Half-Life 2 is by far the best game of 2004!!!
User Rating: 10 | Half-Life 2 PC
I finally finished the game, and it was an amazing roller coaster ride. I was a bit disappointed at the end, as the game leaves you asking yourself, "What's next?" I guess we can expect many more sequels in the future. I just hope that it doesn't take 5 years for the next one! This game has to be the best FPS I have ever played, with no exceptions. I enjoyed every aspect of it, and now I want to play Half-Life 3, but there is no Half-Life 3 yet! hahaha Oh well... Anyway, this game is worth every cent. The graphics and sound and animations were spectacular. This is one game that is tough to stop playing once you get into it. I ran it on a P4 3.2 Ghz Alienware with an ATI Radeon 9800XT graphics card with 2GB DDR memory, with a 320GB RAID 0 Array Hard drive setup, and an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Sound setup with Creative's 7.1 speaker setup. The game looked, played, and sounded awesome! The frame rate was absolutely smooth with no hesitation, and I had no problems with the games performance at all. Valve did a remarkable job with this game, and I have no doubt this game will be the PC Game of the Year as the best FPS of 2004! Great job Valve!
