campusjunk 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 It is sooooo sweet. You can pickup anything, well .. anything thats not to big (your not superman). Its kinda futureistic, but not so bad that it makes it lame, like 5-10 years or something. And the government has taken over kinda... i think. I didnt really pay attention alot to the storyline... i just wanted to shoot some stuff. Its pretty sweet throwing a barral at someone and then shooting it and making it blow up .

Casanova 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 I knew the online autentication process was going to be more trouble than its worth. Oh well, that what the offline patch its for. I hope it goes down in price soon, $50 is still a lot of money for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you get lucky and could grab it for something like $30, i don't know but you never know. Check out eb.com or compusa and bestbuy.com. I am so backed up with games that i can wait for a real steal on that one.  See ya  Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alperuzi 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2004 well, I finished it today and yes, it is a great game.The new physics based gaming is a pretty neat idea, you can interact with pretty much every object in the game. You have extended areas of the game which you travel by vehicles (a boat and a buggy to be exact) and you have a limited number of weapons like in HL1, but the gravity gun as mentioned is the most unique. How does picking up a radiator and using it as a shield sound? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2004 ^Sounds very fun and original. That shows that this game is very interactive, unlike most of the games we see today that are nothing but "interactive" movies with few minigames thrown on the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flamingninjasfanclub 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2004 no wonder it was so hyped, the graphics are as good as doom 3's if not better! great game... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWarrior 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 It is the best game ever made. Far superior graphics compared to games like Doom 3, and Far Cry. They released HL2 Deathmatch so now you can play HL2 with other people on cool maps and they have Team deathmatch as well.IT OWNZ!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alperuzi 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 I don't agree that it has better graphics actually.Farcry had much better environmental graphics, the trees and the beaches and the water was awesome.Doom 3 was technically superior, it used the lighting much better.HL2 has awesome character grahics, the faces, animations and ragdoll physics of the characters are very realistic.
