Editorial Reviews :
Your gun had better be loaded if you're playing Half-Life: Game of the Year Edition, the smartest, shootingest, bloodiest game ever to hit the PC. Take control of a scientist charged with destroying the alien invasion force that arrived, courtesy of government experiments gone wrong. Of course, in the post-X-Files world, there's additional bad guys in the form of federal 'cleaners' who want you just as dead as the monsters.
Power up your environmental suit and plunge through level after level of increasingly difficult and creepy challenges, rescuing your fellow scientists and ultimately clearing out the whole complex--if you're lucky. Game play is smooth and simple, after the obligatory false starts and botched maneuvers common to learning every new game. Persistence pays off, though: Half-Life rewards tenacity with increasing power and understanding of the virtual world.
Play on a network and cooperate or compete with folks across the world or in the next cubicle. For those who've mastered the intricacies of Half-Life , the Game of the Year Edition includes Worldcraft 2.0, which the designers used to build every detail of the base. Make your own levels and snicker at other players' pathetic attempts to evade your deathtraps. It's easy to see why Half-Life won Game of the Year from dozens of publications; try it and see for yourself--if you're not too squeamish. --Rob Lightner
Buyer Reviews :
Most of us have played or at least played First Person Shooters. FPS is becoming the standard format for action games these days, and it is understandably difficult for game designers to keep them fresh and interesting.
I don't give a lot of 5-star ratings, but I honestly believe that Half-Life is the best computer game I have ever played. Half-Life is an excellent game all around. Excellent graphics, pretty good sound, an incredible story-line, and a ton of intellectual stimulation.
THERE ARE PUZZLES to solve in Half-Life. Some of these are challenging, all of them are fun. The combat is exciting, and the AI is frightening. You will be attacked in groups. The enemy will cooperate with each other. Some will shoot and try to pin you down. Some will throw grenades when you are behind cover. They will surround and flank you. Half-Life has raised the standards for AI in computer gaming.
As for system requirements, Half-Life is a game that any computer can handle, it runs fine on a 400 MHz Pentium 1.
Perhaps the best part about Half-Life is the multiplayer compatibility. There are many other games that are based off the Half-Life Engine that are incredible to play online. Team Fortress for the more chaotic lemming-style play (run around and kill it if it moves) or Counter-Strike for the more strategic, team oriented player.
This is the only game I've ever seen with no cons. Buy this game for a kid of any age or an adult. (It also has a handy parental violence control, though it's really not necessary -- this is not a graphic game.)
