To be completely honest I've never played the original Half Life. So my understanding on the storyline is minimal, but I grasped it as I went through the game. First thing that hits anyone when they play the game, is the brilliance of the graphics. They are probably some of the most stunning, and realistic graphics in any game, and add such a depth and bring in more reality then ever before. Then you factor in the sound, and it becomes even more itense, realistic and action packed. The horrifying sound of the faster zombie, when you first view it in Ravenholm, truly rattled my cage. It's a blood-curling scream, and one of many sounds that make the game so brilliant. The gameplay is like any other FPS, the storyline, the levels, the enemies and allies make this one of the top games, and one that everybody with a good-enough PC should own. And for the multi-player side of things, you can't get any better than Counter Strike: Source. A brilliant mod to top this game off.
