2
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:13,486
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman, rise and shine.
3
00:00:14,965 --> 00:00:19,371
Not that i wish to imply that you have been sleeping on the job
4
00:00:20,165 --> 00:00:24,121
No one is more deserving of a rest...
5
00:00:24,804 --> 00:00:28,623
And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste
6
00:00:29,088 --> 00:00:30,603
Until...
7
00:00:30,835 --> 00:00:34,769
Well, let's just say your hour has come again
8
00:00:41,691 --> 00:00:47,664
The right man in the wrong place, can
make all the difference in the world
9
00:00:49,528 --> 00:00:53,341
So, wake up, Mr. Freeman.
10
00:00:53,627 --> 00:00:57,355
Wake up... and smell the ashes.

00:00:58,673 --> 00:01:00,077
Videogame review starts, Xisco speaks
12
00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:10,472
Hello guys, and welcome again to another review,
as you have seen, today I’m reviewing Half-Life 2.
13
00:01:11,637 --> 00:01:14,202
First of all, let’s get into the story of the game.
14
00:01:15,376 --> 00:01:24,987
The story takes place in a dystopian future,
after the events of Half-Life 1, a race from space has taken over the world,
this race is called The Combine.
15
00:01:25,837 --> 00:01:31,528
In the game we take the role of the same character in Half-Life 1, called Gordon Freeman.
16
00:01:32,081 --> 00:01:39,336
At the start of the game, we can see that the combine has enslaved humanity, forcing them to work for them.
17
00:01:39,772 --> 00:01:51,446
Now let’s get on with the game itself.
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!
