The game was released in 16 of november, in 2004 for the PC platform, 00:01:52.075 --> 00:01:59.368 and one year later in XBOX, finally, in 2010 it got released for Linux and Mac. 00:02:01.123 --> 00:02:06.794 Let’s talk now about what the game offers: 00:02:07.507 --> 00:02:11.149 A huge variety of weapons 00:02:11.769 --> 00:02:13.826 Tons of vehicles 00:02:14.606 --> 00:02:17.035 A great story 00:02:17.742 --> 00:02:25.506 And the most important one: the game offers a new mechanic which is the HEV armor. 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. 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 00:02:42.396 --> 00:02:43.436 Let’s start with the graphics: 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. 00:02:50.158 --> 00:02:52.425 The graphics, are obviously 3D, and not 2D. 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. 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. 00:03:05.362 --> 00:03:11.560 In my opinion, all the music is focused on giving an immersive experience to the game. 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. 00:03:16.124 --> 00:03:18.276 In what the game offers, i would give it a nine out of ten 00:03:18.674 --> 00:03:20.738 In graphics i would give it an eight out of ten 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! 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 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. 00:03:40.965 --> 00:03:44.068 Here is my review, and i hope you liked it!
