Holy Sausage reviews HALF-LIFE!

In this 10-minute review, I go into detail about the game i base my lego series on, HALF-LIFE. I will be looking at some of the gameplay, the graphics, sound, presentation and overall quality of the game. This review took me a few hours to record, and about 6 to edit. It's my first ever review of anything, and I think i did well, but I'll see how people react to it.

I will give my own opinion on the game's features, its strengths and weaknesses, and why it was so important. At the end, after having discussed the game's main features, I will give it a score.

You said that the game had little innovation. That is true, but is that really a con? They didn't use any pathetic gimmicks- they just took what was already there and improved on it- and that, my freinds, is why half life is great.

[HolySausage]

@MagicBeastHide I guess you have a point there. What I'm saying is that HL was in no way revolutionary. It was just a damn good game.

@HolySausage Is it worth a buy is fun? ps am getting it on the dreamcast.

[HolySausage]

@steve5123456789 If you're getting HL for the fun factor, I'd recommend the PC. The game really plays best by far on a computer and isn't really made for a console experience. In additon, on the PC you'll have easily accessible Multiplayer and thousands of mods to choose from :)

definately worth a lot mroe than the 10 bucks it costs.

@HolySausage

what half life did is, it was a game where you're constantly playing from gordon freeman's perspective. there are no cutscenes, there are no levels. the game is a continuous adventure from start to finish. that was never utilized before to the extend half life did.

also, the game setting was probably the most realistic of any fps yet. the game starts with you going to work. an accident happens etc.. weapons, enemies and the whole setting was belieavable unlike in previous fps.

[HolySausage]

@avatarion these things are true; and the game was praised for these tweaks. however, it was not groundbreaking or revolutionary by any means, as most FPS continued in the arcade style you mention for several years. only when the gameplay allowed it would shooters take a more 'serious' approach like HL did.

Ofcourse later games drew their inspiration from this game, but there's a difference between revolutionizing the genre and setting a standard.

@HolySausage HL was revolutionary, as no other game went in that direction at the time :/

This has to be my favorite game. I played it so much in the late nineties and i even bought a new version later on. The intro were Gordon is on this metro train going through the base was very good. The enemies and characters were interesting. The different level designs were excellent i can remember looking for the way out so many times. my onel regret is. I never actually finished the game.
