Gordon Freeman is a real man and the perfect husband for Alex, I think! The bastard is silent and does everything! Class! Not a single word during the entire game! Compared to the first part, the game has a lot of new things!
PROS:
The game uses an excellent source engine that presents the game in a new light! Explosions, physics, detail - all this is coolly implemented and looks at the highest level! I also want to note how well the game is optimized...it will run even on the weakest computers! And by the way, the game has been completely translated into Russian - this is very convenient and, by the way, at the time when it came out this was rare! I liked the variety in the game! Run and shoot, race in cars and boats, tame spiders and kill alliance soldiers - all this and more is present in the game! Yes, the game does not have an open world, but sometimes there are interesting Easter eggs that supposedly demonstrate the physics of the game! For example, putting something on the scale that will lower the desired item for you... well, this is a small thing, but an interesting little thing! I really liked the gravity gun! I played most of the game with her!
CONS:
Weak weapons! There is no variety, but even less you can find your favorite gun! Bots have a bit of stupid intelligence! They rush forward, and don’t care about anything! In city 17 I tried to save everyone who was supposedly in partnership with me.... but no matter how hard I tried, they ran as quickly as possible to kill everyone and die!

I'm looking forward to HL3, but it seems to me that my grandchildren will already play it))) Because old Gabe is in no hurry even with the announcement. Although I am sure that the organization is most likely developing the 3rd part.
