when you beat the game, it unlocks new difficulties and makes it harder...

i beat the game in about 2 hours, twas quite fun...

it was a concept game though, thats why it wasn't that long... interviews i've read have said that the creators wanted to test out the concept to see if they wanted to make expansions, a portal 2, new maps, or just run with it...

it was a nice little add-on that is getting a lot of buzz, so i'm excited about the future.

edit: episode 2 was short (like 5-6 hours) because it was just a 'next chapter'... the idea was the release of tf2, to test out a newer concept (portal), and push the next chapter until they finish the series...

they got a whole shit load to the masses at one time... little bit for everyone...

now they have a solid multiplayer game thats getting a bunch of attention, a game with a completely unique style of play they can expand on, and a little bit more of the story to build up for the conclusion of an award winning series...

in short? valve done gud
