They are both cinematic games but HL2 really started the trend of just sitting there while someone talks at you in action games. Also, unlike the original, the parts you'd to want to replay is nowhere near the beginning and you have to go through several parts you don't want to play to get to. In HL1 and other games of the time, because of the way demos and shareware worked, most of the shitty parts are stacked near the end.
Graphically & technically, HL2 is just as playable as ever.
