  • 9.2 WTF!! This game deserves a 12 out of 10

  • @sodalmen

    9.2 is actually a really good rating. It's ridiculous how these days if a game gets less than a 9 people rage, check out the video "hate out of ten", yeah the guys a bit up himself but makes a good point, Back when this was reviewed there were actually games that got 6s and 7s rather than modern times were they all just get 9s and 10s 

  • @legendp2011 i know, but this is really a masterpiece, i was hoping even a 9.5 But times have changed, now in mothern times, games like battlefield get high scores that dont deserve them. Specially this types of games that totally forget about the main campaign, like battlefield 3, for me is just diriculus, some times i think that games are not evolving, are going backwards, they are becoming shorter, lamer and boring, but what is worse is that we buy still them

  • @legendp2011 Ca you share me the link of the video you say? i cant find it. :)

  • @sodalmen

    just go onto google and type in "hate out of ten", click on jimquisition, it's on the escapist (not on youtube), his a bit up himself but makes a good point. While your there you should also check out zero punctuation (yahtzee), he reviews games rather harshly but in a comedy style way and always fun to watch for a good laugh (as long as you don't take him too seriously). Like I said google "hate out of ten" and click on the escapist link (should be the first link that pops up)

  • @legendp2011 I whatch yatzee since the orange box review. Thanks for the info, i never watched jims videos until now, still is a good point of view, and i actually agree in all he says in the video. :)

  • Best game of all time.

  • HL2 = 10/10

  • Ravenholm was scary as fuck

  • i never found the game scary just bad ass

  • Best gameof the decade people that say its not are just stupid asholles

  • Father Grigori isn't mad-he's just sleep deprived!

  • Uh... Engrossing story? There was little to no story, most of it made by you as you summarized what you did just to keep up.

  • @animeOmega125 The game had a pretty badass story, actually. Sure, it was simple, but it worked, and made the game very enjoyable. And there were a few plot twists in there that were just awesome. Even if you don't like the story, the pure awesomeness of the gameplay should keep you interested.

  • 9.9 thats the score it deserves

  • I love Gamespot`s reviews!

  • 10.0 more suitable score

  • 2:00 fail.The player missed every single zombie haha

  • 3:27 CAMPER KILL

  • 9.6 would've been a more appropriate score.

  • that guy doesnt know wat hes talking about HALF LIFE 2 is great

  • @TheYouPoop He dd give it a pretty good review...or are you saying that it should have gotten a great rating rather than a superb? great is lower than superb, jackass. Half-Life 2 definitely deserves it. Little bitch.

  • @ShaneMacgowanFan93 Y do u have to be a cock sucking bitch? i love the game but only a game geek would go out and take unnessesary time to correct me on my mistake. so next time, bitch, shut your mouth the fuck up

  • @TheYouPoop DON WORRY MEESHELL I DUN CARE IF YOU ARE DUMB EXPIRED COCONUT I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY U AR STILL BEAUTIFOOL IN MY EYES I WILL ACCEPT YOU FOR THE COCONUT YOO ARE BOOTIFAL YOU CAN BE MY DUMB EXPIRED COCONUT XOXOXOXOXO

  • should i get this game or far cry 2???

  • @clevelandboiye Far cry 2 is an open world game, and Half life 2 is a linear adventure game. But Half life 2 has more gamplay, you do so many different things and you need to use your head to figure out what to do and how to do them. Far cry 2 is a strait fps, you get tons of guns and an open world, but you do the same thing the hole game, the ai cheats, respawn, and you spend alot of time just driving and get delayed by patrolls you need to fight becaus you can't outrun them. I say Half life 2.

  • @clevelandboiye HALF LIFE 2 is SOO MucH better

  • half life 2 needs combine vs rebels multiplayer game modes and a hold out as long as you can mode against zombies,antilions,or combine maybe even abilty to have them all that way itll be pure chaos cause all the species are fighting eachother

  • @gabeo09 No, because that would mean the singleplayer would probably be lack luster.

  • @chriscos123 mmm I see ur point but I still think it could at least use something multiplayer anything

  • @gabeo09 which it did, counter strike source, or, if you want to go into the future, half life 2 deathmatch.

  • @chriscos123 well i know the counter strike game but im talking within the halflife universe is all

  • half life 2 is the greatest game in history...

  • 9.2? really this games should be 11 out of 10

  • looks stunning?

    wow, weve come a long way since 2008

  • Only 9.2? Is he serious? And he used the Mother Antilion as the scary feature of the game? WTF?

