods i have ever played and just making it through the first levels is a challenge in itself, the level design is very well done and you always want to see whats around the next corner, lots of areas in the maps have a wow! factor, once you meet your first German soldier its a well handled sequence that is very surprising in its tenseness, all through this mod you feel you are part of some grandiose film and this makes the mod something special, and sets it apart from all other half life mods i have ever played. A lot of single player mods set you in the Half-Life world but i feel the best ones are the mods that create there own world for you to play in, mods like They Hunger have always been my favorite and i even prefer They Hunger to normal half life, but the Gate takes us to fantastic places with a superb backdrop to play in, Stargate was one of my fave films and this mod really does bring something of the film to it, its bold and reaches out for your mind and immerses you in something more than just a fps shooter add on. And what really sets this mod apart is its ambitious voice acting, yeah some of the recording is a bit rough in places, but hearing the German voices with subtitles (for us English thickheads) gives the whole mod a great feel of realism, all the models look great as well and have a great quality to them, which makes the player believe in the story more than any mod that has come before. Music in the Gate is by Jon Williams and is fully cinematic in its quality, with an incorporated mp3 system the music coupled with the cut scene movies makes you want to be in the game and never leave, in fact some of the houses in the game are so nice i thought i might move in and stay a while. Its hard! did i say that already?, the action that you fight through is very tense and i always felt like i could do with more health and ammo so progress through this mod has to be taken a bit like real life, in other words try not to get shot as you do bleed bad in the Gate, some of the fight scenes are really neat, and my favorite part was the stealth section where you have to make it across the Nazi yard amid the trucks and through the sentry posts without being detected,each time you are discovered brings memories of those great war movies like great escape where one false move brings on the sirens and the Nazi Stormtoopers to your imminent doom. This part was totally original and brilliantly executed, leaving you out of breath by the time you finally find the right route to safety, actually breathing a sigh of relief as i made it into the compound. Graphically The Gate is second to none, and don't think of playing this mod in software mode as it will just run like pants, all poly restrictions were thrown out the window by the design team, and the old half life engine is given new life with your 3dfx card that can handle the higher polygons on screen, all this means is that the Gate has one of the highest detail in any mod i have seen, and no corner is left to bland dullness as the leveldesigner packs a real punch with lots of cool architecture. The guns in the Gate are realistic to the second world war and they seem to fire like the era as well, with German grenades looking cool as you chuck them back at the Nazi's whence they cam, all the usual fare is there along with sniper rifles and shotguns and all. To sum up, the Gate is a superb free game to download and i can't recommend it enough, its mature in its approach and superb in its presentation, but also deadly in its gameplay. Its one for the adventurous and requires nerves of steal and a iron resolve to finish, but once finished you will truly feel like you have been on a wondrous journey that is all credit to the team that made it. Three cheers to mod makers.....hip hip! 90%
