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.

I kinda liked it, kinda hated it...

Hmm... yeah. Where do I start? Oh, The game is fun, I think. I played it for hours when I first got it. And as I was playing the first time around, I was like, "This is the coolest thing ever."

HOWEVER... Then you play co-op with a friend. And the gun's sound effects are so annoying that you hit your friend for firing their gun needlessly. The sound seems horrible, and the aiming system isn't my cup of tea.

Multiplayer is limited, and after I tire from hitting my friend to death with a crowbar, I just end it right there and go play Perfect Dark on N64.

AND THAT HORRIBLE INTrO ON THE TRAM ENTERING THE FACILITY THAT TAKES ABOUT THREE DAYS TO COMPLETE AND NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT... GOD THAT'S ANNOYING. I MUST HAVE PLAYED IT TO DEATH AND LOATH EVEN LOOKING AT IT AGAIN ANY TIME SOON.

That being said, I think it was a decent game, and would recommend it to those who don't have the PC version, or those who inheritted 40 billion dollars and don't mind blowing big bucks on a game.

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

its great

Half-Life is the classic, the original, the number one! Sure the graphics aren't so spiffy and anyone with their mother's old pre-fab graphics card can play it without a lag... but it's not the graphics that makes the game so great.

No matter how many times I replay this game, it just gets better every time.

But everyone knows that all 1st-per shooters were destined to be played on the PC, which is exactly where this game belongs. I was extremely disheartened to discover that it came out for a bunch of console platforms. SHAME on Sony and Nintendo!

If you're going to get this game (and everyone should) then do it right and buy the PC version.

Good Game,Worth the money to buy one.

This is a port of perhaps the greatest FPS ever made, and there is nothing wrong with this game. As far as I'm concerned, This game is the best looking port out there.
Pros:
Well, u get great weapons
A nice storyline
Great gameplay
Nice sound effects
Realistic
A lock on aim, so u can aim and fire
Sometimes it's fun finding out where to go
Codes, of course
Secondary attacks are great
Perhaps the best FPS of all-time
Cons:
Outdated graphics for the PS2 I mean
no music
Small monsters get annoyin when the jump at you
sometimes it's very frustrating to find out where to go
shoot, I'm stuck right now

I will find out where to go, but I still say this is a great game, and I recomend this to any PC/PS2 owner.

very disapointing

this game is one of the worst. how it got high 8s or even 9s: i got no idea. the graphics are very squarey and the mouth movement of the people has that "dark cloud" look. explosions look flat and weak. the framerate is smooth while walking but rough while running. pretty realistic, except that when you so much as tap a person with a crowbar they break apart into steaks, as if they were hit by a granade or something. a few things can be demolished. this game has a very small selection of monsters. i believe even "doom" for the game boy advance has a wider variety. there is a whole lotta weapons though. i haven't yet beaten this game and i problably will never get bored enough to try. the only reason someone should buy this game is to destroy it, and make the world a better place.

PS2 opens up great oportunities.

I think that putting hl on the PS2 is a great idea! Not only will it be nice to use a Ps2 controller instead of a key board but the graphics are gunna be GREAT! Plus this gives people without a computer the chance to play, and renting it at the video store is good too. Having it on a popular video game system will increase hl's popularity.

It's all around a good thing!
