One of the reasons i got this game is because i heard that you get to battle these zombies and the other reason is because my friend told me it was good. I played the game, beat it, and now i think Wow! What a great story. The story is perfect. The bad thing is i didn't play the first one. You see, i don't get PC games and i got Half Life 2 because it is on XBOX. There are a few slight pauses in the game which annoyed me.

It got zombies jumping from nowhere on to you including little creatures that suck on your head and decrease your health down to 1. Well although, it wasn't good as the Halo trilogy, it was still pretty good. It is really long though. It has 14 chapters which take about a couple of hours to beat.
