Half-life is the best pc game I have ever played. even though it is rated mature, I(a twelve year old)have purchased this game and I feel that Half-life is over-rated.

I have read other reviews and I do not see why people would say this game is educational. I have beaten Half-life and from Black Mesa Inbound to End Game, I do not recall very much education. That's probabably because it's all made up.

As I said, I have beaten Half-life and every level is extremly exciting except the first one(it's more of an intro). It is a very good level, but the more you play it, the more boreing it gets.

The ending sucks!

This game is THE BEST PC GAME EVER, bar-none. Awesome story, great graphics, etc.... Sorry, though, the ending is very disappointing. From Xen on, the story turns stupid. It's like pitching a brilliant perfect game for 8 1/3 innings, then cheesin' out to the number 8 and 9 hole hitters and giving up homers on 0-2 fat fastballs down the gut... Still, the previous 12 or so levels make up for it. AWESOME!

This is by far the best first person shooter i ever played..

This game plain and simple is very fun. I enjoy using the magnum to the heads of all the scientists in the starting of the game. This is bye far the best AI i have ever played.....

Gameplay that keeps going, and going.

Half life is an excellent game, and with an great storyline it feeles like your fighting your way through a sci-fi movie. Whether its the hordes of aliens that attack in mass, or the small groups that, if detecting you, will either attack you, or stalk you until the advantage swings to them. With a decent 3d card, this game will hypnotise you with its great special effects and smooth gameplay. With 3d audio(and the lights turned off) it feeles like you are in the game. Also, there are no cut scenes to slow down gameplay, when you come up to a scientist he will tell you a critical plot point, or if you are hiding near a couple soldiers, they will discuss their plans to trap you with each other. Thats not all... with internet access you can download more levels to play from planet half-life. Not only that, but many developers and home tinkerers are making total conversions of half-life, that will basically make it a totally different game when they are done! all together I think half-life was great, though the ending was farely dissapointing, but an addon pack in the making supposedly will close the open-ended ending.

Why Half Life is the best computer game

I think that Half Life is the best computer game thats ever been made. If you likeed Goldeneye for Nintendo 64 you will like Half Life much better. It has meany diffrent levels and has meany diffrent weapons, it also has multiplayer over the internet. If you don't like the graphics on Half Life you should get a 3DFX Card (witch Amazon.com has in the electronics section). You don't half to take my word for it, but if you do you will be vary pleased (note : this game contanes violance such as blood and guts).

The game is best of this year, it realy shows hard work.

This is the BEST first person shooter I've ever played! It has a strong story line, many kinds of enemies to shoot up, and great graphics and sounds. I highly recomend this game. (Download the TFC patch for it!)

a dawn of a new era of 1st person shooters

To all of you who think this is just your standard, run-of-the-mill doom/quake clone, you are dead wrong. This game has great AI, beautiful and realistic graphics, and varied levels. The Team Fortress Classic add-on you can download is also very fun for playing online.

MULTIPLAYER

the net rules, just like the normal game. The first time I played it, it was internet play, and not knowing what to do, and I played for 5 hours, and I knocked the crud out of the other side. I also was a spy, and it looked like I traited, so I stole the flag many times, and nobody knew, until they spotted me with the flag. It is easy to get the controls into your brain, with THE BEST GRAPHICS.
