第一章是给粉丝玩的。

优点：
+Alex再次出现
+继承之前的世界观

缺点：
-流程较短
-剧情发展缓慢
-敌人和武器基本不变
-新鲜感不足
（玩HL2的时候，每到新的一章，基本都是新玩法，EP1玩的困）

总的来说就是个可有可无的间章。
评分的话，如果HL2本体是10分，EP1只有7
总评:7.5/10

还没玩完就迫不及待评测了!!!是跟着hl2的剧情过来的 剧情接轨的很棒!!!而且中途的BGM也是很有感觉~~弗里曼龙啸天~\(≧▽≦)/~

画面比《半条命2》好多了，瞎眼光看起来非常爽。就是流程短，还有前面好长一段时间都没有撬棍，你会发现说这游戏撬棍是神器真不是吹的，有了撬棍你会发现整个游戏玩起来都顺手多了。

我们走着瞧

这款游戏不仅是半条命2的续集，我更多看到的是valve会有更大的发展前途。加油吧。

我只想说,一弹通关术这个成就让我觉得整个人都不好了

Half-Life 2: Episode One 1 was released a bit over 8 years ago, as the even then long-awaited expansion of the original, critically widely acclaimed game. Since it is part of the Orange Box, the Half-Life 2 Complete Edition and the Valve Complete Edition, chances are great you already own and have played the original Half-Life 2.
The good news: Episode 1 continues on the high level of level design and gameplay the original had set. There is however an important shift in focus, as the greater part of the game is played alongside Alyx, Gordon's female companion-in-arms. Alyx happily stands her own against the enemy hordes and doesn't need any sort of "babysitting" games wtih less well developed AI sometimes call for. She's been updated graphically as well (looking even better ;-)) since Episode 1 makes use of the High Dynamic Range lighting effects first tried out by Valve in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast. However, compared to that playable tech-demo, environments in Episode 1 are a bit disappointing and don't always offer the best opportunities for the upgraded engine to shine. There are no wide-open vistas, and although the opening level in the Citadel is impressive, it also has a sort of repetitiveness that comes to the fore now and then.

On the other hand, gameplay-wise everything is as top-notch as it was in the original game, and the fact that you play alongside Alyx offers some interesting opportunities. There's even a Steam Achievement called "One Bullet" which gets unlocked by playing through the entire game (!!) using one single bullet. The rest of the kills/actions has to be made by using the Gravity Gun, which gets an upgrade during the early part of the game. This calls for clever thinking, and I tried to get it, only to find myself missing the shooting action after a couple of hours ;-).

All in all, Episode 1 is a good to very good expansion, continuing the story of the original game in a logical and interesting way. There's no reason at all not to give it a shot (...) when you've played the original Half-Life 2.

Overall rating: 8/10

Played through the game firing 1 bullet... 11/10

Just buy it.

Episode 1 continues where Half Life 2 ended.

It's the shortest one of them all and adds a few new things which I really like for instance Alyx can only see in the dark if you turn on the flashlight and point it in some direction.

A must have for a Half-Life fan of course.

She's waiting on the other side for you, Gordon! You lucky dog you!

The adventure didn't finished with blowing up Citadel. This game is the shortest and most exciting game I have ever seen in my life. In this episode Gordon and Alyx are running away and try to find a way to escape from City 17. There is no new equipment or new weapon. Also in this episode we will see Gordon and Alyx more close together. If you finished Half Life 2 already, you need to buy and play this game definitely.

Fantastic game.

Half Life 2 Ep. 1 came out 2 years after the release of Half Life 2. It was called Episode for a reason though. It took me 3 hrs to complete as opposed to 15 hrs Half Life 2 provided. Gameplay wise it doesn't add anything new. So the story is the only fresh thing it can deliver.

Not quite as good as HL2 but very much worth a go.

Continuation of the epic series by valve.

You start off from where half life 2 ended and make your way through the scariest set of levels in the new trilogy(HL2 trilogy) so far.

Definitely a must play for all half-life and fps lovers. You just cant skip this game or any games in the half life series for that matter. Get them all and immerse yourself in the complex yet great plot!

10/10

The Half-Life Series has left a legacy for a reason. Enough said.

If you're planning on buying the games individually, dont. Search the "Orange Box" on steam and buy it instead. You get the entire series plus both Portal games, and it comes out cheaper. The Orange Bundle was on sale yesterday for $5 on greenmangaming. Its normally 20 dollars however, which is still a pretty good deal. I think i bought it for $10. so yeah, the bundle can save you some money if you place it on your wishlist and buy it on sale.

Episode One picks up the story right around where Half-Life 2 ended. Alyx and Dog are looking for you, and your job is to get the hell out of City 17 before it blows up. There are a few enhancements to the gameplay, some new enemies, and a superb storyline that continues to expand the Half-Life universe. A must play if you are a fan of the series, or if you're looking for a quick shooter. The game itself is not long, but packs a punch in the short campaign that you play.

Episode Three is better
