Better than Episode One, a very enjoyable experience and makes you see the story through and crave for more

User Rating: 9 | Half-Life 2: Episode Two PC

I finished Episode Two with a craving for more. It gave me the same thrills that I experienced in the original Half-Life 2, and it definitely gave me more play time. I finished the game on hard which took me approximately 8 hours to finish which is a good value looking at thrills, the experience, story development, the variety in play. The game brings a mixture of low intensity and high intensity game play.

As of this release Valve has also started incorporating Achievements, something that's already known to XBOX 360 players. This adds a little flavor to the whole thing and allows for some replay if you're so inclined. Although some of the achievements are gotten simply by finishing the game, others require some serious effort. The "Little Rocket Man" achievement actually requires you to lug a garden gnome you find almost at the beginning of the game all the way to the end. Check the net on how hard that actually is.

I recommend this game to everyone that's played and enjoyed HL2 and Episode One. It might be confusing for people new to the Half-Life universe, but then again I'd advise anyone playing PC games to have played HL2 and it's sequels.