    I was shitting myself in Ravenholm! And the story is amazing!

  • @AbridgedPenguin  Yep when I was younger that level scared the living shit outa me!

  • @AbridgedPenguin yeah antilion queen got NOTHING on ravenholm.. NOTHING

  • @AbridgedPenguin I think he meant scary as in Difficult to defeat, since he previously said the game was rather easy

  • @AbridgedPenguin

    Dude are you kidding me? Getting chased by that huge behemoth is friggin' scary, although the ear-splitting scream of the fast zombies are by far the scariest part in Half-Life 2

  • lol maybe it was just me. acceptance :|

  • This game is my second favorite game of all time (Next to Fallout 3, of course.) It has a great story, nice graphics, great gameplay, and Alyx is one of, if not the, hottest video game character I've ever seen.

  • @demondog45 "(Next to Fallout 3, of course.)"

    Right...

  • He forgot to mention the amount of time you will spend stuck on door-frames because freeman is apparently the exact size of a door so you have to go through perfectly. Unless you have AI "helping", you won't even try going indoors then because they JUST GET IN THE PHARQUING WAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!111!!

  • @BL4CKSHUCK Your retarded... I never had any problems with the doors... and I dont think anyone else besides YOU has, either...

  • @BL4CKSHUCK You had problems with the doors? Um, bad coordination much? I had no problem at all, even with the blocky AI.

  • God...this guy spoild everything...

  • sounds like asian gaben

  • Bought this and its boring as hell. Thank god for Portal, made it worth the buy

  • the story is disappointing??? well unless youre some bratty little bitch kid who cant wait for the next game then well....... fuck you

  • :55 wide awway of weapons!

  • i personally prefer gamespot than ign's reviews. ign now is giving out horrible reviews, like they gave black ops a 8.5 seriously ign? that derserves a perfect 10 out of 10

  • @Ghostvisionable I thought black ops kinda sucked compared to Modwarf 2. I'd give it an 8.5

  • who else was shoked with the ending of episode 2

  • You guys are idiots. This is Gamespot's personal opinion, and they're definitely not horrible reviewers just because they disagree with you.

  • i just got orange box and i love this game it kinda takes me back 2 ps2 fps's but a really good graphics and physics one if you know what i mean

  • HL2 did nothing innovative folks, yup. Thanks for that informative review Gamespot.

  • wtf counter strike is a completely different game lol

  • Why are you shooting the crap out of everything(in Half-Life 2)? aren't you suppose to reserve ammo?

  • The funny thing is that they're calling a game decent when it was made in 1999, and is still played by a lot of people today.

  • my favorite game

  • the story of Half Life 2 is 78 times better than any other game

  • WHAT IS THIS GUY ON ABOUT?

    HALF LIFE 2 IS GROUND BREAKING IN EVERY WAY!

  • @RepM8 he said that because it adds only a little bit more than THE GROUND BREAKING Half-Life, so he's not sayin is isnt at all it's just not as much as half-life because it has a lot of the same well the same ground breaking stuff, and you can't break the same ground tahts already been broken lol

  • Beating this game for the first time, never played any half life before... I LOVE IT!

  • I still feel this is one of the greatest games out there. Still looks great.

  • also, why was he reviewing counterstrike source as 'the multiplayer component of HL2'?

    it's a completely different game, and should be in a seperate review

  • this guy was saying the original was better?

    couldn't be more wrong.

  • 3:55

    ehh....half life 2:deathmatch?

  • Ive been in college for the last month, and have been missing my ps3. I suddenly remembered a certain Orange box on my laptop. This game is breathtaking.

  • i shod have been 11/10

  • hl2 was awesome but it didn't upgraded grap[hics and stuff in the years hl has to move on to modern graphics but still its awesome

  • @viliussmproductions Half life 2 had some of the best graphics at the time it came out, if HL2 upgraded to modern graphics it would have to be remade, and you cant remake perfection

  • @AirForcePeanut89 some of the best graphics at the time still im not trolling hl2

  • its funny when you look at reviews of games when they come out like starfox 64, system shock 2, call of duty 4, and of course half life 2 people say "its cool but nothing special" and then a couple years later they win several game of the MOTHERFUCKING DECADE awards! lol

  • This review is SOOOO BORING. I'm not even sure if this is video review is about the second game or the original. They keep on inserting half life 1 video footages

  • @thesurfer2008

    You literally have to be deaf or either a mentally disorded person to NOT understand this guy. They insert gameplay footage of Half-Life one only once when they talk about Half-Life one -- doesn't that seem fitting to you, or it is a little to much for you to comprehend? Amazing how dim-witted people can be.

