Not that i wish to imply that you have been sleeping on the job

No one is more deserving of a rest...

0:00:24.804,0:00:28.623
And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste

0:00:29.088,0:00:30.603

Well, let's just say your hour has come again

<i>Videogame review starts, Xisco speaks</i>

0:01:03.810,0:01:10.472
Hello guys, and welcome again to another review, [br]as you have seen, today I’m reviewing Half-Life 2.[br]

0:01:11.637,0:01:14.202
First of all, let’s get into the story of the game.

0:01:15.376,0:01:24.987
The story takes place in a dystopian future,[br]after the events of Half-Life 1, a race from space has taken over the world, [br]this race is called The Combine.

0:01:25.837,0:01:31.528
In the game we take the role of the same character in Half-Life 1, called Gordon Freeman.

0:01:32.081,0:01:39.336
At the start of the game, we can see that the combine has enslaved humanity, forcing them to work for them.[br]

0:01:39.772,0:01:51.446
Now let’s get on with the game itself. [br]The game was released in 16 of november, in 2004 for the PC platform,

0:01:52.075,0:01:59.368
and one year later in XBOX, finally, in 2010 it got released for Linux and Mac.

0:02:01.123,0:02:06.794
Let’s talk now about what the game offers:[br][br]

0:02:07.507,0:02:11.149
A huge variety of weapons[br]

0:02:11.769,0:02:13.826
Tons of vehicles[br]

0:02:14.606,0:02:17.035
A great story[br]

0:02:17.742,0:02:25.506
And the most important one: the game offers a new mechanic which is the HEV armor.

0:02:26.837,0:02:34.558
Now let’s talk about the maps, to start, the maps are very different from each other, however, the enemies are always the same, which makes it a worse experience.

0:02:36.388,0:02:41.075
Now we have already talked about what the game offers, so let’s go on with the graphics and sound

0:02:42.396,0:02:43.436
Let’s start with the graphics:

0:02:44.717,0:02:48.930
The graphics are pretty good, knowing they are from 2004, and they are better than some actual games.

0:02:50.158,0:02:52.425
The graphics, are obviously 3D, and not 2D.

0:02:53.465,0:02:59.305
The player has a huge selection of options to configure the graphics, to the mode he wants so his computer can play the game.

0:03:00.258,0:03:04.598
Now let’s start with the sound:[br]Half-Life 2 features a soundtrack, composed by Kelly Bailey.[br]

0:03:05.362,0:03:11.560
In my opinion, all the music is focused on giving an immersive experience to the game.[br]

0:03:12.179,0:03:15.681
Now let’s go with the final mark, or the final verdict, whatever you want to call it.[br]

0:03:16.124,0:03:18.276
In what the game offers, i would give it a nine out of ten

0:03:18.674,0:03:20.738
In graphics i would give it an eight out of ten

0:03:21.245,0:03:27.237
In sound i would give it a ten out of ten, I mean, it’s just perfect!

0:03:29.022,0:03:35.855
Now the real mark: I would give it a 9 out of 10, Half-Life 2 is a game that even though it is pretty old, it still offers a great story

0:03:36.401,0:03:40.184
great action, and is still considered one of the best games in the video game history by the community.

0:03:40.965,0:03:44.068
Here is my review, and i hope you liked it!
