Gameplay
Plot
Kunio, a delinquent student at Nekketsu High School, comes out one day to find his friend Hiroshi being beat up by students from Hanazono High School. Kunio confronts the students and learns that their leader Riki, Kunio's longtime rival and friend, was the one who gave the order. Kunio travels to meet Riki, who denies calling the attack on Hiroshi. The culprit is revealed to be Riki's subordinates, who declare that they have joined a new organization of gang students called "Tokyo Lion Alliance" that stands poised to conquer all of Tokyo.
Accompanied by Riki, a biker gang leader named Shinji, and the physically huge girl delinquent Misuzu, Kunio travels through Tokyo fighting the various leaders of the Tokyo Lion Alliance: masked muscleman Demon Lion, the deceptively dangerous girl boss Rouge Lion, and the powerful pair known as Twin Lions. They are also frequently brought to confrontation with Silver Lion, who used to be in Shinji's biker gang until he joined under the command of the Alliance's main boss. Ultra Lion.
Kunio confronts Ultra Lion and defeats him, but Ultra Lion is shot by the true masterminds behind the Lion Alliance: the Yakuza crime boss Sabu and his older brother Lee. Seeking revenge on Kunio for being defeated in the past, Sabu kidnaps Kunio's teacher Madoka and uses her to lure him to Hong Kong, where they have a final confrontation on a movie set. Kunio defeats Sabu and Lee, rescues Madoka, and returns to his hometown with his friends.

Half-Life 2 received critical acclaim upon release, gaining an aggregated score of 96/100 on Metacritic.[17] Sources, such as GameSpy,[9] The Cincinnati Enquirer,[15] The New York Times,[16] and VideoGamer.com,[14] have given perfect reviewing scores, and others, such as PC Gamer,[13] IGN,[11] GamesRadar,[10] and Eurogamer,[5][6] gave near-perfect scores, while the game became the fifth title to receive Edge magazine's ten-out-of-ten score.[4] Critics who applauded the game cited the advanced graphics and physics.[7][16] Maximum PC awarded Half-Life 2 an exaggerated, unprecedented 11 on their rating scale which normally peaks at 10, calling it "the best game ever made".[12]
In the United States, Half-Life 2's computer version sold 680,000 copies and earned $34.3 million by August 2006. It was the country's 17th best-selling computer game between January 2000 and August 2006.[18] It received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[19] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[20] Forbes reported on February 9, 2011 that the game had sold 12 million copies worldwide.[21]
In a review of The Orange Box, IGN stated that although Half-Life 2 has already been released through other mediums, the game itself is still enjoyable on a console. They also noted that the physics of Half-Life 2 are very impressive despite being a console title. However, it was noted that the graphics on the Xbox 360 version of Half-Life 2 were not as impressive as when the title was released on the PC.[22] GameSpot's review of The Orange Box noticed that the content of both the Xbox 360 releases, and PlayStation 3 releases were exactly alike, the only issue with the PlayStation 3 version was that it had noticeable frame-rate hiccups. GameSpot continued to say that the frame rates issues were only minor but some consider them to be a significant irritation.[8]
Several critics, including some that had given positive reviews, complained about the required usage of the program Steam, the requirement to create an account, register the products, and permanently lock them to the account before being allowed to play, along with installation difficulties and lack of support.[16]
The editors of Computer Gaming World nominated Half-Life 2 for their 2004 "Single-Player Shooter of the Year" and overall "Game of the Year" awards, although it lost to Painkiller and World of Warcraft, respectively. They wrote, ""Half-Life 2, everyone's default pick to win this year, is indeed a fantastic roller coaster of a ride, not as great as the original but still leagues above most other shooters."[23]
