A great game but way too short. Its shorter than episode 1. I completed in 3.8 hours according to the steam community. I think it was no more than 4 and a half hours. A lot of that time was spent in storyline. The game is worthwhile playing and worthwhile purchasing with the orange pack for this and portals. Portals is completable in about 3 hours but promises to be extendable with extra maps being downloadable. If you haven’t played the first episodes and half life 2 then play that first as the story does continue on and a lot of the game play lessons are done in those episodes.
