Short but sweet. Excellent level design and puzzles.
The downside is -- this looks a lot like Half Life 2 and it's not entirely exciting to go back into the Citadel as soon as you spent the entire first game blasting your way through corridor after corridor. The upside ... Read Full Review

A great game but way too short and worse than Half-Life 2.
It took me about 5 hours or so to complete HL2 Episode One. It carries on where HL2 left off and has the same great gameplay as before, well sort of. I enjoyed the game but its just so short. You get HL2 Deathmatch and H... Read Full Review

Great start to a great series.
If the term "episode" is anything to go by, then HL2:Ep1 is the first in a fantastic series. It follows Gordon Freeman in his escape from City 17 as the *SPOILER* citadel blows up due to Breen's untimely... "escape". ... Read Full Review

Good but not Perfect.
This half life episode was a little let down from Half Life 2 and Episode 2 because well for starters there were no vichiles. It was also short which made it more of a let down (Episode 2 was hella short too but this 1 w... Read Full Review

The same great gameplay, but the length is unacceptable
The Good: Same great gameplay, Alyx has a bigger role this time, continues the story of Half-Life 2. The Bad: Too short, no new weapons to speak of, no mutilplayer. ---------------------------------------------------... Read Full Review

Where did the time go?
'm sorry, but this is what I would have expected if the work experience kid was let loose in the Valve Dev Lab and told "Go on, go crazy during your lunch break". I sneezed and finished it. Severely disappointed at the l... Read Full Review

A good continuation to the Half-Life story
Well Half-Life 2 is great and I needed to get Ep. 1 before the orange box. The game starts right where HL2 ended, the core exploded, but you are still in the tower. Most of HL ep1 is figuring out how to stall the explosi... Read Full Review

Episode One's truncated nature and paucity of variety undersells what should have been a vastly superior game.
Written with the recently digested Episode Two in mind, it's glaringly apparent how lackluster Half-Life 2: Episode One really is. Originally titled Aftermath, it depicts the repercussions of the Citadel's explosion, Tho... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2: Episode One is what you expected. Only problem is that its way to short to be a perfect game.
Half-Life 2: Episode One continues the story of Gordon and Alyx as they try to help the people escape the city. Now I really don’t need to get into detail about this game. Pretty much everything is the same as HL2. Altho... Read Full Review

Half-life 2 Episode 1 has alot more to offer than Half-life 2. Clever enemies more enemies so on. but sadly. too short.
When i first got HL2EP1 i was like OMG I'VE GOTTA PLAY THIS. and i did. I loved the graphics and the new HDR. everything looked better. Even dog was pretty. what was also new in it, was that you got to sit in a van and a... Read Full Review
