Pros:

*Beautiful Graphics Engine
*Solid Gameplay
*Fun Weapons
*Cool Story/Setting
*Believable Characters
*Low System Requirements
*Engaging Audio
*Excellent Voice Acting
*A few cool scripted events

Cons:

*Linear Progression
*Not as Revolutionary as First Half Life
*Gunfights could be more challenging
*Ending Sequence is a bit out of place (Last 20 minutes)


A great game that old Half Life fans and even newcomers should try out. It doesnt revolutionize the genre as we all had hoped but it does make small baby steps in the right direction.

My biggest complaint is that it doesnt really break any new ground. Valve is by far one of the best, if not the best at story telling and they are able to convey the story in such a way that you are never confused about whats going on.


Hardware/Software- Im running this game off a $25 video card on full settings. AN ATI 4350 if your wondering.
