A masterpiece of epic proportions, the "Saving Private Ryan" of first-person shooters.
-
I have yet to play a more immersive game period. From the word "go", I found myself completely engulfed into the pseudo world that is unfolded before your eyes. [6 "drips"]

It isn't everyday that you come across a game that totally revolutionizes an entire genre, but Half-Life has done just that.
-
It combines a balance of tense action, puzzle solving, story, and fun that has yet to be equaled on in the FPS arena.
-
It constantly presents you with variety, surprises, and new challenges to keep you hooked. It is a tour de force in game design, the definitive single player game in a first person shooter.
-
The closest thing to a revolutionary step the genre has ever taken. Through a series of subtle and artistic design decisions, Half-Life creates a reality that is self-contained, believable, and thoroughly engaging.
-
Unfortunately, Half-Life’s puzzle-oriented play leads to some problems. On several occasions, you’ll be forced to make almost impossible jumps. The difficulty of such maneuvers finds you making 10, sometimes 15 attempts. The frustration distances you from a story that should have you absorbed.
