the prequel to half-life 2 (half-life) brings you into a world of disaster, and makes the crumbling planet around you feel like a reality. the story in both games pushes the limits on the FPS genre, because of its interpretive storyline.

in terms of graphics, it was good. however, there is lack of character diversity throughout the game, which makes almost every secondary character seem identical to one-another.

the sound effects throughout the game were almost the same as the original half-life. nothing really stood out, but it was good.

just a miscellaneous thought: i was kind of annoyed to find out that friendly fires are not allowed. i know this must sound really stupid, but i miss the old game where you could kill a scientist or a guard.
