I love this game and keep playing it over and over. Super graphics and game play; I enjoyed the boat and buggy once I got used to driving them!
This is a terrific sequel to the classic HL.
The king of all FPS!!!!! Not Joking!

A ridiculously realistic game this is! you can literally pick up even a broken bottle, can, a pot, anything. pick up your enemy's weapon and throw it somewhere if you ammo is full, with the gravity gun, take a matress and blast it into water. even take a saw and rip your zombie enemies in half! This game has a huge amount of replay because of this and many more. if you have a graphics card 256 MB or higher, you'll be in for a treat as the water detail is some of the best ever in any game known to mankind! (well, I mean right now). The only things that makes me sad about this game is that it doesn't have the full goriness unlike the first game, where you can take a grenade and blow your enemy to pieces. And an internet connection is required (REQUIRED) because you have to set up a free steam account (the only charges are for buying games).Seriously though, get this game, I don't care if you get this version, a game of the year, whatever. make sure that your computer has the internet.
awesome

this game could be the best game ever.
its dark, sometimes very dark, but its got great graphics, very well developed story that doesnt bog you down, and intense variety at all turns. Way better than Quake 2, MOHAA, 1942, or any other game you can think of. I did play demo of doom 3 and it was not this good, similar to some parts but no way near as good.
Not "THE" Perfect Game...But It's Better Than The Rest of Today 1st Person Shooters

Select people have hated on this game for accusing the game for thinking it's perfect. Well that's true, but is that the only reason u dislike this game. Give me a perfect 1st-person shooter? Yeah i thought so. For those that have not played this game, buy it. You'll enjoy it, and don't get confused from reviews complaining about quirky AI. The AI is not perfect, but good enough to make it a wonderful experience. Not many games can balance action with a smart storyline...and Half-Life has continued to do that. No this isn't the Godsend of PC games, but it's close. Buy it, you'll enjoy it. And make sure u have a broadband connection to the internet so you'll have no other excuse to put down this game.
One hell of a game! As if you didn't know already......

Let me say something about the game and I mean just the game. It's cool. It's awesome. With its physics and graphic and all.
I know that that Steam Process takes a long time and even very, very long time for many people. It depends on internet connection speed, isnt't it?
Anyway, if those who blame on Steam cannot think... Let me tell you something about the future, yeah, future of softwares and computer games.
Every games will require online registration sooner or later.
This Steam software and its process should give you some idea of how software companies will try every way to protect their softwares from piracy!
Yeah, I really believe so.
Oh, I agree with C. Kochenower that "don't review the game without actually playing it first".
Its got to be-e-e-e-e-e-e...PERFECT

First of all, the install process does seem incredibly amateurish and took me about 45 mins. I didn't encounter any problems, but I can see why other gamers get pissed off when the setup fails. Especially considering the fact that this is most likely the best computer game ever made.
The second to none graphic detail - the fantastic audio sequences - the fabulous variation of levels - the engaging gameplay. Trust me, this game has it all.
Runs smoothly on my mediocre Dell (unlike Far Cry, which seems far more demanding on specs.)
After years of painstaking work and mishaps, I congratulate the people at Valve for a job well done and thanks for many hours of great entertainment.
