Amazon.com Review:
Originally released in 1998, the PC version of Half-Life changed first-person shooters forever by proving that a compelling story can be told within the genre. Prior to the game's release, first-person shooters were mindless action games. Half-Life, while containing its fair share of action, also contained plenty of exploration, puzzle, and story elements. Now released as a PlayStation2 game, Half-Life has never looked or played better. This version contains the outstanding single-player story mode, as well as a few new ones. While the new additions aren't so great, the story mode is one of the best escapades available on the PS2.
The game follows the adventures of Gordon Freeman, a young research associate at the Black Mesa Federal Research Facility. A typical day at the office goes completely awry as numerous alien life forms invade the facility. The fate of the facility, and quite possibly the world, is in the hands of an unlikely hero.
The graphics here trump the original's (understandable, as more than three years have passed). The character models have four times as many polygons, as well as smoother textures and animations. The sound is also very good, with some of the funniest voice acting yet heard in a game. Of course, the single-player gameplay is excellent, thanks to some very well-developed enemy artificial intelligence.
Unfortunately, the new modes aren't nearly as brilliant. Decay, the new cooperative mode, seems like an afterthought and pales in comparison to the cooperative modes in Perfect Dark and Halo. Deathmatches only support two players, which is incredibly lame considering many PS2 first-person shooters support four. Despite these flawed modes, the single-player story is so superb that it totally warrants a purchase. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros: - Greatly improved graphics from the original
- Excellent storytelling, especially for the genre
- Strong enemy artificial intelligence
Cons: - Cooperative mode is dull
- Deathmatch only supports 2 players

I realize I'm reviewing an old game here and I'm writing this review with 2008 standards. Please keep in mind I am only reviewing the PS2 version (not PC).
If you're one of those fans considering to track this old game (on PS2) and spend lots of money on it -- don't bother wasting it.
The PS2 version is just really frustrating. Some games still look good on the PS2 even to this day. However, this game just isn't worth tracking down and playing it again, on the PS2.

Let me just say that after playing this game, you will never look at FPS games in the same way again. The PC version of this is better in every way, but that is to be expected no matter what the game is (usually this is true anyway).
From the moment you step off the underground tram, you are thrust into a world that is very dangerous, and very intriguing. This game, along with Deus Ex, has possibly the best storyline and gameplay of all time. You are in danger every second of this ... Read More

The story was good and flowed very nicely throughout the whole game, but the most suprisingly outstanding aspect of the game was the enemy AI. Not too many games out there that i've played have enemies that are smart enough to do a lot of stupid things that drove me nuts and challenge my skills, but this game did. Does anyone know any other game that have great challenging enemy AI that I can play? I'd greatly appreciate the information. And if you haven't tried the game yet, give it a try. It may ...

As most people have heard by now, Half-Life is one of those "God Like" games. I like to argue with a lot of claims like that because most are so far fetched and so far off base that it actually makes me crindge a little (*cough* Killzone being a "Halo Killer *cough*). That and all the flames that will come from it aside, lets get to the point. Half-Life not only lives up to it's hype, but it surpasses it. Especially since back in the day when the PC version first came out, there wasnt any hype for it! ... Read More

This is one of the best PS2 games ever made. I have beat both the computer version and PS2 version, so I can tell you there is only a very slight difference between the two. The graphics and game play are excellent. You also get a lot of game for your buck, it's one of the longer games out there. This game has been out for a while, but it is still one of the best there is. Diffenetly worth adding to your Ps2 collection!