  • Half-life 2.... what can i say? if anyone hasnt gotten this game, well.... GET IT!!!!!!!!!!! By far my favorite all time game. its half life 1, but with better visuals and a stellar story. Ya its not that revolutionary, but ive herd people say FPS's dont need good story just good gameplay. This is what happens when u combine both!!!

  • This game was scary as hell. There were times where I almost threw my laptop off of my body.. like walking into a presumed empty house, walking up a broken stairs, hearing mysterious groans, then getting a poison headcrab thrown at you. Oh, I love this game.

  • didnt know there were chinese gays

  • "The game is also extremely easy."

    Yeah, no shit Sherlock, you're playing the on EASY!!! The story doesn't suck, it far surpasses the first Half Life 1, which was extrordinary.

  • Wow... if I had watched this review before I played the game, I woulda been so pissed off. The guy spoils practically everything.

  • well they made half life 2 death match too. And that had all the gun from half life 2.

  • 9.2 , lol it should be 13

  • Why the hell did he start talking about CSS and how it's the HL2 multiplayer?

    Shit, and I thought GameSpot was someone intelligent about these things. Guess Half-Life 2: Deathmatch must be the multiplayer for Portal. Sick.

  • I actually think Half Life 2 is better than Half Life 1.

  • @DrlchknJr A lot of people do

  • @DrlchknJr yea i agree with you

  • Jason Ocampo is an ass. Half-Life 2 is the greatest fps of all time, and definately one of the five greatest games of all time. In fact, it just as well may be the greatest.

  • Half-Life 1 revolutioned the game industry , Half-Life:2 perfected it.

  • i hate game spot they suck

  • WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT. HL2 IS A WHOLE SPERATE GAME FROM CSS. SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO BUY THE MULTIPLAYER OF A GAME. THATS LIKE SAYING LEFT 4 DEAD 2 IS ALSO HL2 MULTIPLAYER BECAUSE IT USES THE SAME ENGINE. THE ONLY THING SIMILAR BETWEEN THE TWO IS THE ENGINE THE GUNS ARENT THE SAME AND THE MODELS ARENT THE SAME. However yes HL2 is one of the best games I've ever played.

  • @CSyoshoro He never said it was the same game smartass...

  • @CSyoshoro Back in 2004, HL2 and CSS were packaged and sold together. You couldn't get one without the other.

  • man vavle have newer been playing it safe. in my mind half life and tf2, ccs, and l4d is the best games evar. and i fucking hade mw2 . let me know what you think

  • @cufbas SOOOO with you there i hate it when kids rant about there accomplishments in mw2 but havnt even heard of counter-strike

  • @cufbas your definetly right mate valve are the best game company but I love bethesda too

  • I nominate the Half life series the greatest story in history, and the most brutal. the weapons are awesome, the story is great, and there is very good puzzles thrroughout the game. Gabe has a great hit on his hands. lets just hope it doesn't go downhill in "Half-Life 2 Episode 3"

  • Best FPS experience and one of the best single-player experiences I've ever played. Totally changed my perspective on PC gaming. If the epic poem The Aeneid were translated to a future story the character Aeneas would be Gordon Freeman and the combine and their leader would be Juno and the other Greek gods.

  • gamespot sucks half life 2 is awesome gamespot makes it sound gay

  • Half Life 2 is by far the best FPS and CS Source is the best multiplayer game ever made

  • half life was the first game i played

  • y cant u see ur hands?

  • @cheekotter

    yes u can!

  • My second favourite game of all time:)

  • for the people saying this is a terrible review, well geez its his opinion he can way whatever the hell he wants to about the game, you dont tell him what to do

  • @nukeboy14 Exactly. People are just pissed because the reviewer didn't say everything positive about their favorite game. I mean come on, Half life 2 is great, it's unique compared to the first game and it deserves it's attention, but the combat can't even match to half life 1. Half life 1 is a true classic.

  • I thinck this deseved gotd it was amazing there's gmod to and that ads to it

  • Quite frankly, this is a terrible review. I mean, this guy acts like the Gman's lovechild! It's creepy the way he uses his hands for EVERYTHING.

