Half-Life is the game of the year and rightfully so. I have played this game non-stop since the day I bought it With it's various user created modifications and dazzling gameplay and graphics, you simply cannot NOT play this game!
The plot is brilliant and amazing. You are a scientist on a regular day at work when everything goes haywire. Now it's up to you to fix it. On a christian standpoint, the gore level is medium. There are absolutely NO satanic influences except for the violence which is to be expected in a game like this.
This is an excellent game and if you don't have it on your shelf at home, the only question is, why not? Gauldin, age A problem with this type of brutal and self-serving world is it's hard to withdraw yourself from it.
Its either "crawl through the vents to avoid some horrible accident that happened just before you arrived," or "turn on the electricity to open a door.
The plot was so-so. You've been duped into waging someone else's war on an entire alien civilization, you think taking out this big baby shaped thing is REALLY going to scare them off? I think this game is amazing. Now as for the violence, I believe another review already pointed out that their is an option to turn the blood off during gameplay. You should know that this is only available in the PC version, not the consoles. Even when the blood is on, it's not really that bad compared to other FPS's.
Most of the blood you will see will be on walls and floors. It sounds worse than it actually is. If you're wondering, the blood does look realistic. It's a realistic game. That's the whole point. Weapons you use are: A crowbar, a pistol, Magnum revolver Dirty Harry gun , crossbow, grenades, sub-machine guns, shotgun, rocket launcher.
The enemies use sniper rifles, as well as some of the above. Citizens are beaten with stun batons by cops. Which you then have to kill. Zombies and blood are usually working together in this game, as they the zombies can be found lying down in a puddle of it a result of the headcrab attack before getting up and trying to claw at your face. One of the levels is entirely zombie-oriented, as is by far the bloodiest. That level is not for the faint of heart. If your child is easily scared, make sure to tell them not to go to Ravenholm.
Good role models: The character you play as is Dr. Gordon Freeman. He is well known for being resourceful in times of extreme pessimism, as well as being a good leader. This makes him unique from the classic soldier kind of video game hero, and because of this he's a bit of an icon in the video game community. After all, just look at my profile picture. However, this probably has less to do with the game itself than the fact that this was the first FPS i ever played.
And the first 'mature' game. If their is any risk of your child presumably younger screwing around with guns, i. More importantly, if you have a kid, you shouldn't have a gun at all. But I won't get into that As a final note, I would like to discuss the general atmosphere of the game. From the moment you arrive in City 17, you have this feeling that something has changed; something is wrong. The game takes place in a near-future earth that has been forcefully taken over by an inter-galactic empire known as the Combine.
To citizens they are represented by the metro-cops that walk the streets, terrorizing anyone and everyone. Humanity has been completely enslaved, except for Dr.
Breen, the human figure-head leader of Combine earth, and the One Free Man. Breen records "Breencasts" which are displayed throughout the city one huge monitors, spewing propaganda in an attempt to shape the minds of the people below. Due to Combine technology, humans can no longer reproduce, ensuring that the current generation will also be the last.
There ain't no rainbows in this game. Just the mood might be too much for some younger players. Educational Value. Read my mind. Kid, 11 years old July 31, I think if you like scary fighting games then you should play this. Teen, 13 years old Written by Ryan January 2, There is blood and gore, but most games have that! I think it should be rated T :P. Teen, 13 years old Written by CaptHalo April 9, This title contains: Ease of Play.

Kid, 11 years old July 12, Just wow. Pavlov no one too. Last edited by Daniel ; 4 Apr, pm. Flaninty View Profile View Posts. I would assume 13 or older. Every single HL game has been rated M. Oddar View Profile View Posts. Certainly no one below 14 should play it, but I think a fear rating is probably more important.
Some adults may not be able to handle it. Certainly there are scarier games out there, but the VR immersion greatly amplifies the fear, particularly the sequences in the dark with a small flashlight.
