Totally original game!
User Rating: 9.3 | Half-Life 2 PC
Ok so i though my PC would get demolished trying to play half-life 2 however it turned out that it does it very nicely on High detail! Half-life 2 is one of the hardest games ever to review because the story is great and the feel is perfect however there are too many annoying little "puzzles" several times each level that are just NOT FUN. They have been made to show off the "physics engine" its very obvious the physics are great! The story is also pretty weak and hard to understand. The other issue is that some parts of this game for e.g route kanal and highway 17 really lack action and make me think twice before playing this game they have really long walking/driving parts and it can be a really long time before you meet several combine. However this game has a few levels that have tons and i mean tons of action for e.g the ravenholm level and nova prospekt.
However this game still delivers with unique ideas, original and fun weapons (gravity gun, crossbow e.t.c), great graphics and gameplay, a perfect feel as in this game you actually feel you are in a war and you are a hero but not a one man army. The enemies in this game are imaginative (except perhaps the combine who look like they might have came from a sci-fi movie), the graphics really suit this game the art design and graphics fit together really well and well what can i say great game but still multiplayer is an issue as its isnt that great but oh well at least there is CS:S with it. Overall great game and a must buy. My pc is lame but can still play this game at 50 or so frames on high detail so give it a go i reckon your PC could play it decently too!
