Just as good as HL1

User Rating: 9.6 | Half-Life 2 PC
Wake up, HL2 fans, Wake up and start playing. HL2 finally hit shelves today and was unlocked through steam. HL2 has you once again playing the lead role of Gordon Freeman, the game starts with you arriving at city 17 by train with 2 other passangers, by the time you've step out of the train you see the valves source engine at its finest, HL2 visuals are some of the most jaw dropping todate. The sound effects and voice acting are also very well done, even though gordon doesn't talk himself you get the feeling that the characters are talking to you. Theres been alot of talk about, the story being dissapointing. Well its not the case, HL2 story is as good if not better then the original, the cliff hanger at the end makes you wanna come back for more and wish that valve would release HL3 sooner. There are upset though, the ending is extremely easy, and multiplayer, yes CS:S even tho DOD:S will soon be coming out valve should have atleast packed in a DM.

in the end HL2 is a great game and any FPS fan or fan of the series should pick it up.
