Very haunting apocalyptic feel, graphics are very good, gameplay is amazing, sound is noting short of breathtaking.

User Rating: 9.6 | Half-Life 2 PC
Ok I wanted to complete the game before I reviewed it and I must say I am glad I did. Halflife 2 is one of those games that has to be played. I won't say to much about plot and in game action, but the game is loaded with both. The game to me has a very haunting apocalyptic feel, it almost feel like you are playing a game version of Day of the Triffids, The Tripods or Dawn of the Dead. The graphics are very good but in all fairness don't leave you jaw hitting the floor as Farcry and Doom 3 are just as good, if HL2 was released in September 03 then it would have been a different story. The Gameplay is amazing this game has driving, puzzles, shooting, squad based combat the list is endless. But there are a few gimmicky parts that Valve have put in almost showing off the physics of the game that was not needed. The sound is noting short of breathtaking, the voice acting is spot on the sounds are colourful and the music is haunting. The value aspect to me is the best. This game can be replied many times as the physics of the game makes it slightly different when you play. Plus if you got it from Steam you have the whole Valve back catalogue with it. And soon there will be lots of mods for it making the game even more value. In short one of the best games ever!!!!
