With more intricate levels and a stronger story line than the Dooms of the world Half Life paved the way for many sequels. As well as setting a standard for which many FPS are compared. Graphically the game is very good and the frame... [ Read The Full Review... ]

I found Half-life to be an immersive game with an excellent storyline. The graphics were state of the art for when the game was released but feel dated compared to some of the newer games. Half-life has definitely raised the bar of FPS from where... [ Read The Full Review... ]

This game has redefined the FPS gaming genre as it moved away from mindless killing like the Doom series and moved into story based action. The plot is wel-meshed and the presentation comes off movie-style. You feel attached to your... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Half-Life is the game that really started my interest in the FPS genre. Sure, I had fiddled with Wolfenstein 3D before, but that game was too simplistic. Sure, I had played Doom and Quake before, but those games had no story and just didn't pull... [ Read The Full Review... ]

You could go back into history and review all these types of games, but i think we need to set a baseline. In the beginning there was Unreal. The games graphics were just beyong this world, and i think it was the mmain reason that VIPER SVGA cards... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Carl Brown	10	3/16/2005
What more can be said about the most talked about and successful FPS of all time? Not much really. So good it caused the developers no end of problems attempting to beat what had come before, Half Life blew mindless shooters like Doom,... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		ShoCKw@\/e (21 Trusters)	9	1/9/2005
This game, in my opinion, created a great story. This game is about a scientist in a base and because of his little mistake, he created a dimension portal for aliens to come into our world. Than he's mission is to get out of the base alive. On... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Sugar Shane Lloyd	9	12/28/2004
9.0/10 This is a very well done first person shooter (FPS) with an in depth story line. There are lots of cool weapons and the enemies have fairly descent AI. The environments change throughout the game so it doesn't get boring and you can... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Chauncey Donovan	10	12/5/2004
VALVe Software traversed a long and dirty road to bring us this title, and it was all worth it. It was actually scrapped back in 1997 and remade so quickly it was released in 1998 instead. Pretty impressive, 'eh? You are Gordon... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Pezpimp (9 Trusters)	9	11/27/2004
If you can believe it, I just recently got a chance to play this classic game. All this hype about Half Life two, which should be out any day now, got me interested in the first one and from what I was told, I had to play. I am glad to say that... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Overall: 98 Graphics: 9.5 Game play: 10 Music: 8 Sound: 10 Story: 10 The game that revolutionized first person shooters is here. 1999 was the year that one of that Half Life was released and to this... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Wish (18 Trusters)	10	11/3/2004
A little late for a review for such a great game. I'll try to keep it short. I'll start with what I felt was the best feature of the game, the story. This particular game had a story that was so well crafted that it sounded like it... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Richard Mingo	10	7/26/2004
The first thing I think of whenever I replay this game is, 'They don't make games like this anymore'. I'm utterly shocked by the level design and game play experience each and every single time I play this. The pacing is as good as any game can... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Everclearules20 (45 Trusters)	9	7/26/2004
Half-Life is one of those few legendary titles that come along. One of those games that do everything right; graphics, sound, and gameplay all. Graphics are great for its time, though their dated in todays standards of course. Sound... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mauro Rosati (1 Trusters)	10	7/21/2004
I want to be honest, when I've heard about this game I told myself "This will be a crappy game", because it's not developed by ID (the FPS Masters) even it uses the ID technology. Well guys, then the game came out, I've started to read the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

OVERALL: 9.8 Gameplay: 10 Replay: 8 Graphics: 10 Sound: 8 Story: 9 This is a great playing game! The control set-up is just like any normal FPS. And in bare bones, this is a basic FPS. But... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Viewtiful Guitar (45 Trusters)	10	4/15/2004
1998 was the year that FPS games took a very heavy part of my life away. Half-Life was released, and it sucked my brains and melted my eyes because I stared at my computer screen for a good 5 hours a day...playing single player and TFC. Here's the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Deinol McCthulhu (4 Trusters)	9	12/15/2003
Half-life is the model to which all future FPS will be held. Excellent enemy AI, a flowing world and story that feels real, even as it becomes more and more surreal. Biggest flaw is it's linear game play. It only vaguely offers the illusion of... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Rob McCauley	8	11/23/2003
What can be said about a game that many consider as the finest FPS of all time? Well.... I think the place to start is that, maybe this was true 4 years or so ago, when HL was first released, but on replay, the advances of... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		AngryD00d	10	11/17/2003
A legendary, classic game for the PC. This game is probobly the best game ever to be on the PC. The graphics are very decent and very cool in their own way. The gameplay is more then perfect. Allowing for an astonashing replayability factor. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mauno-Juhani Kari	10	10/16/2003
Half-Life is one of the best games ever made. You are Gordon Freeman and you fight against aliens and commandos to save the world. At the beginning of the game you don't have anything but when you get an armor you can start to collect weapons and... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		GAA	6	9/14/2003
I think this game gets such a high review rating due to inexperienced PC users voting on their best game at the time. This was the just about best pc first person shooter in it's day, but certainly not the best any format... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		brarsc	10	7/14/2003
This is one of my favorite PC games ever. The unique style which Valve Software pulled off is excellent. At the time this game came out, it was innovative and brought us into a new world that was so realistic because of the advanced AI. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Buffy Summers	9	6/16/2003
This is the game that turned FPS in a new direction people. It may be an older game, but it is still one of the best games around. Along with it's bundle of TFC (Team Fortress Classic) and CS (Counter-Strike), it is also one of the leading... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Mark Morell (2 Trusters)	10	6/15/2003
5 years after its release, I finally got a chance to play the infamous Half-Life. I can honestly say that the game still lives up to its reputation and delivers a fun, fast-paced game with an excellent, addictive plot! It's such a ground-breaking... [ Read The Full Review... ]
