**NOTE THIS REVIEW IS WORTH READING EVEN THOUGH ITS VERY LONG** I havn't beaten the game yet, but I will say this game is one of the greatest games of all time. The story/plot given to you by none other then the creators of other great games such as TF2, Portal/Portal2, Left 4 Dead/Left 4 Dead 2 and Counter Strike is one of the most interesting stories in a game. Valve has the very best way of story telling. Not just that the gameplay is exceptionaly good The AI respond to most everything you do. It was a great game for 2004 and still is today. Now the one thing people still complain about to this day is the "GRAPHICS!!!!!!!!" Listen the graphics arent the most important part of games. I mean think about it almost everyone plays Minecraft a 2010 game yet people don't complain about its graphics. Now another question you may be asking is "Is it worth it to buy HL2 Episode 1 and 2?" My answer is yes. The story in the first game makes you really want to come back again. Which is why its such a great game. Id give this game a very great 10/10. That maybe saying a lot or over reacting. I think its the truth. My last statement of this helpful review is this... Can't wait for Half Life 3/ Half Life 2: Episode 3. **NOTE THIS REVIEW IS WORTH READING EVEN THOUGH ITS VERY LONG**
