which you use to create a pathway between two points.
You're put through a series of tests from very easy to hair pulling brain confounding to just downright frustrating. The game is set in a science training facility. and this helps to make it a unique puzzle solving experience, with a quirky science fiction atmosphere, and witty commentary to boot. This game makes the unusual choice of using the First Person Perspective - common in shooters but not in puzzle games. It's a bit of a walk in the park on normal too - I only died 3 times Jung, and one of those was because my neighbors one eyed cat jumped on my keyboard.Īhhh. and I also love the Half Life mechanic of letting you do stuff whilst a cut scene is going on.īut BAJO, if you don't count the strider buster sticky grenades, there's no new weapons and only a handful of new monsters. I'm looking at you HALO3!Įven though the Source engine has been around for a while now, visually, episode 2 is far from dated - it's all in the detail - the way characters eyes follow you, how they move out of your way and apologise when you bump into them, how Alex jumps into your car a few different ways are all small things on their own, but added together, they make the universe feel more real.Įvery single room has been filled with clutter, like old computers, posters, and we even found a gnome. And it's great to see tree's that aren't 2D sprites stuck on a 3D pole. There's heaps more destruction now - barns you once cowered in get blasted to bits, and bridges and lifts react to how much weight is on them. It's these types of techniques, along witty dialogue that really sets half life apart from other FPS games. It's more gruesome too, often placing you in a room where a lot of fighting has gone on, leaving you to make up your own mind about what happened. it definitely has more atmosphere than the previous eps. I must say, I saw you jump out of your seat a few times there BAJO. I agree and it has more of a thrilling, horror feel, especially in early levels. Main characters are taken out of action early on, which raises the emotional stakes. Once again, he's got a lot of obstacles his way.
Now, it's up to Freeman to get to the resistance base, and get the Combine portal closed for good. In Half Life: Episode 1 we left Freeman and his sidekick Alyx hurtling along a train escaping the Citadel's dark fusion reactor as it was going postal. Let's kick things off with our mute friend Gordon Freeman, getting to rise and shine, once again. Valves latest offering that includes three games Half Life Episode 2, the mini game Portal and the much anticipated Team Fortress 2.
