Half-Life follows the adventures of unlikely hero Gordon Freeman. An employee of M.I.T's top-secret weapons research department, Freeman finds himself caught up in the middle of an alien invasion. Grabbing whatever weapons come to hand, Half-Life is revealed to be a stunning first-person shooter title, wherein the player guides Gordon as he picks his way through his shattered office and eventually takes the fight to the alien invaders - uncovering a worrying conspiracy in the process...
Featuring a wealth of high-tech weaponry, Half-Life for PC is rightly considered to be the ultimate first-person title - and Vivendi's PlayStation 2 conversion is even better. All-new AI ensures the aliens react in believable ways, while the new 'Decay' co-operative mode lets two players work together to repel the alien menace. Half-Life for PlayStation 2 will also boast 12 exclusive 'Death Match' stages, wherein up to four players can compete in a series of 'last man standing' battles.
Half-Life - believe the hype.
