There is extensive use of lighting, shadows, and sounds. There is nothing like the howl of an evolved head-crab zombie to completely freeze a player in his tracks. The giant spidery Striders never fail to be both threatening and awe-inspiring. But it's not all about eye-candy.

From its opening moments to its spectacular closing sequences, Half-Life 2 assaults you with a variety of gameplay styles and memorable moments, all executed with amazing precision. Half-Life 2 may not reinvent the first-person shooter, but improves on the original game in almost every way, and brings one major innovation to the table whose effects will likely be felt for years to come.
