WHY DOES GAMESPOT SAY SUCH BLASFEMY????? The sounds are incredible, most likely the best i've seen in first person shooters yet. They are all accurate. The only problem might be that the sounds may come after a second or two, but that is most likely because your computer is too slow. The Gameplay is what makes this game so good. The puzzles add a twist to the average run and gun shooter, such as Halo 2, (which has sound, graphical, and gameplay errors) and the shooting parts of the game are as good or better than halo 2 (most likeley better because its not the same thing over and over again) The Graphics are incredible. Enough said. Value, this game has probably about 40-60 hours of great gameplay, 70-90 hours if you explore alot, and 30 hours if you try and beat it as fast as you can. Lets not forget about the Multiplayer Counter-Strike Source, which adds infinate hours to your pocket for only $50 AND for an extra $5 you get Half-life: Source (which is kind of a dissappointment, but still worth to look at for a few seconds) AND Day of Defeat: Source (which was second only to counter-strike last year) Tilt, this game is awsome enough said. My conclusion? Gamespot was payed by microsoft to review halo 2 better than half-life 2. Why? because this game CLEARLY illistrates what gaming is all about. Its all about fusion of alot of things to make up a great game. Yes, Halo 2 was a great game, but still HL2 can beat it any day in the week. -k0n1g999
