I loved the first 20 minutes. The atmosphere, the realistic oppressive setting, all the little graphical effects like dust floating in the air, Dr Breens speech on the monitors, the amazing facial animations, playing with the physics in the little playground. All things that I had never seen before. I guess HL2 suffers the curse that it has been copied so much that it's opening now feels standard fare.
It's coming up soon on my list, amazing glimpse into the future back in 2004. Resistance 3's campaign is practically a carbon copy of HL2's campaign structure.

My bad, I wasn't really specific enough. I think the start is great, what I hate is when you get to the sewers - the 20+ minutes in the sewers at the start of the game suck, so that probably makes it the last 30 minutes or so of the first hour.

I still liked the exploration and the realistic city setting (which was still quite refreshing at the time before CoD etc) but yes it was the slowest part of the game. And all those exploding barrels really weren't neccesary.