  • "It doesn't break new ground." My fucking ASS it doesn't break new ground. What the fuck has this asshole been smoking?

  • To my mind, this is the only 10/10 game released this decade... though Portal, Shadow of the Colossus, Super Mario Galaxy and Braid were all super-impressive as well.

  • This reviewer is intellectually challanged... it doesnt break new ground? what the hell is he talking about

  • you must buy this game original is realy a good game invest.

  • My god Gamespot is horrible at reviewing.

  • Flamma you got that damn right!

  • @FlammaMan they are better then ign!

  • @FlammaMan At least they're not as bad as those ass kissers at IGN.

  • @FlammaMan Gamespot sucks as a whole haha

  • @FlammaMan

    They have gone better over the years ;)

  • @FlammaMan

    MEOW!

  • @FlammaMan yes. but its still a review.

  • @TheMicrochip55Hacks Wait, what? My comment has 67 thumbs up?

    What? I'm very confused. I'm even more confused as to why you're replying to a year old comment. Seems kind of pointless.

    Still, I never said it wasn't a review, I just said it was a bad one.

  • @FlammaMan Ididnt know it was a year old lol. And I know you never said it was a review. I was saying atleast it IS a review it can still help me decide wether to buy it or not.

  • @FlammaMan They were beter off with Greg Kasavin.

  • dunno if this game is the best of the decade as ign said

  • it is

  • Comment removed

  • dont be such a baby

  • Your knocking on it because you suck at it?

  • @Dltn97 right......

  • wait a minute...

    Half Life 2? the worst game?

    you ok?

  • Comment removed

  • dude, he mentioned the gravity gun.. and the physics engine, you just weren't paying attention

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, spoilers.

  • ign said half life 2 was the best game of the decae....does any one feel the same way?

  • @blazilfrazil2 i agree

  • @Metaflux317 yep me 2

  • @Metaflux317 it is a proven fact that half life 2,is the greatest game of the decade.and when half life 3 comes out,OMG!

  • @tactherapper

    when does half life 3 come out?

    also it comes out in episodes 1, 2, 3. Also, half life 2 episode 1, 2 were really half life 3

  • @Metaflux317 me 2

  • @faszika mass effect 2 came out in 2010 which is classed as a new decade i aggree though mass effect 2 my fave ever game hl2 2nd

  • no...not me

  • What? You said "you werent just paying attention" and I awnserd "Could have been so, yes"

  • Totally, but RE4 is pretty close...

  • @gojira12345678910

    re4..? On wat, pc or console?

  • @blazilfrazil2

    I do, mostly because Mass Effect 2 is in the new decade.

  • @blazilfrazil2 definitley hl2 is the best (and moddable considering the communities ability to make it better

  • @blazilfrazil2 hell no. I hate the part where you have to jump over the sand or else the ant lions come out. I hate a lot of other parts too, but mainly that part. If there weren't so many parts like that, it would be the game of the decade. And if it had more original weapons.

  • @crazyzach5 that was FUN idk wat ur talking about, its a challenge

  • @blazilfrazil2 Yes, the best game ive ever played :)

  • @blazilfrazil2

    I do

  • @blazilfrazil2 Yup it deserves it.

  • @blazilfrazil2 i do

  • @blazilfrazil2 Almost.

  • @blazilfrazil2 No, it was maybe in the fps category, but then mgs4 came out. That game far surpasses half life 2

  • @blazilfrazil2

    I do, and PC gamer does too

  • @blazilfrazil2 HELL YES I AGREE

  • @blazilfrazil2 i do :)

  • @blazilfrazil2 Deus ex

  • @blazilfrazil2 I agree completely.

  • @blazilfrazil2 ya it is a game of the decade but not the game of the decade there was way to many great games 2 name 1 as the game of the decade

  • is for fkin 360!?

  • Yeah... the review sucks... The story is great.

  • css comes with this game

  • @Daggbm what? no.

  • 9.2? it deservs 20!! LOL

  • That review is a bit stupid, he says that the game isnt groundbreaking at all, but the gravity gun is nothing but groundbreaking...

  • what's wrong with this guy??!

    i know css is fucking awesome but this an hl2 review

  • wow this review sucks he didnt even give any credit to the gravity gun which is one of the most ground breaking guns in all of gaming

  • so wot if its hard or easy...jus kick some zombie asss  yyyeeaahhh.... best part is using the shotguns on zombies...it makes them fly xD
