To enjoy the game, you have to let go of the graphics. The negative reviews seem to all say the same thing: Bad graphics, how they don't understand the story, and that the character movement is difficult to manage. You can never take any little task for granted in this game if something happens normally a two or three times, its a prime target for some sort of unexpected jump. Aliens can teleport in at any time, you walk around a corner and you are assaulted on all sides, an unseen headcrab jumps at your face, something completely unexpected happens. This game keeps you on your feet the entire time. My favorite thing about Half Life is its adrenaline moments. I leaves you with exactly enough to get by a point in the game to make you FEEL that you might run out. Half Life seems to give you just enough ammo for Favorite Gun X that you have to pick and choose when you want to use it while still allowing you to use it when you want without fear that you will be left defenseless. I also impressed with the amount of ammo you get throughout the duration of the game. For me, in different situations I liked to whip out Weapon X to confront Guy A and then switch to Weapon Y to finish off Alien B, or altogether stay back and pick them off with Weapon Z. One thing that I was really impressed about was the variety of weapons one found. After thinking about it for a bit, I have decided that it is one of the best single-player games I have ever played, if not for but everything other than the graphics (which doesn't even matter, after one stops obsessing over them and remember exactly when it was made). At that moment I realized, after making me do nothing but game on that one game all day, two days in a row(which I try never to let happen), that Half Life was exactly what everyone told me it would be. The story kept my full attention and I had to be called for dinner. I launched it expecting to play an hour, but was surprised when 3 o'clock rolled around and I hadn't eaten anything! The very next day, I started it up telling myself I wouldn't let that happen again. I became so immersed in the story that I didn't have any spare thoughts to give. I laughed a bit at the graphics at the beginning, but I don't think I thought about them again after the 10 minute mark. The first thing that hit me (playing it in 2013) was the graphics (produced 1998). I became so immersed in the story that I didn't have any spare thoughts to I first bought this game because I heard so many good things about it that I HAD to see it for myself. I first bought this game because I heard so many good things about it that I HAD to see it for myself. The best part of this game is its told entirely from the players point of view and there is not a single cut scene in the whole game. While i wont go to deep into a detail about it, here is a small rundown aliens are attacking earth and you need to escape the base black mesa. The final part for my review is the story and what a story it has. The wide variety of enemies from small little headcrabs to soldiers working as a team are great, a few boss fights and platforming sections later in the game bring this score down to a 9.7 out of 10. As for the game play its very good for the most part. The sound is really good for the most part, there are a few lines of dialogue from people that sound to fake, but as for alien howls and guns going off there great. The Graphics for the time were amazing, now days they aren't very special but i'd give them a 10 out of 10 like they were given back in 1998. The games mapping is very good and almost every level looks unique and different. The sound is really good for the most part, there are a few lines of dialogue from people that Half Life is an amazing game that has very few flaws.
