9.5 Presentation
Subtle, minimalist HUD, menus, and interfaces. It's all about believability, and Valve does it better than anyone.
9.0 Graphics
Excellent for the Xbox. This isn't high-end, high-resolution PC imagery, but the graphics are nonetheless damn good.
9.5 Sound
Great voice acting plus superb music equals top-notch sound all around.
10 Gameplay
A huge variety of missions, experiences, and suprises will have you riveted all the way to the end.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
A 16- to 18-hour single-player game with tons of little things that are worth going back and finding. The G-Man awaits your search.

9.4 Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
 
It seems to me whether this port is a good purchase or not is entirely dependent opon whether or not you have a decent gaming pc. If you do have one there's not really any incentive to buy the Xbox port. A good buy for those without decent PCs though.
