HL2 surely does what it seeks, but is it too little to late?

It seems that we have been waiting for so long... and yes it finally came. If your not a proud owner of this game then let me tell you why this game is one of those great classics that a gamer must play. At the end of this review ill try to answer 3 questions...is this game good....was it worth the wait...did it live up to hl name, now lets continue with the review. You will start out in an urban/futuristic city and soon meet up with your old friends and yes that sweet old suit. After the into you’ll jump into the action and very quickly discover new weapons and new rides. Rides are one of the things the make this game so great, when you pilot the hovering boat you’ll fell like your in one of those James Bond movies. With that sad...I must present the 1st future that makes hl2 so great. It makes you fell like your in a movie, alot of other games tried this and for the most part failed.... yeh remember enter the matrix.... I know i rather not. Ok now lets talk about the weapons, there nothing really new or fresh except the gravity gun but still tons of fun and I doubt any fps shooters will find them dull(even if you played over and over half life 1 for the past 5 years). Yeh, you also shouldn’t forget the 2end feature that makes this game so great. Outdoor environments, all of them are spectacular and I found there style to be great(in follow freeman I found that it felt a bit like call of duty all over but it still all good). Another thing that you couldn’t find in the 1st hl was the great music... hl2 has a techno style mix music witch is really great to list too while shooting guys though it doesn’t distract you in any why from the game. The story was ok.... though I found that i makes you ask your self more questions then it actually answers witch is pritty disappointing but in the other why around makes you want to play hl3 even sooner. But the good news is that hl2 really gives you bits of story between the action unlike hl1 witch was a bit of story at 1st 25 hours of killing monsters and a bit of story at the end. And finely..... A lot of people say that half life 2 is good but it didn’t revolutionized games like hl1 did.... well in my opinion it did with its outstanding physical engine. The physics in half-life 2 are great and well implemented into the gameplay. So 1)Is this a good game? .. Yes, infact its really one of the best games on pc ever something i cant say about hl1, it sits on one of the top spots near games like mafia, no one lives forever 2 and so on. 2)Was it worth the wait? Its a personal question but for me no... And infact for vavle it didn’t too... while half life 2 has super graphics its still not the leader out there and i think if it came out in 2003 it would had a lot more respect from the fans. 3)Does hl2 live up to its predecessor... yes infact it delivers everything that hl1 was and a bit more So in the end i have 1 thing to say PLAY THIS GAME
