Advantages: Improved graphics, More modes then before

Disadvantages: same game

Half –life a classic for the pc, this game was awarded one of the best games award in December 1998.
Half-life is now being released on the Playstation 2 making the best use of the PS2 engine. Before on the PC the Half-life engine used for the graphics wasn’t that good, and many other games such as quake and unreal all had better graphics engine to run the game.
Despite having a bad engine, it was still one of the best games on the PC around and is still highly popular amongst many people, especially with all the different MODS (Modifications) for the game such as CS (Counter-Strike), TFC (Team Fortress Classic) DoD (Day of Defeat) and many more.
Although the Playstation 2 may not have Internet access now, it is under development and will make many games like Half-Life more enjoyable by many people.
Half-Life is a single player game the game is a long story about a man called Gordon Freeman, who works the Black Mesa company, they carry out highly dangerous experiments and during one of there experiments a accident happened and this caused an unforeseen consequence, and aliens entered the world, now you play as Gordon Freeman to help him escape this endless nightmare of mutated aliens, each trying to get a bit of your blood. With some complex puzzles and some very hard challenges, the monsters have been changed to a new look, so it is different from the original game, also one of the newest and best features of Half-life on the playstation 2 is that there is now Co-operative mode, this is a mode where you get to play through the single player game, with a friend, by split screen.
Multiplayer mode has also been added, where you can have up to four player multiplayer madness on the same screen, rather then connecting through the Internet and playing with being around the world.
Half-life has been changed a lot since the first appearance on the PC back in 1998, if you are a PC owner and haven’t played this game yet, and has a PS
2 you should get this excellent first person shooter, it is a must to your collection of excellent games.

One thing you said on the pc that the half Life engine was not that good compared to quake - if you check I am sure that this game was built with the Quake engine making gameplay and graphics equally capable to its rival game

Half-life - what a game. I didn't think the graphics were that bad though.
