Product Information

When "Half-Life" was released on the PC in 1998, it changed the first-person shooter genre almost instantly. "Half-Life" was one of the first games to combine first-person combat with a rich story. In "Half-Life," players step into the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a scientist who is accidentally transported to a damaged research facility. This facility also happens to be filled with hostile aliens and government agents bent on keeping their terrible secrets. In 2001, Valve, with the help of Gearbox Software, ported the title to the PlayStation 2. This version of "Half-Life" on the PS2 includes everything you'd find on the PC version. The story is identical to the original release, and the same enemies are present and accounted for. This shooter offers a single-player style that challenges both shooting skills and puzzle solving. Build a staircase out of abandoned supplies or complete a maze of moving conveyor belts to move forward in the game. Killing aliens will give Dr. Freeman extra weapons and supplies. Meanwhile, the G-man watches over your gaming progress. "Half-Life" is not split into levels. Instead, the game always moves forward with the entire game being interconnected.The PS2 version isn't just a straight port as it includes a number of improvements. The most noticeable of these is the graphical facelift the title received. Each section of the game received new textures and improved models. In particular, each character model received a massive overhaul. Both the humans and enemies have eyes that will track your movement across a room. The characters also feature more detailed facial expressions and are more capable of showing anger, fear, and annoyance. The character models have individual, jointed fingers as well. As you play through the game, you'll notice it runs smoothly. "Half-Life" for the PlayStation 2 is a very stable version of the game. Issues previous versions may have had were taken care of for the PlayStation 2 version. Like other PlayStation 2 games, an auto-aim feature is included to make aiming easier. Brackets have also been placed on items and characters the player can interact with. Some controls, such as jumping, have also been simplified and made easier to use in this release.The PS2 port of "Half-Life" features an exclusive co-op mode you won't find anywhere else. "Half-Life: Decay" allows two players to take on the roles of Dr. Gina Cross and Dr. Colette Green. In "Decay," both players will need to fight against the alien invaders and close the rifts appearing in our world. This game type isn't the only exclusive content this port offers either. There is an unlockable alien mission where you play as one of Gordon Freeman's enemies.If you're a fan of the "Half-Life" series of games, this PlayStation edition is a must-have item. The enhanced graphics and exclusive modes are the definitive way to experience this classic game. It's easy to see why this title won multiplayer awards on both the PC and PlayStation systems. A copy of this classic is just what should be added to your collection of games.

  • First person shooter Half-Life

    Perhaps one of the best first person shooters of all time, Half-Life comes alive with cool and exciting environments, interesting characters, fun and creative gameplay, customizable settings, and tough enemies. You begin the game as a researcher and it's your first day on the job at a secret government research facility set in the American southwest desert. Of course this research goes wrong and now the entire facility is crawling with aliens. What to do now? Pickup the nearest crowbar and first-aid kit survive the best you can. Quickly you'll find a handgun and shotgun and as the game progresses an assault rifle with a grenade launcher (my favorite) rocket launchers, landmines, sticky bombs and even alien weapons later in the game. Other characters will help and fight with you at times. The researchers will give you first aid or help you solve puzzles and the security guards will fight and they hold their own. The aliens early on aren't too tough but become more difficult as the game progresses. The human enemies however are very tough. The government sends in special forces to clean up the mess and they've come to kill aliens and humans alike. The A.I. is very good as you can tell your friends what to do they'll do it and the enemies especially the special forces will talk to each other and attack you with coordination or take cover and shoot at you. This where the grenade launcher comes in the handy. The environment really stands out as the game takes place mostly inside this research facility which is quite diverse interesting to make your way through. Watch out for traps set by enemies. Later in the game you'll need to venture outside into the desert. What I like about this game is that it has good lighting, no scrambling for flashlights, most games like this is in the dark. Another good thing is the length, as exploring this vast facility seems to never end. This is great first person shooter from this generation of gaming or for any generation. A classic like this never gets old if you you've never played or have but want to relive it's definitely worth playing.

  • Great game that never lost its appeal

    In an age in which anyone can not only play "Half-Life" in HD on PC, but also play the fantastic improved remake "Black Mesa" on PC, you might wonder why anyone would want to play the old Playstation 2 port. Well, because it's fun, of course! In all seriousness, the game looks pretty good when played on a backwards-compatible PS3 on an HD TV. It offers widescreen support and full control customization, meaning the controls can be reworked to modern standards. If you prefer console to PC (like I do) and still want to experience Half-Life, then this is a legitimately good option.

    Great old game. Glad to have it again. This wasn't in 'very good' condition to me but whatever, it plays perfectly.

  • One of the greatest games of all time - good console port

    Graphics hold up very well, controls are great and they even have mouse + keyboard support. If you can't play on PC for whatever reason, this port will absolutely scratch the itch. I'm surprised how well the controls work (auto jump+crouch and all)! One of the best, a must have!

  • My son is happy with this

    My 14-year-old son earned this game. I just did the ordering. He says the graphics are better than what he expected, and the game play is awesome. He had seen a video of someone playing the game, before we ordered it, and he said it looked pretty good, but when he actually got the game and played it himself, he was impressed by its quality.

  • Great game!

    This is a really good game! The first time I played this game was on the computer and I thought it was great then. I found out that it was for PS2 and decided to buy it. It is great on PS2! Would definitely recommend this game.

  • Very immersive.

    Had the original counterstrike half life. Never could get it to work because of dial up Internet. Only recently reattempted the half life series and boy did I miss out.

  • Console Life!

    This is actually a great port. They added manual lock on targeting to make it playable on the dualshock 2, and the models and lighting received nice graphical updates. But really, the main reason to own this, even if you already have the PC version, is the two bonus modes. Decay, which is a coop extra campaign (that you can play by yourself if you have patience and I recommend doing so), and a secret mode where you play a few levels as a Vortigaunt. It's good fun, and worth the low cost of entry.
