Half Life 2 vs Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2: Episode Two continues the storyline of Half Life 2: Episode One (obviously). Playing once again as Dr Gordon Freeman, you set off from City 17 with Alyx Vance in hopes of delivering crucial information to that's left of your fellow resistance scientists. However, to do so, you'll need to cross the dangerous White Forest while having Combine forces hot on your tail.Featuring new weapons, vehicles, and monstrous creatures, Half Life 2: Episode 2 is definitely able to satisfy the masses of fans who are hooked on one of the world's most popular classic game franchise. However, the game apparently ends with a cliffhanger and that Valve, much to the dismay of their fans, has no intentions of finishing the trilogy. This has sparked a rather huge outroar especially when it was leaked that the storyline for Episode 3 has already been written.
Regardless, this game is still a worthwhile purchase despite its years and the incomplete storyline.
