THE GOOD:
Tonnes of blow your socks off weapons! Great range of enemys and all with graphics that arn't great but hey, they don't offend your eyes!

THE BAD:
Perhaps a limited amount of in game choices!

SUMMARY:
To put it simply this game kicks ass!
Many people have the opinion that it is not such a good game and yes they are entitled to there opinions but there reasons are all wrong. The graphics for example, graphics help make a game good but are not the only things that make a game good! You have to look at all the facts and figures and weigh up the pros and cons, for example, the graphics arn't great but the lifespan, characters/foes and the weapons are great!
This game allows you to run round killing alien foes to your hearts content and to play a great strategy game at the same time!

This game is also great as the price is a very neat £15-£25 (Much cheaper if you get it on PC)

Also look out for Half Life Generations...

THE GOOD:
Tons of combat, bad-ass weapons, connected levels, puzzles, good story, challenging (by 3D standards)

THE BAD:
Looks kinda dated, 2 sec loading screens every few minutes, no lock on in H2H mode.

SUMMARY:
I don't wanna hear any bitching from PC freaks who say stuff like "Half-Life for the PS2 sucks because of (lack of keyboard/mouse, no online multiplayer, no "mods" or "expansion packs", whatever the hell those are)" To those people: Shut up. You don't know anything.

This game is great. It follows a scientist named Gordon Freeman who works at the Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico. One day, he and his colleauges discover a portal to another dimension, and everyone is excited. They create some sort of material to open the portal but when they open it, all hell breaks loose and the whole damn facility gets ruined in the explosion. Your mission is to escape Black Mesa, and destroy whatever caused this disaster.

Well, considering I'm saving my money to buy Dark Cloud 2, Silent Hill 3, and Splinter Cell, I decided to rent this game over buy. And, well.. the game isn't that bad, but isn't as good as what I thought it would be. The game has a pretty good multiplayer scheme, where two people can play cooperatively in Decay mode(a mission-based game.. can be played solo), or competatively in a Deathmatch. Deathmatch, I have to say, sucked compared to better 2 player FPS games(TimeSplitters 2, etc.), because the controls were to sensitive, your character runs way too fast, there is a lack of weapons.. but anyway, one player mode is pretty good. I have to say it wasn't that bad.. but the PC version is waay better. If you have the option, buy the PC version of Half-Life.. but if you are in need of shooting a lot of cool enemies, some stupid-looking enemies, and smacking things with a crowbar, this is your game.. but I fear my relatively liking this game is an aquired taste. Rent before you buy.

THE GOOD:
great Gameplay(ps2 controler helps allot, but u cant beat a keyboard), faster than the Computer version, New Modes(decay),

THE BAD:
No patches, no online multiplayer gaming, getting stuck in a sprite and freezing

SUMMARY:
halflife rules, it is one of the best 1st person shooters ive played, almost as good as the computer version, but still, its a great game.

It is always challanging, and its fun when you cant find your way, so you blast your way out, Rambo style... hehe

and the Crowbar is one of the best melee weapons ever...

Its a great game, come to the forum and discuss it.

THE GOOD:
The story of the game revolutionalized First Person Shooter (FPS) genre.

THE BAD:
Awkward 3d graphics (apparant when turning), slow loading, and awkward controls

SUMMARY:
While Half-Life was game of the year in 1999, it was a PC game first so it lacks some of the qualities found in PC games.

I found the control awkward due to a lack of mouse. Plus, the sensitivity of the analog joystick makes it almost impossible to "walk."

But I've played both the PC version and the PS2 version, and I'd recommend this title to those who haven't had the chance to play it on a PC.

THE GOOD:
EVERYTHING!!

THE BAD:
the one thing i can complain about is the loading that happens during the game - ruins the mood!

SUMMARY:
The first game i bought the PS2...money well spent!

THE GOOD:
Why have Burnout when Gran Turismo 3's around
well
Burnout's a full-on arcade racer, punching out more thrills per second right from the start. It's not about precision driving - this is a game that actually rewards mental motoring. The more aggressive and spectacular your performance, the higher your overall 'Best Driver' score at the end of each race.
The 14 courses are spread over three main locations - USA, Europe and Oriental

THE BAD:
Heavy Game but is it better than GT3?

SUMMARY:
What a wicked game
But where's all the killings like it Grand Theft Auto
That's the thing that sadly no car game has.
