While Episode 2 is the second weakest Half-Life game to date (only Blue Shift was less satisfying), it's still a fun and enjoyable game nonetheless. The episode is quite short - only five hours - but it has enough variety in that time. Seasoned Half-Life players will no doubt be thrilled as several plot elements from earlier games, including one important piece of information going back to the beginning of the original Half-Life, will finally be explained and resolved, but it won't be long before as you have more questions. The final scene is just amazing, I want to know what happens next.
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is a solid game, but not as revolutionary as the previous entries in the series. However, it's possible to have a good time in this universe with familiar characters and get a few more clues as to what the hell is really going on.
