Half-Life

"Half-Life is a spectacular, rollercoaster ride of an adventure, and it’s a piece of gaming history everybody should sink their teeth into at least once. If you haven’t taken a bite though, there are cheaper, better-looking PC packages than this. A good game it most certainly is, but do you really want to spend £40 on it?"

"...minus the multiplayer goofiness, the single-player Half-life is a very successful translation onto the PS2. It's got a great story that moves you through the game creatively with ample action to keep the fraggers happy. If you've played the PC version, there is really no reason to check out this latest incarnation, but if you've never experienced the fun Half-life offers, this is your chance."

"...Half-Life is, without doubt, an essential purchase if you haven't had the unadulterated joy of playing it before - the main game is a near flawless conversion of the classic."

"As most gamers can finish this game within a five day rental period, that is about all I can recommend, and even then, for FPS addicts only."

"Using the game's first-person perspective to marvelous effect, the game manages a rare level of immersion... Our feeling is that this PS2 rev of Half-Life has the potential to be the game's definitive version."
