Far too short, but still amazing.
User Rating: 9 | Half-Life 2: Episode One PC
Half-life 2 was one of my favourite games of all time, and as I played episode one I was pretty sure this was going to be even better. And if it had been 3x's as long then yes.....It would have been. The game won't make any sense at all if you haven't played half-life 2 previously. So all in all episode one is amazing and besides being far FAR to short, it is a worthy addition to the franchise. Besides there not being ANY vehicle sequeces that helped make half-life 2 soo amazing and that it's over far too soon, there is NOTHING wrong with episode one. As long as you go into episode one expecting a short game then you will probably be fully satisfied with it. Half life episode one dose pretty much everything better then half-life 2. Except the previously noted problems. So go out and buy it, it is worth the purchase price. Just make sure to play half-life 2 first, because you'll be lost if you don't.
Good: Slightly improves almost everything half-life 2 was.
Bad: no vehicle sequences.
One of the shortest games I have ever played.
