Video starts with a short gameplay/trailer of the game
00:00:07.173 --> 00:00:13.486
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman, rise and shine.
00:00:14.965 --> 00:00:19.371
Not that i wish to imply that you have been sleeping on the job
00:00:20.165 --> 00:00:24.121
No one is more deserving of a rest...
00:00:24.804 --> 00:00:28.623
And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste
00:00:29.088 --> 00:00:30.603
Until...
00:00:30.835 --> 00:00:34.769
Well, let's just say your hour has come again
00:00:41.691 --> 00:00:47.664
The right man in the wrong place, can
make all the difference in the world
00:00:49.528 --> 00:00:53.341
So, wake up, Mr. Freeman.
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
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.
00:01:11.637 --> 00:01:14.202
First of all, let’s get into the story of the game.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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!
