The game was released in 16 of november, in 2004 for the PC platform, 18 00:01:52,075 --> 00:01:59,368 and one year later in XBOX, finally, in 2010 it got released for Linux and Mac. 19 00:02:01,123 --> 00:02:06,794 Let’s talk now about what the game offers: 20 00:02:07,507 --> 00:02:11,149 A huge variety of weapons 21 00:02:11,769 --> 00:02:13,826 Tons of vehicles 22 00:02:14,606 --> 00:02:17,035 A great story 23 00:02:17,742 --> 00:02:25,506 And the most important one: the game offers a new mechanic which is the HEV armor. 24 00:02:26,837 --> 00:02:34,558 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. 25 00:02:36,388 --> 00:02:41,075 Now we have already talked about what the game offers, so let’s go on with the graphics and sound 26 00:02:42,396 --> 00:02:43,436 Let’s start with the graphics: 27 00:02:44,717 --> 00:02:48,930 The graphics are pretty good, knowing they are from 2004, and they are better than some actual games. 28 00:02:50,158 --> 00:02:52,425 The graphics, are obviously 3D, and not 2D. 29 00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:59,305 The player has a huge selection of options to configure the graphics, to the mode he wants so his computer can play the game. 30 00:03:00,258 --> 00:03:04,598 Now let’s start with the sound: Half-Life 2 features a soundtrack, composed by Kelly Bailey. 31 00:03:05,362 --> 00:03:11,560 In my opinion, all the music is focused on giving an immersive experience to the game. 32 00:03:12,179 --> 00:03:15,681 Now let’s go with the final mark, or the final verdict, whatever you want to call it. 33 00:03:16,124 --> 00:03:18,276 In what the game offers, i would give it a nine out of ten 34 00:03:18,674 --> 00:03:20,738 In graphics i would give it an eight out of ten 35 00:03:21,245 --> 00:03:27,237 In sound i would give it a ten out of ten, I mean, it’s just perfect! 36 00:03:29,022 --> 00:03:35,855 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 37 00:03:36,401 --> 00:03:40,184 great action, and is still considered one of the best games in the video game history by the community. 38 00:03:40,965 --> 00:03:44,068 Here is my review, and i hope you liked it!
