Half-life 2 = ToTALLY worth your money !!!
To start out THE visuals are GREAT almost a perfect 10. and the game play is INNOVATive. This game never ever gets boring or loses its razor sharp edge though the whole game. There are always new challenges and new weapons to be collected which is one of the games best features. The game always keeps you guessing and wanting MORE MORE MORE. At times you will find that you had so much fun defeating a hovering scorpion like flying machine that u will go back to a previous save OVER and OVER just to play it again, YES ITS THAT GOOD. Right up to the end, the game keeps your attention and will have you up all night playing. The ending is well.....unexpected... and leaves you with the taste of 100 percent pure cocaine in your mouth, making you want to take the next plane down to Valve studios and making them make another level at gun point ; P
but to conclude this game is one of the best I have seen in a long time, always feels new, and has plenty of replay value. put that together with the TONS ANd i mean TONS of mods and MASSIVE half life 2 community there are always new great games to be downloaded such as counter-strike source, team fortress source, red orchestra source, and a CRAP load of others that i couldn't possible name.
Most of these can be gained through the Steam program that comes along with the game, and after you register you can throw the disk out the window if you want (though i suggest u dont) because you will have the ability to download the game , free of charge FOREVER. so dont worry about keeping the original game safe during a move or when getting a new computer, all you got to do is download steam and ur SET.
Run, walk, drive, or hold up the nearest store that holds half-life 2 DO WHAT U MUST, just get your hands on this game and play it ASAP !!!!
