When I completed this game I felt depressed. One, if not the, most amazing experiences of my life was over.
Without question this is one of the most epic games ever. I should be able to just say that it is one of the best games ever but I can't.
Graphics- Obviously graphics do not really matter when it comes to a great game but Half-life 2's will blow you away! This is the first game that I have ever felt truly immersed in. You will be Gordan Freeman when you play this game.
Sound- Another huge part of the Atmosphere. The most notable aspect of the sound is actually that you don't notice it. It is so perfect that it seems like real life.But the music is a different story. You definetly notice it. But it is as incredible as the other sounds.
Story- Wow. I just can't wait for Half-life 3. This franchise is shaping up to be one of the greatest stories of all time. This is an incredible story.
Gameplay- And now we get to what sinks or swims a game. This game has simply the best gameplay ever. How no one else has come up with the gravity gun before this is beyond me. But thats not the only thing that makes this game incredible. They are just to numerous to list.
To sum it all up. Go buy this game now. It has replaced Final Fantasy 3 as my favorite of all time. Now, if you will excuse me, I have some Striders to take down.
