    No one is more deserving of a rest...
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste

    Videogame review starts, Xisco speaks
  • 1:04 - 1:10
    Hello guys, and welcome again to another review,
    as you have seen, today I’m reviewing Half-Life 2.
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    First of all, let’s get into the story of the game.
  • 1:15 - 1:25
    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.
  • 1:26 - 1:32
    In the game we take the role of the same character in Half-Life 1, called Gordon Freeman.
  • 1:32 - 1:39
    At the start of the game, we can see that the combine has enslaved humanity, forcing them to work for them.
  • 1:40 - 1:51
    Now let’s get on with the game itself.
    The game was released in 16 of november, in 2004 for the PC platform,
  • 1:52 - 1:59
    and one year later in XBOX, finally, in 2010 it got released for Linux and Mac.
  • 2:01 - 2:07
    Let’s talk now about what the game offers:

  • 2:08 - 2:11
    A huge variety of weapons
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    Tons of vehicles
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    A great story
  • 2:18 - 2:26
    And the most important one: the game offers a new mechanic which is the HEV armor.
  • 2:27 - 2:35
    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.
  • 2:36 - 2:41
    Now we have already talked about what the game offers, so let’s go on with the graphics and sound
  • 2:42 - 2:43
    Let’s start with the graphics:
  • 2:45 - 2:49
    The graphics are pretty good, knowing they are from 2004, and they are better than some actual games.
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    The graphics, are obviously 3D, and not 2D.
  • 2:53 - 2:59
    The player has a huge selection of options to configure the graphics, to the mode he wants so his computer can play the game.
  • 3:00 - 3:05
    Now let’s start with the sound:
    Half-Life 2 features a soundtrack, composed by Kelly Bailey.
  • 3:05 - 3:12
    In my opinion, all the music is focused on giving an immersive experience to the game.
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    Now let’s go with the final mark, or the final verdict, whatever you want to call it.
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    In what the game offers, i would give it a nine out of ten
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    In graphics i would give it an eight out of ten
  • 3:21 - 3:27
    In sound i would give it a ten out of ten, I mean, it’s just perfect!
  • 3:29 - 3:36
    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
  • 3:36 - 3:40
    great action, and is still considered one of the best games in the video game history by the community.
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    Here is my review, and i hope you liked it!
