Gameplay
Half Life is a single player FPS (first-person shooter) that allows you to journey through a futuristic world. You will battle many enemies, drive many vehicles, and of course be going through an interesting story. It feels like you’re really in the game, trying to save mankind from a man trying to have the earth controlled by machines.Graphics and Audio
Graphics will vary greatly. On most average computers they’ll be fairly good. You’ll be amazed how realistic everything is. The audio is also great. With the occasional bit of music, realistic explosion effects, and other miscellaneous bits of sound, it all feels very real.Special Feature
An interesting, and important, part about Half Life 2 is the physics system. The ground on some areas will be littered with cans and other trash, which can be fired around. There will be many places where the physics system will be needed. For example at one place you are controlling a huge crane that has a magnetic gripper. There are soldiers on the ground, way below you, trying to get a shot at you. You should pick up the large metal containers nearby and silence them.Bottom Line
Half Life 2 is a relatively cheap game worth getting. The story is absorbing, the game is fun, and the physics are realistic. Half Life 2 has been said to be the best adventure game as of now.
