Well the graphics are superb. One of the best features is that it works very good even in the onboard graphic chipset (n-vidia offcourse) based motherboards. You dont have to invest money in buying an high end graphic card. I liked the game .... from graphics to dynamics to sound. the bullet firing , the back ground sound is just so awesome but episode 2 is not as interesting as half life 2. I have just started playing it but now I want to see light n the open sky. Most of the game is made inside the caves n basements . I am fed up fighting zombies. I like to fight with men...lol . the environment is pretty cool.... the water effect is like no other....it seems real. it seems no key frame animation is used ... it is all physics... really cool.... they have improved the shaders n texture quality and very good morphing can be seen in d game. about the lighting.... new revolutionary lighting.... but at sum places it burns too much......and overall a very good game ... but......... no more zombies plzz.... at last i wud say.... its little disappointing after playing half lafe 2.
