A great sequel...
To start of the story is very solid and you feel the same freedom as you felt in the original game.The original Half Life is still considered to be one of the best games of all time.Half Life 2 isn't that far but it lives up to it's name.
Even if you may still find it odd that Gordon still doesn't talk throughout the whole game but even without his voice the voice acting in the game is very solid and the character animation and the expressions on the characters faces is quite astonishing.
The gameplay remains sort of the same.All the Half Life fans will feel very familiar to the controls even if they are a little different,but not much.
The graphics look good for the year 2004,even if they are not the most amazing but they do seem to fit the game.Everything looks as you expected from a second Half Life.
This game is a must have for all who played the original game.For the rest it's a pretty good game and you will get about 15 hours out of it,maybe even more.
My Score 9.2
