A solid successor to one of the most revolutionary games ever made.
Well, strange introduction aside, you should go buy this game. If your computer sucks go buy it for the Xbox or get the Orange Box for the 360 and I think it's on the PS3, too.
Well, I should actually review this. Basically this game follows an unknown number of years after the first, some aliens came, bad stuff started going down, you find yourself on a train going "WTF is this?" and then the cops come after you so you have to start killing things.
The good stuff: Great graphics, of course by now the graphics are getting passed up, but they are still very realistic and great, the sound is great, it's scary, funny, intense, suspenseful, anything you can imagine. There's a wide variety of enemies, an interesting story if you pay attention, realistic enviornments, good characters, and good first-person feel to it. For the whole fifteen-twenty hours you play this you never leave the first person, people look at you and talk to you, you drive a car and operate turrets in first person, it's pretty cool.
The bad stuff: It's kind of laggy sometimes and there's like 30 load screens. Also the ending is a little weak, but with two new episodes released who cares, go buy them after you buy this okay, thanks for reading God bless, goodnight, don't do drugs, stay in school, etc.
