It took way to long to get going and it made weird sounds at you. it also had a number of homosexual references. i did not like it. neither should you. unless you only have a half of a life. losers

this game has to be among the worst games out for the PS2. i rented it because i had heard that it was a good game, but i was heavily disappointed. the graphics are about the same as many N64 games. i have read other reviews of this game praising it, but please do not ignore this review. if you really want this game, you should rent it first. you'll see what i mean. the saddest part about this game is that you cant even see your gun. another thing is that the head to head mode levels are incredibly small. i thought this would be a good game, and i am glad i rented it first.

Not worth the money

I have been playing Half-Life on my computer since version 1.0 came out and let me tell you this, this is just another case of an absoluetly excelent PC game gone bad on a console. With out a doubt, it's not worth the money to buy a PS2 game. I suguest that if you are interested in getting Half-Life and its subsequent mods you buy the PC version and go to planethalflife dot com and check out the mods. It's much much better on PC.

NO WAY...

Half life is my favorite game... I loved playing counterstrike, Day of Defeat and many of itz other mods... I spent countless hours in internet cafes playing till dawn... however i am dissapointd that a game which is meant to be a multiplayer game is made for single player... i have played the single player mode on my computer, but a Playstaion2 game???!!! First there is no multiplayer.... and i think that reason is enough... half life is game for multiplayers a PS2 version destroyed this game...

A Major Disappointment!

When I asked for Half Life for Christmas I thought that I was going to be blown away with incredible game play and fantastic graphics, but I was very disappointed. This game does not even harness the power of PS2's graphics; its graphics are identical to that of a PS one game that went wrong. Could the beginning be any more boring and tedious? Like the gamer really cares about every single detail there is to know about the Black Mesa Corporation. The controls are pathetic; the plot is confusing, mediocre, and poorly portrayed; the weapons don't have any special qualities; and the multiplayer is just a joke. The audio is also appalling- sharp and annoying explosions that sound and look fake take any sign of hope away from this game. Definitely rent this title before buying it! FPS Enthusiasts Beware: You may hate Vicendi Universal forever!

Do not support Valve or Sierra.

This game, first published for the PC, was programmed by Valve and published by Sierra. The PC game has allowed players to cheat, see through walls, autoaim, and do other things they should never be able to do while playing multiplayer. Neither of these companies will take responsibility and it has been years since these cheats were discovered. While this doesn't apply to the PS2 game because its not multiplayer, just know that if you buy this game you're supporting a couple of irresponsible companies. My two cents.

THIS GAME [isn't very good]

well, this was one of my first purchases on ps2 and it made me wonder if i should've bought the system. the graphics were barely over the psx par. the constant load times are incredibly frustrating, considering everytime you turn a corner there's loading (loading during gameplay makes no sense to me). then there's the dreaded boring opening credits sequence, which is you on a tram with some lady announcing "don't put your hands out the tram" this sequence lasts for about 5 minutes at least and you can't skip it. the gameplay itself is ok and deaths are ok, but all in all i'd rather play doom. i got rid of this and got medal of honor to feed my first person shooter need on playstation 2. i couldn't let this game taint my collection.

CRAP...

If you have any sense, avoid this game like the plague. I haven't played the pc version, but if this is the adaption, I have no...clue why it won a single award, let alone was ever released.The graphics are [poopy], the controls are [poopy], the levels are [poopy], the game is [poopy]. If you come across this game, BURN IT. If you for some reason are tempted to buy this, first smack yourself, then, if you're still tempted, smack yourself again.

Oh Boy

This is goin to be fun. Half-Life is without a doubt the worst video game I have every played in my lifetime and that's saying something. I beat the first four levels in the game and then I honestly couldn't take it anymore. The story is ...not well planned, the monsters are dumb and kill you easily, the characters and graphics are bad, really bad, and finally, the whole set up is just plain [bad]. The multiplayer is no better with rooms the size of a small box and the weapons [are not good] too. I mean, the crowbar is the best thing to use. When a gun isn't good enough to kill people in a first person shooter, you know you've got problems. Please save yourself and don't buy this game. I'm so glad I borrowed it from my friend instead of buying it. Heed my words fellow video gamers, Half-Life is terrible
