Nothing less than a revolution in the gaming industry that will keep gamers busy for years to come, just as the original did.

An ephemeral and controversial ending, along with the few issues described above, means that for me, Half-Life 2, while a compelling and highly enjoyable game, falls short of the size of impact that the first title had on the gaming world.

A graphics overhaul delivers detailed facial animations and sophisticated physics that leave battle zones strewn with debris after intense shootouts with shuffling corpses, overfed curstaceans and other assorted foes. [October, p.37]

20 yıllık olan bir oyun ne kadar iyiyse o kadar iyi! Son zamanlarda hiç bu kadar keyif alarak oynadığım bir oyun olmamıştı. Eskiden Episode 1 ve 2'yi Half Life'ın 2. oyunun parçalara ayrılmış olarak bilir, Half Life 2 gibi bir oyun olduğunu bilmezdim. Şimdi oyunu oynayınca görüyorum ki ben çok şey kaçırmışım!

Just came here after playing Leon campaign in RE9, i just miss the era where games were so **** good.

In its most basic form, a perfect game story in every sense and storytelling environmental factors The depth of the dynamics of the characters is undoubtedly the best games.

No other game has ever lived up to six years of hype and then left gamers so glued to their PCs that 24 hours later.

It's solid and requires, thanks to the variety and great AI of the enemy you meet throughout, more than a modicum of strategic thinking to get through with a good selection of interesting weapons on offer.

Valve have once again managed to transform a genre, and taken pure gaming pleasure to brand new, unthought of heights. The sheer number of moments you'll be astounded by the graphical touches, by the storyline, by the sheer polished nature of the title, and even the incredible level design is quite astounding.

If you're looking for a game that sucks you right into the screen, this is it. This is your FPS benchmark, this is the game of the year; this game is the beautiful, imaginative, detailed masterpiece of 2004.

The attention to detail is simply staggering and I'm not referring just to City 17. The sky is beautiful, regardless of the time of day, a lot of the surfaces are bump-mapped and I often found myself using the zoom to see just how good the objects looked in the distance.

Half-Life 2 is not perfect. The bizarre decision to include teammates in the way that Valve has, as well as the many and annoying loading times can actually diminish some of the fun factor. That said, this is still a game you don't want to miss.

I think this is probably the worst teammate AI I've seen in an FPS since "Daikatana." It's like every one of your followers are the Redshirt sidekicks from "Star Munchkin."

Очередная игра с мега завышенными оценками. Прошел её на релизе в далекие времена и чуть не уснул от скуки. Просто стрелялка. Ни сюжета ни саундтрека ни геймплея. Если коротко унылая стрелялка. Все.
Summary[Metacritic's 2004 PC Game of the Year] By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of bot...
