Garry's Mod Review

IF YOU LOVE BEING CREATIVE YOU MUST READ THIS POST!

Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox game where you can create almost ANYTHING. In single player , there is no goal to achieve in the game. The goal is left up to you. You are supplied with an arsenal of weapons, npc's, tools, and objects in order to build, fight, or do anything you want. However, in multi player, there can be goals. There are several different game modes for multi player: Sandbox, Jailbreak/Gjail, Trouble in Terrorist Town, Roleplay, Flood Mod, Zombie Survival, and More!

Sandbox: Just like single player, except surrounded with other players

Jailbreak/Gjail: In this game mode you play as either a prisoner or guard. One of the guards, the warden, gives orders to the prisoners. The guards have to enforce the orders. If the rebels do not follow orders or try to rebel, the guards kill the prisoners.

Trouble in Terrorist Town: I know the title is weird :) but it is a fun game. In this game mode, traitors try to kill innocent terrorists (oxymoron lol) while the innocents, aided with the detective, try to find who the traitors are and kill them. It is a fun game mode.

Roleplay:  One of the most fun game modes! In this game mode, you choose a job and play as that role. For example, is you play as a gun dealer you have to sell guns. If you play as a gangster you follow the mob boss and mug people. If you play as the cop, you enforce the mayor's laws. 

Flood Mod: In this game mode, you have a few minutes to build something that will float, with limited supplies though. (You can earn more later in the round) After the build phase is over, you hop onto your contraption/boat and the whole map is flooded with dangerous water (As in if you get into the water you lost health). While the map is flooded, the different teams try to destroy each others' boats with the weapons that they have. The last person alive wins the round and wins some money with which to buy supplies and weapons.

Zombie Survival: The objective of this game mode is pretty simple. If you have played Zombie Panic Source, then you know what this is like. In this game mode, you play as either a zombie or a human/survivor. The zombies have to kill the humans. When a human is killed, he joins the zombies. The round ends when all zombies are killed or all humans are zombified/killed. Humans are armed with guns, zombies are not. Also humans have the ability to make barricades and things like that in order to ensure the survival.

So there you are, the best game modes described for you up there. If you plan on getting this game make sure you are familiar with these game modes before playing them because it is not fun being a noob while playing these.

CONS:  (Yes, they are inevitable)
  • Garry's Mod will only work if you have a source engine game on the computer you wish to install it on. This is because Garry's Mod is a modification of the source engine, made by Valve. 
  • In order to have the best experience in multi player, you will need to either have Counterstrike: Source and Half Life 2 (both source engine games) or you will need to go to garrysmod.org in order to download (for free) the files for textures and models that do not come with the game and are needed to have a smooth multi player experience. This is an important thing to remember!

BUT DONT WORRY, BECAUSE THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU!

I can get you the Source Engine game you need for free! And it is 100% Legal and safe. I have tried it myself. Instructions are in my youtube video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGwP1qklxqk
