An amazing follow-up and great game in all aspects.

The highly anticipated sequal to, in my opinion, one of the best games in existance. Its graphics have set it apart from the other FPS's and its beautifully styled gameplay has created an immersive experience like no other. The entire game runs like a movie with the arrival on the subway at the beginning and explosion of the portal at the end, but a great game like this is not without errors. Once again you assume the roll of Gordon Freeman, doctor and..........lets say humanitarian. You arrive to help a secret resistance overthrow the evil Combine's marshal law over City 17. This leads him through countless battles with Combine soldiers, Headcrabs, Antlions and other enemies that block your way as well as great puzzles and challenges that keep you guessing. With the help of others Freeman must come to battle the Combine and unravel its secrets. The game is visually stunning. Valve has created an amazing graphics system that has turned this game into nothing short of a revolution in first person shooters. I quite enjoyed myself with this game (sawing headcrab people in half was fun for a while) but I felt something missing near the end. It came to an abrupt halt and I was left wanting more. Aswell I felt it had a lack of background music. The sound effects were great but it would be great running away to some chase music. Overall my experiences with this game aswell as Counter Strike: Source are enough to recomend this game to anyone.
