Would still like to see more DeusEx style gameplay in a brilliant setting like HL2 but as it is, even in it's somewhat 'short' episode 2 HL2 is still a shining beacon of PC gaming (and now 360 too) and has tonnes of polish and gameplay. So aside from it's more static, less dynamic nature (compared to Crysis) it's easily as good or better than any of the other top rated FPS games from the last 5 years. (Crysis is a different beast where YOU provide the cinematics through your own actions which is on another level of brilliance found in no other shooter). When it comes to gameplay it's solid and you play through with little thought or worry and just enjoy it for what it is. Up until I played crysis I believed this was about as good as we got with modern FPS games, but it doesn't quite match up to the brilliance in Crysis, except in the plot/story in which it probably surpasses crysis.
The graphics look better and the lighting in places is 'almost real' really hightens the sense of immersion. Now EP2 has distilled all the great parts of HL2 and layered on some astounding cinematics and atmosphere. Not that HL2 wasn't a good game but it wasn't as amazing as most people made out, still very good though. The graphics look better and the lighting in places is 'almost real' Let me start by saying EPISODE 2 is far, far more pleasing to play than vanilla HL2.
