Half-wack!

User Rating: 8.6 | Half-Life 2 PC
Just finished this game, not too long, not too short. I kept the same score...nothing has changed my mind, I like this game alot, I don't like the annoying loads all through out the game though: it's like halflife all over again. The "studder" issue was a minor issue, happened here and there, did not stop me or interfere with progress. I didn't care for the detection with ladders and debris on the ground; also doorways. Sometimes the graphics were amazing, an other times, 1998 like." I run the game at max settings." If it weren't for steam, sound bugs, and most of all, the annoying loads that took anywhere from 11 seconds to 45+ seconds to take me constantly out of the game: at times they happen during great action sequencing, taking away the thrill...leaving me thinking about FARCRY. This game isn't a far-cry from FARCRY, but I still have to give far-cry it's propz. For someone who prefers the Sci-Fi theme too, it shows you what I think of FAR-CRY. I think Halflife2 was near perfection....but with the handicaps it has"steam,loads,soundbugz,bugz,detection,ai" I could not see it for what it wasn't. A great game indeed....but not solid.
