 It's a shame September 30, 2008
The installation process is really hard even if you have a decent Internet Conection, so much troubles for a game! Don get this wrong, its a very very good and intelligent game, even better than others recently release, but what it's the meaning of buying a DVD disc if you have to download the game from a server on the internet..thats make no sense. It's a shame !
 Best story in a FPS in my humble opinion August 21, 2008
First of all, HL changed FPS forever. The developers were actually smart enough to put in a good story to a FPS. At least in my opinion it's a great story.
HL2 just followed on and got the player more immersed in the plot. The graphics are beautiful, unlike what some other people have stated and gameplay is superb. It is action packed, from beginning to end. The fact that you get to drive different vehicles, adds a nice touch to the game alo.
So, in a nutshell, the game deserves all stars because it's got great gameplay, great sound, good voice acting, beautiful graphics and an awesome plot.
Excellent first person shooter game. August 19, 2008
Fun game. Kind of short, but a lot of fun. Steam is a necessary but extremely dumb required add in to the play the game.
Seriously, don't buy it used or it won't work! July 3, 2008

I have no idea how the game is because I bought it from an Amazon marketplace seller and now the "Steam" anti-piracy protection system won't let me play it.
I went to the Steam support pages like I was told to, and I read this:
"... you must have a copy of your purchase receipt from within the last 90 days to have the CD Key moved to your account.
"We do not accept receipts from online auction websites or used software vendors. If you do not provide a purchase receipt, Valve will not be able to transfer the CD Key."
I can't believe that anyone accepts this as a reasonable way to sell consumers a game in a box, but I guess they do!
I read a thread on some Half-Life 2 forum where the users were telling a guy not to bother Valve, the software creators, with questions about their policy, but rather just to return his used game to whoever he bought it from.
Unbelievable!
From what I hear, maybe if I send the right person at Valve an actual photo of my box, and wait two months, I might be allowed to play. However, that's certainly not what the text on the Steam support page says.
If this is really the accepted practice regarding used copies of Half-Life 2, then what is Amazon doing letting their marketplace sellers sell these used copies?
Unbelievable! How much research is one supposed to do when buying a game?
Simply the best FPS ever April 28, 2008

Ignore the 1 or 2 star comment this game is the best ever.
Pros:
Excellent Graphics
Well thought out and original story line
Challenging and makes you think
Suspensful
Gravity Gun
And don't get me started on DOG.
Cons:
None
But it does not end here, buy episodes 1 and 2. They add to the fun.
But I REALLY, EXTREMLY RECOMMEND BUYING THE ORANGE BOX.
It includes Half Life 2 and episode 1-2, Portal(fun and challenging puzzle game), and Team Fortress 2 For only 60$!!!
