Trivia
After Dog shows Alyx and Gordon his plan to hurl them across a canyon into the Citadel, Alyx asks "You did do the math, right?", to which Dog shakes his head. The head shake was not intended and was originally a bug with Dog's animation, however when play testers found it they said it was funny, so it was kept in.

Goofs
In level "Low Life" the player is trying to reach the surface via an underground parking lot. At level P5 antlions attack from underground burrows. However level P5 is not the ground floor. Under P5 is P6.

Quotes
Citizen: Dr. Kleiner says we can mate now. Not that I needed his permission.

Amazing Quality VS Short Gameplay

I think this game has the same quality like "Half-Life 2": It has the same fantastic characters, the intense atmosphere, the amazing sound effects etc. What I even like better is the fact, that Alyx Vance is beside you. She adds stronger feelings in the proper situations (for example panic).

The largest disappointment is clearly the short gameplay with only five chapters, but you have to expect this when it's called an "episode". I'm a Half-Life fan, but also a hobby reviewer, so I can't just rate "Episode One" as high as the original Half-Life games...
