Let's just say all computer geeks and gamers rejoice. One of the most technological enchanced game with great story has just come out. But did it live up to the hype after a 1 year delay? Gameplay: The gameplay is great in this game. There is nothing absolutely creative. The gameplay involves what most FPS are, shooting. Then there is the puzzle factor that you utilize with finding a switch or using physics. Half-Life 2 sports the Source Engine which is one of the best, if not the best, engine currently out. Graphics: Stunning. Some outdoor visuals look almost life-like. The world is full of lucious graphics. The reflections, water, shaders and lighting is just amazing. Not to mention the normal mapping which makes textures look amazing. And the facial expressions is also amazing for the characters, almost like they were real. The graphics is one of the biggest parts of the game. Sound: The guns sound amazing and any other enviromental sound effects are just great. Not to mention the voice acting. It seems Valve used professional actors to speak for their characters. The music is also great for the type of game it is. Value: The game has its highs and lows through the campaign. Thats why Valve lets you play certain parts of the game which you find the best. Some levels you'll beat and never look back to them, but some you will just want to play over and over agian. Sometimes to just drool over the graphics or fool around with the physics. Or of course, how fun all of it is! Reviewer's Tilt: After 6 years in production, was it worth the wait and $50+? Yes. The game is near one of the best I ever played, was it revolutionary? No. But it is a great game. Version Tested: Half-Life 2 Silver (STEAM)
