Strengths: Amazing story, great action, intelligent puzzles
Weakness: Older graphic engine
The story of Gordon Freeman and the Black Mesa facility are told in Half-Life. It's a port of the PC game onto the PS2, with some graphical improvements. Gordon Freeman is the everyman scientist who must fight against an invading alien horde, among other hazards in Black Mesa. The narrative and story are amazingly well done, with plenty of action and puzzles along the way. Compared to other...
Strengths: -incredible story - good control -logical puzzles -super fun
Weakness: -controls a bit to tight -graphics are dated
GAMEPLAY: 8/10 GRAPHICS: 7/10 SOUND: 9/10 VALUE: 10/10 OVERALL: 8/10 Head to Head, a and 2 player modes Great sound Cool enemies Dated graphics, but not to bad Loved it Fun to play No frustration!!! Good FPS, 3rd Best FPS of PS2 next to Metal Gear Solid and Medal of Honor WORTH IT
Strengths: Amazing single player first person shooter game, updated graphics, immersive story and gameplay.
Weakness: None
This game is the epitome of what FPS are. Even though the game itself came out years ago on the P.C. it hasn't aged one bit in that all other FPS take some elements from this game and expound on it. You play the role of Gordan Freeman, and you start off with nothing. At the time, this was unheard of in a FPS game. Your first real "weapon" is a crow-bar. But, as you progress in the game you get...
Strengths: Storyline, game play, can be played with USB keyboard/mouse, extra co-op mission, quick-save function
Weakness: Graphics
In my opinion, the best FPS on the PS2 and it is approaching 5 years old. This game has a lot of things working for it. The storyline is fantastic; anybody that has played the PS2 or PC versions of the game will know that I am talking about. The game play is also great and so are the controls. Even better, since the PS2 supports USB, with an optional USB keyboard and mouse, you can play this game...
Strengths: Excellent sci-fi FPS, compelling characters and story, intelligent puzzles
Weakness: Not as good as PC original, dated graphics
Half-Life has enjoyed consumer and critical acclaim for years now on the PC (even spawning a much-anticipated sequel), so it only seemed right that the consoles would get a port. Unfortunately, it's a few years late to arrive (and the graphics are a tad outdated), but the epic sci-fi adventure/shooter that everyone loved on PC remains pretty much intact on PS2. If you like first person shooters...

In Half-Life you take on the role of Gordon Freeman, a research associate in the anomalous materials lab. Everything takes place in a decommissioned missile base known as the Black Mesa Research Facility where a top secret project goes terribly awry in an attempt to open a portal to another dimension. With the technology of the PlayStation 2 many PC games are crossing over to catch the gamers...

Not that I'm a big PC gamer mind you, but it was hard to miss Half-Life when it practically stoked a revolution three years on the PC. When everybody was crazy with multiplayer Quake II, little known Valve turned the first-person shooter genre on its head with ingenious single-person gameplay, phenomenal story-telling techniques, and some of the subtlest and funny characters in a game of its...

Half-Life
Strengths: This Game is Long. Very, very long. And fun, oh, so fun.
Weakness: None
This game is almost perfect! I say 'almost' because if I had a keyboard and mouse, it would be, but I don't. The single player game is very long and keeps you coming back for more. With a good amount of weapons to choose from and fairly easy puzzles to figure out, it runs along smoothly. In addition to the main game. A co-op version was included. It is about twelve levels long, with you and a...
