Half Life 2: Episode 2 is better than the first episode, the levels are more difficult, but also more fun to play. The story is good, the AI in general is more polished, especially Alyx. The only reason that made me (and many other) 'hate' this game is the ending. As a guy who beat the original Half Life only 4 years ago,and Episode 2 just a few months ago I now join the tortured souls of those who are waiting for a sequel.

And we are getting one.
