Very good scores for an expansion pack.

 

[Sparta]

Especially considering how short it is.

As again, Eurogamer's given the highest score so far.

Hell, Gamespot who was somewhat "critical" (if you can call a score of 9.2 critical) of the original HL2 said that Ep1 would be considered a BETTER game than HL2 itself if it were longer!

I think GamesRadar went somewhat went overboard with a score of 10 though. Personally I think that any score in the mid to upper 8s/80s is very fair!
