This is one of the best games I ever played. It will be one of the best games you'll ever play. It's easy to follow the story and has almost every type of game.(puzzle, action, sci-fi, and, dahhhhhhhhhh, shooter)

This game won more game of the year awards than I can count, and for good reason too; the game is great. It is a truly inept first person experience due to the unique characters and their detailed facial expressions, the suspenseful,scary, and intense action, the atmosphere that makes you feel exactly like the folks at Valve wanted-everything has polish, and detail . There isn't anything mind blowingly innovating about the game, but everything it sets out to do is done fantastically. I was very captivated by the story, and loved the physics. I came for the FPSness, and stayed for one of the best PC games I've ever played.

with constant suspense, shockers, and just plain scary moments, it made me jump out of my chair at least twenty times. although it has a relatively small range of weapons, it finds a multitude of ways to utilize the individual aspects of each one. although slightly shorthanded by the scarcity of boss fights, it was an overall great game.

I might get totally flamed for this, but I don't really like Half-Life 2. You sometimes grab and drop items to make staircases and footstools, right? So why is it so hard for me to make the f&##'in barrel stand up?! Stupid physics. Why can't they make an option to flip the objects you carry like in Halo 3's Forge? It's also pretty annoying hearing Breen rant on and on about something that I can't even figure out. On the bright side, the Gravity Gun (which I only used in Ep. 1 and 2) is fun to use. Plus, you can swing at your ammo and health and it flies. They should do that more often. Half-Life 2 gets 3 crowbars out of 5.

I was disappointed. While many people will disagree with me i lost interest to continue on quickly. The combine seemed incredibly unoriginal, were way too easy, and many of the characters and areas seemed tacked on, especially ravenholme and the vehicle segments. 3/5

Half-Life 2 is the best game ever. No questions asked. This game has everything that you could think of. A gravity gun that allows you to pick up objects and shoot them far away. Seriously, this is the best game ever. No other game will ever come close to being as good as this game. Overall, words cannot being to describe how good this game is. You are truely a n00b if you have never played a Half-Life game. This is the best game avilible, so this is the game that should buy your next purchase if you do not already own it.

This is an awesome sequel to one of the best games ever. the puzzles are superb, the weapons are amazing, and the level design and storyline are deep and make you think. if you have to pick a FPS for your PC, this has got to be on the top of your list.

Gordon Freeman is back and G-man has assigned him to a new task. The combine has taken control of the world and Freeman awakens himself to be a slave within the combine facility. Can Gordon find a way out and lead a resistance to stop the combine? Story- 5.0 Outstanding story. Gordon must find a way back to the resistance and lead a revolution against the combine and the oh so mysterious G-man is back. Who is he? What is he? Is he a higher being or an alien? Why is he helping me? Do these question get answered? Pick up this game to find out. Gameplay 5.0 Fantastic gameplay. Very fluid, and the environment around you can help you in way out of a jam. The gravity gun is nothing short of the best weapon you have. With combine A.I. decent, it presents more enemies with zombies, headcrabs, and helicopters after you. The story told with the game is true within the nature that is Half-Life. Graphics 5.0 Amazing graphics from Valve. Movable object, destruction, blowing up, the physics engine provide lots of fun. Overall 5.0 Another great installment to the Half-Life series. A definent game to get. Looking for a great FPS, Half-Live 2 won't dissappoint. Plus could Alyx have a thing for Gordon....? Get this game to find out.

yup i give it a 5 out of 5 hands down...very beautifull game..it forces the gamer to use his head too..not just shootem up shootem up all day...like halo... i love this game... the story is also good...im about to go play half life 2 episode 1...its going to be epic

Dont listen to Arbiter. I have both the PC verson and the Xbox version. The only difference, beisdes the graphics obviously, is the PC version is alot slower. The Xbox version verson runs smoother and its controls are better. Either way you'll love the game but I would get it on both if u can. But beat it first on the Xbox and then try the PC one. It will seem like a new game and I guarantee you will wanna play it through again but with jawdropping graphics and realism on the PC.
