My review is simple. Probably, you played the original game Half Life 2 before the episode one (obviously). And I played 5 additionnal hours of the original game. Same ennemies. Same guns. Same ambiance. Practically the same place. The episode one is an extension with nothing of new.

good fps game , fun , worth the price ! good graphiics and lots of replay value , best on steam . the death match part is really fast paced and hard , but great once your use to it~!

Half-Life 2 Episode One is the first in a trilogy of episodes for Half-Life 2. These all follow the same storyline. So, hungry for more after Half-Life 2? Play this! Story (This may contain spoilers for those still playing Half-Life 2) The reactor of The Citadel has just exploded, leaving you and...

Great Half - Life gameplay and puzzles; good graphics and excellent sound; strong characters

Short length

Engaging FPS - Beautifully made - Slighlty flawed So, if you've played Half Life 2 to the end your all ready sold on this game due to the cliffhanger at the end of the Half Life 2 campaign.

Traditionally the summer isn't a great time to release video games. The weather is nice, there's lots of sport on and 'blockbuster' films are lining up to compete for your well-earned pound.

this is a great game, but it costs FAR to much for only 2 hours woth of gaming, and fans are going to be tricked into buying all the episodes for stupid prices!!

Parents need to know that players navigate a dark storyline featuring an apocalyptic alien invasion and the potential end of the human race. Action is fast and furious, featuring graphic violence and incredibly creepy situations. Players use grenades, machine guns, a signature crow bar, etc.

It goes without saying that Half-Life 2 is quite possibly the best single-player FPS experience ever crafted for the PC. Four years in the making, ground-breaking physics, stunning visuals, non-stop action and a stellar story, to boot all coalesced to create one of the most talked about games in...

Playing Half-Life 2 again; The short game time lends itself to more frenzied play; Great on-the-go narrative; No system updates required; Best five hours on the PC I've spent in ages

Short; Have to wait six months for the next installment; Alyx can sometimes be the cause of your death

Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first in a new trilogy of episodes that are scheduled to be released over the course of the next year. The first episode fills in a lot of the story gaps that you may have found with Half-Life 2 and at the same time opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
