This is a full playthrough of the Half-Life PS2 port demo included in the PlayStation Underground Jampack Summer 2002 disc.
Unlike the Uplink demo for Half-Life commonly available on the PC, this PS2 console port demo is unique in that it features a trimmed down selection of the game's early chapters, namely Anomalous Materials, Unforeseen Consequences, Office Complex, and "We've Got Hostiles". A few areas also underwent modifications to create some different gameplay encounters.
