Like the pre-launch trailers said, Alyx really does hate zombies.

The cover art and trailers for Half-Life 2: Episode 1 feature Alyx Vance predominantly and rumors swirled that you would actually play as Alyx, at least for part of the game, similar to the different perspectives in the expansion packs for the original Half-Life.

Throughout Episode One’s five hours of single-player action, the perspective does not change: it stays firmly within that old familiar hazard suit. Yes, in a break with tradition, this expansion continues the story of our favorite handy-with-a-crowbar physicist.
