Amazing post-apocalyptic atmospheres and fierce action November 30, 2005
Half Life 2 is a FPS (First Person Shooter) which somehow transcends that genre and is an amazing, fast paced run through cities, ghettos, waterways, beaches, and more. Lots of variety on each level, fun NPC's to help you in your missions, a couple of cool vehicles to play with, and some scary monsters to do battle with. The atmosphere is what makes this game, great sound, and the environments are incredible.
I had problems with the frame rate dropping, even a crash or two, but that usually happened at the beginning of levels. Plus phantom NPC's showing up and just hanging out.
All in all a great game, took me about 12 hours to complete, and had a blast the whole way through.
 Ridiculously Good November 28, 2005

This game feels like a combination of the Resident Evil Series and Doom to me. Resident Evil in that although this is a first person game and RE was third (mostly) its has very creepy environs, you are killing lots of zombie like creatures, and there are lots of puzzles to figure out (ie flipping switches to access areas etc). Doom in that it is a first person shooter with lots of weird things to kill, though not near as dark as Doom and doesnt have that annoying flashlight issue like doom.
Highlights are:
1 Graphics are incredible. (the underwater scenes with bullets flying by you is my fav) Probably the best on reg XBox so far.
2 Great story that you just get dropped into and slowly figure out.
3 Cool creatures to kill.
4 Great vehicles to drive (airboat definitely rocks)
Lowlights are:
1 Like everyone else has said, the load times and frequency of loads are mind-numbing. Its almost like a computer with a bad hard drive that keeps kicking in. You would think that with a 10G Hard drive, the programmers could figure a way to make the loads much less frequent.
2 No XBox Live. I know this game would be hard to do with a co-campaign (they would have to change it for the dual play experience), but it would be very cool to do it with a friend live, or at least have battles in some of the environs live.
Overall, though, a stunning game with great graphics.
Dusted off my XBox for this one! November 27, 2005

I was literally using my Xbox to watch DVD's lately, totally bored by the offerings of the last couple years. My interest was renewed with the XBox versoin of Doom 3, but waned halfway thru the game. Then came this game. I remember the utter joy I had playing the first PC version of the original back in '99 on my 'state of the art' Pentium 3-banger. When Half-life-2 came out last year for the PC, I found my early 4-stroke Pentium would need a major overhaul. Then came the XBox version, and I was first in line at Fry's. I am totally impressed!!! Yes, I have talked to my friends who have the latest and greatest PC's and their take that the PC version is superior (by how much, who knows??) but frankly, this is the best XBox game I have ever played. I hooked it up to our 56" high-definition and am completely blow away!!! You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!!
