GhoztMan 219 Posted April 26, 2011 The original Portal had the element of surprise. Its style of first-person physics-based puzzle gameplay was unique. GLaDOS, the murderous robotic villain, was new and vibrant and evil in the most charming way. Cake jokes and songs about surviving dismemberment were still hilarious. It was short, succinct and essential. Creating a sequel without playing all the same notes and making it feel like Portal: The Longer Version is a tough task. For Valve, it's apparently no problem. Read more of the IGN review here. My review Portal 2 has recieved critical acclaim for numerous review sites and I can tell you from experience, this is an excellent game. It expands on the story and adds tons of new content and characters. The characters are witty and humerous, and the voice actors are superb. I beat the singleplayer in 7ish hours, and the coop mode in 5ish hours with a good friend on Skype. While not amazing in re-playability, every ounce of gameplay was obviously created with love. If you own a PS3 definitely buy it for that, as it comes with a copy of the PC version. Knowing Valve, the price will probably decrease in a couple months, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth $50 now (or $60 for PS3) when the price is subject to change. I'd give it a 9.1 on a scale of 10. Play it. My steam name is [EGI] AquarianPython. Let's coop! :D Share this post Link to post

ViperSRT3g 224 Posted April 27, 2011 Very entertaining game, though I wish the replay value was greater. It was awesome while it lasted. Share this post Link to post

Jordanv78 20 Posted April 30, 2011 Portal 2 looks great, but a 4 hour campaign? That's pretty short for a full priced game. BTW Mortal Kombat is great. I have been waiting for years for them to give this series the reboot it deserves. Share this post Link to post
ViperSRT3g 224 Posted April 30, 2011 If you took your time it would've lasted longer. :P Share this post Link to post
Speedskater 167 Posted April 30, 2011 Personally I think the reward for beating a level in portal isn't the satisfaction of doing so. But Glados and her famous 1 liners Share this post Link to post
Major Zhuinden 128 Posted April 30, 2011 Come on guys, how could Mortal Kombat compare to this?? xD Share this post Link to post
Jordanv78 20 Posted May 1, 2011 ....by being able to do these, and much more to your opponents. http://youtu.be/SMCtwA-Me08 Share this post Link to post
Speedskater 167 Posted May 1, 2011 Either way I do like portal the humor is what makes that game so satisfying to me. But since I'm an MK fan who's been waiting for this much needed and anticipated reboot I'm sticking with my gore filled game that brings back childhood memories. Also there is babality, which for some characters is very funny Jordan do you have a xbox live gamertag? we can fight each other :P Share this post Link to post
