Ok I would just like to clear up this one nice little detail, the reason anyone should buy Half-Life is for the MODs out there such as Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, etc. Personally I think the game itself stinks, easy to beat I mean the hardest part is near the end of the game! I honestly think Valve could have done much better with this game.

It was ok, till the end

This game is great in all areas, the graphics, the gameplay, the add-ons (like counter strike, team fortress, and day of defeat) the only problem i had with the game was the ending, i dont want to spoil it, but i think they could have come up with a better ending to this, beat it and see what i mean...

Great Multiplayer Experience

The initial buzz regarding this game was enormous, leading some publications to regard it as the best videogame ever. But hindsight shows that the title simply hasn't aged well.

For starters, the plot is void and simplistic - seen a million times before. The game is also overly long, and the puzzles get old fast. For a similarly themed game, "Deus Ex" outdoes HL, as it actually delivers on the promise of realism. In other words, the gameplay adjusts to you and not the other way around.

Possibly the strongest point about HL is the mod community built around it. Mods are addons which can be downloaded off the net for free. Although the quality of the singleplayer mods leaves much to be desired, the multiplayer mods are often spectacular, as is the case of Day of Defeat and Counter Strike.

My advice is to purchase it SOLELY for these mods, provided you have a good internet connection, so that you may spend many sleepless nights playing the various realism-oriented mods available.

One less horror in the world.

A modern classic, this is an finely-honed first person shooter with a compelling story, some excellent action set-pieces, great presentation, and a ground-breakingly perfect musical score. It reeks of quality, and stinks of class - the creators obviously cared about making a good game, and that simple fact sets 'Half-Life' apart from everything else. Now almost two years old, 'Half-Life' is still just as good as it was, and it could be released tomorrow and still make the same impact. It's an embarrassment of riches, with too many good things to count - in amongst the seemingly-intelligent soldiers, giant tentacles, amusingly jingoistic security guards and radioactive water the game almost off-handedly solves the problem of how to tell a story with a computer game - and it's extremely immersive. You really need to play it with headphones, or an expensive stereo. Everything from the plausible, gloomy environments, to the metallic chatter of your machine-pistol, fits the atmosphere perfectly, and there's a sparse, scary set of musical cues which mix ambient techno with noisemusic. It's even excellent fun as a multiplayer game, or even in related 'Team Fortress' form. It's rock-hard, too, but in a way that makes you want certain bits again and again. All told, it's a classic, and you should own it already (plus the mission pack).

It's not perfect, though, although familiarity has no bred contempt. The narrative flow breaks down in the final, alien-bound levels, which are a disappointment after the recognisably real-world environments in the rest of the game. On the alien world there are a couple of places where you can be inextricably stuck, too, which seems unfair. Some of the creature designs don't seem to fit, either - whilst the mutated scientists and head-crabs are fantastically hateable, the hulking, wasp-firing alien 'sergeants' seem to belong to another game entirely. Play it in the dark, for the first time, and you'll be scared to death, too.

It makes 'Blood 2' look amazingly, implausibly bad.

THIS GAME IS THE BEST -- BUT DOES NOT WORK ON XP!!!

I had this computer on my 98 machine and it was truly the best pc game I have ever played (i have since moved on to ps2). I just got an xp machine, and it will not run!! So, beware. Anyway, if you are still on 95 or 98, this is a must have, especially at this price!!

Half Life is OK, But I prefer more action in a Game. I rated this 3 stars just because of the so-so action detail. I love First Shooter games, And this one is not the action that I thought it would be.

AWESOOOOME
