Video Game Reviews of Half-Life 2

Customer Review: Simply a great effort by Valve!
Summary: 5 Stars

Every aspect of this game was great fun and very enjoyable and if you have a really good graphics card it is a "WoW" experience. Even with a dated graphics card it is good looking and still a blast!

Customer Review: Steam? What a joke
Summary: 1 Stars

Though i am sure this is a good game i may never know thanks to this aweful little devil called STEAM! this program is clearly a violation of privacy as it hijacks your Pc in the attemps to keep the game from being pirated. In doing so it alienates all of the good people out there just wanting to play the game of the year. It is such a buggy program that all of a sudden i cannot even put in a half life Cd without my Pc freezing up requiring a restart. I will never purchase any product containing STEAM and anyone who does is asking for trouble. I warned ya!! thank me later!!! Thanks STEAM/VALVE,,i will spend my money on products not associated with you.

Customer Review: Awesome Game
Summary: 5 Stars

This game is simply amazing. I love the graphics and the story line, although i found the ending annoying. Ill admit that Steam is a bit annoying at times, but ive never had much trouble with it. And for you people who complain about having to download it using dial-up, stop complaining. Most of you probably waited months for it to come out, whats the problem with waiting another day for it to download. For those of you complaining about needing expensive high end computers, you dont. I play the game on a 3-4 year old dell dimension 8250 that hasnt been upgraded at all, 512mb ram and a 9700tx graphics card whose driver hasnt been updated since ive had it and i also play half life 2 on a compaq presario sr1900nx with an integrated ati radeon xpress 200. The only reason you would need a high end computer would be to play it with all the graphics options on high. I feel sorry for all you people who give this game less than 4 stars because you complain about needing high end computers and having to download it from steam.

Customer Review: One of the best FPS games out there!
Summary: 5 Stars

This game punches you in the gut and then keeps kicking you while your on the ground begging for more.This is a no holds bar assault on your regular shoot em up style games.Half life 2 I thought would not impress me.But after 7 days of playing it I'm hooked.I haven't even beaten the game yet.There is alot of puzzle solving in the game unlike your regular shoot em like Area 51 where all you do is shoot aliens.Here your driving, solving and shooting things.It's much more then just a regular game the games graphics are awesome I literly get freaked out by some of the things here kind of like Resident Evil when zombies pop out only it
s worse here, it's that scary.There are very few games that I love and this is one of them.The story line is amazing.The graphics I would say are realistic the water moves like real water would, and looks as real too sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.And I'm running this game on my laptop with a nVidia graphics card.Hey it's a great game there are some system requirments, so make sure your PC meets them before you run out and buy it other wise your wasting your money.You need an internet connection first.Steam engine works fine for me.I read some reviews where steam doesn't work right.Personally I haven't experienced that it could be they have viruses in there PC that can stop the steam engine from working properly.Also you do need an internet connection.then you just need to download it which takes awhile and then authenticate it on-line first from Steam.If you can stand to wait for 30 minutes then your ready to play.Games like counter strike, Counter strike source, Day of Deafeat, and Half Life 2 Death match and so on and so fourth are great games from steam.check them out as I already own all of these games.
