The computer games have been great so with the PS2's graphics it has to be the best ever. No PS2 should be without it.

Seems a little odd...

Why are they releasing this for PS2? Half-life is a great game, but for $50 and if it has nothing new in it i'm not buying. Maybe if it included every expansion or some cool stuff like that it would be good... guess the late release date is because they have to port it. Seems odd. I gave it 5 stars anyway because hl rox.

Apparently, from what ive heard, this version of half-life is going to be a totally different experience from the PC version. Its supposed to have all new levels, weapons and some other features. the graphix are supposed to be good too. I love this game on the PC and i think this will be a winner too.

PS2 opens up great oportunities.

I think that putting hl on the PS2 is a great idea! Not only will it be nice to use a Ps2 controller instead of a key board but the graphics are gunna be GREAT! Plus this gives people without a computer the chance to play, and renting it at the video store is good too. Having it on a popular video game system will increase hl's popularity.

It's all around a good thing!

same as the original, but better graphics

i've been waiting for this some time now. i've read up on the ps2 version and it is the same as the original, but with better graphics, of course some of the weapons have been modified some, but they all have the same effect. it does have an extra bonus of a short 2-person mission, but your to chicks. so if you can get over the fact of being a woman in it, i guess it'll be fun. the game has mouse and keyboard support through the usb ports for those that prefer it. sadly, there is no online game included, so we'll have to wait for counter-strike, if they make it.

A must buy Playstation 2 game

My brother works for Valve software (the people who made Half-Life) and I got to test this item myself. This is the best game for the Playstation 2 so far I would say. The controls are remarcable compared to the PC version. But, if you liked the original controls with the keyboard and the mouse, you'll love this. Half-Life supportes the USB ports. So hook up your mouse and keyboard and get playing!

The graphics are also stunning on this game. They are enhanced very much from the PC version. And, if your concerned about the framerate, no fear, it runs as smooth as silk.

There's also a multi-player mode and a co-op mode on Half-life, so you can compete against your friends in a deathmatch, or try and get place back to normal by fighting side-by-side.

I gave this a 5/5 because... IT'S THE BEST FREAKIN' GAME FOR THE PS2 YET!!! If you liked the original, you'll love this one.With totally revised graphics, and new multi-player mode, this is a must buy for the playstation 2.

(there's also a rumor around valve about online play)

This game is the BEST!!!!

This game is the best first person shooter....ever.
I love this game because it has awsome graphics, awsome gameplay, and awsome online stuff. I haven't played it for PS2 yet but from the previews i've seen the game looks like it will be a big big hit. Since i don't have the internet I can't play TF or just plain Half life death match. So i can only amagine the game play with friends or with the i-link cable...ohhhhh it's givin me the shivers just thinkin about it. And co-op wow thats the fun'ness right there my friends. Get it!!!!!

probably going to one of the best games on the PS2.

This has got to be one of the best games on the PC right now and i cant wait until it comes out on the PS2 but the only down side about these games on consoles is the cotrols thats why I gave it four stars But but other than that it still an excellent game. When I first saw this game at my cousins house it was the coolest game I have ever seen I mean it has a great story line, good graphics, and massive worlds and on the PS2 its going to be great cause you can play 1-4 players and you dont have to buy four PCs to play the game with all of your friends and that's a major + any way I just cant wait for this awesome game to come out on the PS2.

good game

Let me tell you a little secret:I never finished half life on the PC.I know it's sacrilegious,but hey,it was the fall of 1998,and my consoles were calling to me with stuff like Xelda and Metal Gear Solid.Now,revisiting HL on the PS2,i'm reminded of just how amazing this game is.Although it's looking a little outdated in the graphics department {even with the upgraded PS2 visuals}, HL can still hold its own against prettier newcomers like Red Faction.The saving grace here isn't how good the story is {it's rather cliche actually},but rather how well it unfolds in the context of the game.You're never at a loss for where to go next.Sure, the lecels are ultimately linear in design,But none of the areas feel contrived or unnatural.It's also one of those games loaded with a ton of cool moments.Trust me,no amount of hyperbole on my part can prepare you for the shiver inducing stuff you'll see in some of the later levels.Believe it,HL's single player experience is unrivaled.In multiplayer,however ,HL is a disappointment.Decay,the two player co op mode is too short,and with its head to head and weapon modelsin two player head to head and weapon models in two player splitscreen only further hampers the deathmatch experience.Despite these heart breaking shortcomings,i can honestly say i had more fun playing HL on the PS2 this month than i ever did on my PC three years ago.And yes,i finished it this time.

THE BEST FPS GAME ON ALL SYSTEMS
