Great Add-On, A lot better than episode one Xbox 360 Review
User Rating: 9 | Half-Life 2: Episode Two PC
Half Life 2: Episode 2 is a great add on to Half Life that is much better than episode one. In epsiode one, you spent half of the game running around with no really intense shootouts or things like that, but in Episode 2 you get right into the action with tons and tons and tons of antlions and zombies that are out to kill you. It is a great add on to the story but leaves you with a rather large cliff hanger that definately leads into episode 3, you'll see what i mean after you beat the game. There are once again no new weapons. There is kind of one but you dont really keep it in your inventory (i dont want to give away anything). Overall, episode 2 is a must have if you are into the half life series and want to continue the story.
