good if you have not played Far Cry - keyword: LINEAR!!!
When I played it for the first time, I was amazed. There are a lot of cool things in the game, all mentioned already in other reviews.

But then, a few hours into the game, you begin to realize that it is painfully linear!!! You are like... more

Lots of fun and Steam wasn't so bad
I received this as a Xmas gift, and waited a couple of months to install it, partly because I was in the middle of another game (and I don't like playing more than one game at a time) and partly because I was dreading the infamous Steam installation. more

awsom game but i hate steam!
This game is the best first person shotter ever! The graphics are amazing and game play is simple. you can hold as many guns at a time you want, not like others were you have to swap. The only down side is that you have to download a program called... more

Caveat Emptor
The box for Half Life 2 fails to mention that a Steam account is required to play the game. So open the box, install the game. Ok, now you've opened the game and you discover you must have the Steam account. What is the problem with that? Simple: to get... more

Wanta play a GREAT game on a rickety, three-legged table?
It is a great, great game, certainly the best I've ever played. Read all the glowing reviews -- and they get it right, telling how involving and exciting gameplay is, how beautiful the settings are, how neat the physics are, and even the AI is pretty... more

great great great great game
this is not a game as much as it is an experiance. You get sucked into this world, and its great world. Its one of the best worlds ever made in an action. I say action game because they are usually less story oriented and so the world isn't to great.... more

Returned Item
I never have had such a hard time with a game before. The online game system, somehow managed to change the settings that I set for it to not automatically update. Each time it tried an automatic update it failed around 88%. This of course caused me to... more

Game of the Year 2004
This is undoubtedly the finest game of 2004, and certainly one of the top 5 of all time. Everything is just so... perfect.

From the driving storyline (not corny or overdone like other games) to the actual gameplay to the sound and graphics,... more

it sucked
they gave me the wrong disk i asked for the cd-rom they gave someelse i should get a free collector's edition half-life 2

Simply Superb
If you can manage to install it (it took HOURS of CD copying, decompression, update downloading etc), this game is a cracker. Steam is quite possibly the most contentious move ever made by a company, and I know of several people who have issues with it.... more

Best PC FPS of all time.
First of all, the game is beautiful. Envirorments are breathtaking, and in the scripted events, the characters look so real you want to reach out and touch them. There is a wide variety of gameplay styles involved. The physics are completely awsome, and... more

Great game although steam is F****** Bull S***
First of all I had not played hl1. I was very impresed with eveything the physics, graphics, gameplay, npc's, story. I thought the campaign was kinda short butt maybe that is because i played it for endless hours, when I was so sucked in that I forgot... more

Half-Life 2
Once again players assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist destined to save the Earth from hordes of gruesome alien attackers. Half-Life 2 takes computer games to a new level of realism with incredible in-game graphics that recreate familiar-looking... more

This should be a five star avg game
Story and gameplay are brilliant. This is one of the best games ever made.

The True Deal to Collector's Edition.
I noticed a similar reviewer shared the same opinions that I have.

THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION JUST SIMPLY BELONGS IN THE GARBAGE CAN.

You get:
1. A beat up, but a bigger and uselss Half-Life2 "collector's edition" box...... more

The best FPS ever? I think so
I am one of the few people who havent played the first half life. Stupid huh? Buy the second one before playin the first. I read a review for HL2 in PC gamer(they gave it a 98%)and that made me want to buy it. Now, I've played every FPS out there ok,... more

Close to perfection
This game grabs your attention from square one and doesn't let go. You'll spend some time just walking around the train station looking at stuff when you first start the game, amazed at how great everything looks. Of course, you'll also start seeing... more

Nasty
I haven't got round to playing this game.

Install #1: Install got to the 4th CD and gave me a 'fatal error' which meant I had no option but to start the install process again from CD1.

Install #2: Install got the end of CD3 and... more

A great physics engine does not a great game create
Just got this game and put in a couple hours last night.

Excellent graphics, excellent physics, smooth gameplay. I particularly liked the realism of the other people and the "body" physics they use -- no more dead zombies falling into walls... more
