Half Life 2: Episode One vs iFighter 1945
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
iFighter 1945
iFighter 1945 is the earlier, original first game developed by EpicForce Entertainment - the later game being iFighter 2: The Pacific 1942. The game is still set in World War II where you play as an Allies ace pilot who has been given a critical mission to destroy the Axis' secret weapon prototypes. The campaign in this game is spread across 8 challenging missions, each with 3 difficulty settings and an intense boss fight at the very end.You also get to pilot one of 5 fighter jets which can be further upgraded and customnized as well. Similar to the later sequel, the game features 4 control modes, ranging from touch controls to joypad.
Granted that iFighter 1945 is the older game and thus, has older-looking graphics, the game surprisingly holds up even until today. If you've loved playing iFighter 2 and would like to take a step back to try the first game, well... this is it!
