The game itself admits this halfway through, when it broadcasts the message telling the guards that if they can’t deal with one puny physicist in an orange suit, then they are officially retarded. “Where was the virtual world where everything I did had an effect on everything else, and my every action would influence the game in a magical and unique way?”Įither I am the perfect killer and assassin and an intellectual marvel… or else the AI is pretty damn stupid.

“Where was the physics engine that was to make every single thing in the game destructible, opening up a whole new world of gaming?” “Where was the enemy AI that was allegedly so ****-hot it could get inside my brain and psycho-analyze me and know my every move before I did?” “Had I gotten some defective, retarded version of the game?” Questions had arisen and they needed immediate answering. Having completed the game a few days back, I quit the application (as the final credits rolled) and slumped back in my chair absolutely sickened. I don’t want to drag this out for too long so let me just say that the game has been sold on a foundation of deceit, lies and fancy marketing. I just cant see how anyone could possibly derive any kind of real enjoyment from this game seeing as how it’s identical in every way to every single first person shooter ever produced before it. At this stage I’m convinced that every single one of those reviewers is severely mentally retarded.

Unfortunately every single reviewer has felt the need to give this game as many accolades as possible. Looking at the reviews, you’d think it had delivered in spades. The ultimate, next-generation, first person shooting game that will finally show off how far we have come in these last few years. Ironic, given the fact that this game has been heralded as the savior of computer games. The following was sent in by a good friend of mine & is probably the most negative review of Half-Life 2 you'll find anywhere just to be clear again, this is NOT my review, I merely offer this as an interesting counterpoint to all the praise other reviews have offered.Īs a game, Half-Life 2 might very well be the game that puts me off all computer games for a long, long time.

Half life 2 sucks
