This game sucks you in and doesn't let go. Every detail has been attended too. See those barrels, that look like they can be moved? Guess what-THEY CAN BE!
The physics engine is nothing short of brilliant. Everything acts as you would expect in the real world.
The facial animations are great, as are the amazing textures (you'll wonder around with your flash light every time you find a new texture to explore).
The game play is fast and fun, but still has puzzles like the original.
I don't know what game these cranks are talking about, but from what I understand they do not know enough to get rid of graphic card specific problems and thus didn't like the game. The problem is their rig, drivers, or setting, not HL2. Plus, HL2 doesn't even have that high a system requirements. It runs better than doom 3 but looks far better.
verdict: **** (four stars out of four)
