So word says it, this game is short, but it depends on how much you put your head into it (not the head crab of course). The game felt more like Half-Life 1 than HL2, because I was more likely to climb through vents, use the flashlight more often, and I always had to find something other than a key to open the door. HL2 was more open in the outdoors, it was way more adventurous in a rpg sort of way. In Episode 1 I was shocked to find out that I wasn't going to use the crowbar as the first weapon and it ends up being the gravity gun. I cant wait to play Episode 2!
