The airboat, Half-Life 2
When asked to name the best game ever made, I often respond with Half-Life 2. It’s that good. I love it that much. However, even I have to admit that the airboat section of the game isn’t great.
It’s not nearly as bad as Xen in Half-Life, sure, but it’s just such a slog through canals and tunnels. And worse, the airboat isn’t very maneuverable or fun to drive. If this section was half as long and included a few more big set pieces it would still be a kind of “meh” bit in an otherwise fantastic game. – Zack Zwiezen, staff writer
