Portal 2

Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game's two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

It's an outstanding feat when look at it. Portal 2 at heart is a puzzle game that transcends farther than what it should be. The puzzles are fanatically thought up by the guys at Valve. Each one will have you scratching your head, wondering how to solve them and when you do; a feeling of gratification suddenly appears. But that's the magic of the developers flawless level design. Portal 2 has some pretty nice looking visuals, nothing mind-blowing of course. It's running on valves 7 year old source engine, but surprising it still manages to look superb. Some nice physic effects and moody art-direction makes the game recieve the nice graphical treatment. Audio wise, the game is top notch. Thanks to gaming's greatest written screenplay, the dialogue in the game makes each of the actors voice overs come to life in a big way. Wheatly, glados and others add to unforgettable gaming cast. When your done with the 6-8 hour singleplayer mode, you'll be able to play alongside a friend and solve puzzles together. This is a separate mode. Once again, it remains as well written, funny and entertaining as the single player mode. You'll chunk through everything the game has to offer in about 12 hours, but those who continue dive into it's world might find it impossible to leave even after 30. Overall: Portal 2 is the definition of gaming perfection. Well written-funny dialogue, Incredible cast of characters, amazing level design.. we can keep going on. Portal 2 just does a lot of modern games don't do and it doesn't even need explosions to do so. Give you a thoughtfully, unique and perfectly structured video game.

I love the game itself, but had some issues with gamestop's download service. Besides taking over nine (9) hours to download, it also started having problems only two days after I got it. It started freezing and randomly exiting whenever it felt like it. Went to the download support and they passed the buck to Valve. I had Steam validate my game cache and one of the game files came up corrupted. Steam automatically replaced the file and all now seems to be well. My advice: get a hard copy of the game on a disk. It will download faster from the disk than over the internet and you won't have problems with corrupted files.

I do not count Valve as a game development company but more of an art company! Portal and Portal 2 are just... amazing! Words can't describe the feeling you get when you play this games! Just amazing, really, amazing! It's challenging at first but once you get used to it, it's addicting! The gameplay will make want to play it for long periods of time, the graphics are great, and it will make you laugh at points. Great games!

This game is one of the best games I've gotten in about 2 years. it is a very challenging game so it lasts for at least 6 weeks. You will have fun even when Glados is laughing at you and calling you fat.

As we all know, the original Portal made in 2007 was a first-person puzzle game designed to test one's ability to solve problems and progress to the next chamber. It originally featured Chell, and GLaDOS( short for "Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System"). There were also references to other characters like Dougal Rattman.
Here, we have the sequel, coming roughly four years later in 2011. The series keeps its roots; it is a puzzle game. You get a handheld portal device, in which you can create 2 portals to walk through, or have objects pass through, and utilize the two portals in a way in which you will be able to complete the test chamber. Well, that is in the beginning, at least. If you're somewhat slow, like I am, you can spend about thirty minutes thinking of ways to complete the various puzzles, starting from very simplistic to very complex and vexing. The controls are very similar to those of first person shooter games.
With this sequel, new characters are introduced. When the game starts, you meet Wheatley, who follows you through the beginning levels. Cave Johnson...or rather, his pre-recorded messages, guiding you through Aperture before GLaDOS was activated, and Caroline, who was GLaDOS before her brain was inserted into a computer. As you go progress, you'll see how characters develop, and how Aperture goes into the state it is now.
I would go on, but I think you should experience the rest yourself.
If you like first-person view games, and if you happen to like puzzles, this may be the game for you.

Compared to Portal 1 This game has, better graphics, better game play, cut scenes, more than just ordinary tests, and perfect for the PC. I recommend this for anyone who loves a challenge and strategy, this game is much more longer with incredibly intensive chambers. You will definitely LOVE this game.

If you were disappointed in the first game, look no further, Portal 2 fixes almost all of the problems of the first game. A richer story, alot more levels, co-op, and some great new puzzles.

You shouldnt hate the game because it has lag. That only means that your computer's proscessor isnt good enough or you dont have enough RAM.

This game is perfect in every way! From the graphics to the voices, it is awesome! I was a little worried that this game wouldn't live up to portal 1, but it went BEYOND exceptions. I even liked it better then the 1st! I just finished co-op yesterday and It was a blast! I love all the comedic elements that GLaDOS provides and hope that portal 3 will happen soon!

This game is amazing. It's very funny (especially Wheatly, who is actually voiced by a brittish comedian), and the voice acting is spectacular. I was fully obsessed with it for 2 days straight, and it gave me about 12 hours of gameplay. This is not very long for a teenager with nothing else to do during this stretch of the summer. Also, the multiplayer is online-only, so the majority of the players have already beaten it.
Like the description says, its innovative gameplay keeps you thinking for hours on end, even when you aren't playing. I found that i would think about it when I would go to sleep, take a shower, even eat dinner. As some might say, that's a sign of a good game.
This is a note to possible consumers. If anyone who wants to play this game gets motion-sick, or doesn't have the mental capacity to imagine your character jumping down a chute and coming out a completely different wall, this is not the game for you. Save your money. Spend it on shoes or rocks or whatever you friggen want, just don't buy the game. There is a 99% chance you will throw up from the confusion and never play the game again.

Two modes, twice the levels, twice the amount of gameplay, and twice the chance of you not getting cake anytime soon. The game plays like it's predecessor: go through the different rooms by figuring out how to get through the many dangerous obstacles that await you by using the awesome Portal gun. This time around, the game designers came up with new obstacles that relate to all the different things that can be done with physics. Using the portals just makes physics fun. As for the co-op mode, I can't say, as I've never played it. They say however, it's really good. The only real problems with this game is that, you play it once, you've played it all. Of course, if you were to come back to the game, let's say, several years later, you might have forgotten how to solve some the harder puzzles. Although, people like me who tend to have a good memory on getting through the levels will only want to play the game again just to hear the marvelous voice acting and story. Did I mention there were secret areas? Yeah, try and find them. Another problem is that you HAVE to set up a Steam account to run your game. Seriously? I have the actual disk and the data for the game! I don't NEED an account for some service I'm never going to use to run the game. Overall, the game gives the fans of the original Portal more of what they wanted without feeling like some technical demo. This sequel is the real deal; skip the first Portal and buy Portal 2 instead. You'll be glad you did.
