 Top 5 XBox game October 12, 2008
This is one of the best FPS ever created, now it's ported for the XBox. Great storyline, great action, great weapons. The utilization of real-world physics puzzles gives this game an added dimension that other shooters don't have. The ability to utilize environmental objects as weapons is great, too. The story is so great that replaying the game is like watching a great movie for a second time. The game is proof that there are great looking shooters with compelling storylines.
9.99 across the board!!! October 1, 2008
Half life 2 is by FAR the best FPS I have ever played. To me it blows HALO out of the water. I got addicted to this game and could not stop playing. I got sick of Halo pretty quick becuase of the stupid looking aliens in that game. Half life is def more real and sometimes you actually get chills from the realism. EVERYONE needs to get this game! The only thing I can think of that I dont like is sometimes I get stuck in doorways for a sec and nothing is there to block me, same goes for croutching and crawling forward through vents and stuff. Other that that, 9.99 baby!!!
 Good but short August 31, 2008
Really enjoyed this game, good graphics and story line. Wish it was a little longer and that you could play more than one player. Middle levels challegeing but end level to easy.
A very disappointing port of a great game. April 15, 2008
The Xbox can't handle Half-Life 2 plain and simple. That is the source of our problems here. The graphics aren't as good as they are on the PC. They look fuzzy, and at times some areas of the game look almost unfinished. The controls are uncomfortable and are not done well compared to other console FPS games. Playing Gordon feels spastic and overall very sloppy. There are also glitches everywhere.One minute you're jumping on a box trying to get up, then you get stuck, then you magically teleport to where you were trying to jump to and the box is gone.The worst of all is the frame rate. It is absolutely horrible. At times it makes the game unplayable. I seriously didn't even finish he game because of how crappy the frame rate was. The only reason this game is rated above a 4.0 is that I have played the PC version and know how great it can be, so the parts that weren't totally screwed up really shine and brought my rating up 2.5 points. Just go out and buy The Orange Box, its a much better console version of the game that fixes all the problems of this version, not to mention it also includes the expansions, tam fortress 2, and portal.
Style with little substance. March 14, 2008

Visually this is one of the most impressive games out there, and is pretty much the only element that makes it worth playing. People keep praising how good the story is. Nonsense! This game has very little in story, it has ACTION SET PIECES. Much of them are quite interchangeable with each other, within each of the main acts you pretty much shuffle them around and it wouldn't make much difference. For example, the early chase sequences all look like the L.A. river/Sepulveda basin. The main character is basically a non-entity, so why would he have such a following in that world? You're character seems to contribute very little to the events except for the finale. With all the attention they made to character models you can't even interact with them like in the first game. The A.I. is bad, and clearly scripted which looks more apparent on open sized levels.
