It is worth a hardware upgrade, but if you must go the console route, do so. The game is way too good to pass up. Think the action style of Max Payne with the intensity and physics of HL2, with the "AHHHHHHHH" scares of Doom 3, all together with a coherent, involving, DEEP plot.
And probably the greatest game ending ever. I'm not kidding, i cant express enough how "HOLY SHIT" scary it was.
The weapons and enemy balance is very good. The AI is brillianbt. i have never seen anything close, even the combine soldiers in HL2 werent that smart. The slow mo is a major tool in the game, and explosions in slow mo are probably the coolest visual effect i have ever seen in a game.
Paxton Fettel is an awesome villain. Much much more interesting than most video game bad guys. And trust me, it will take you no time at all to get past the visual similarities between Alma and Samara.
Some tips: Reaqd all laptops or computers that have email, and listen to all voicemails. the plot is great, but you have to pay attention.
The game also plays some great creep out tricks with the atmosphere that havent really been done before. i wont go into it, i dont want to ruin anything.
