Half Life 2: Episode 2 Review

HL2 : Episode 2

Though it came out yesterday, I have just got a hold of the game; its really something; heres my minor review on it:

Graphics - 9/10

The updated version of the source engine; you can tap that, the graphics are superbly well done, HDR still holds its umph, I could not find visual bugs or glitches; though the graphics are not super-top end (i.e. Bioshock), but its still something.

Gameplay - 8/10

Though I am getting tired of the gravity gun, I still love it. One thing I love of the HL series, is that they keep what works, and add more. Though sometimes the game can get a little bit tedious, it is definitely a fine example of an episodic game.

Controls/Sounds - 10/10

Keeping to the WASD form (as any FPS would do)the game plays fine, though the learning curve is a little bit tough for beginners. The game uses the same sounds from HL2, but adds a bit more, everything is well blended; and immerses you in the gameplay.

Average Score: 9/10
