Half-Life 2 is a great, solid FPS but I never felt it was the greatest game ever. It has some great characters and art direction, but the story doesn't really go anywhere.

As a Marathon fan I was shocked when people raved about the story in HL1. I mean, yes, it had lots more to it than Doom, but really, where was the character development? Where were the characters? Great game, great atmosphere, it teased some lore, but really, story wise, it was kind of flat for me.

HL2 got much better.
