5.0 out of 5 starsPhenomenal.
By theshonen8899 on April 19, 2011
Platform for Display: PC
If you enjoyed Portal as much as I did (and I enjoyed it a LOT), prepare to be blown away. Portal 2's single-player campaign is in every way far better than the original. It takes you through unbelievably creative levels with far more dynamics and levels than the first game. I don't want to say too much because honestly, if you are even considering this game then you need to witness it yourself.

The only real "con" I can say about this game is that it's campaign is short for the price tag. However, if you felt it was justified to pay ~$50 for Call of Duty 4 despite how short it was, then expect the same quality (if not better) with Portal 2. It's a short campaign, but it is absolutely amazing.

Many people have been complaining about the DLCs and other strange things so let me be the first to clarify this for you. Portal 2 has an in-game shop, not unlike Mannconomy from Team Fortress 2. What you can buy are little customizations for your co-op robots, things like skins or gestures. There are about 60+ negative Metacritic reviews complaining about this, saying it should have been included in the game. I honestly do not understand it. This content has nothing to do with the single-player campaign as far as I am concerned, and I really do not care about them. They are just little trinkets that make your robots pretty. I really...don't understand the enormous criticism over it. PC players (which is what I am) have complained about the "Please do not turn off your console" dialog as well, which shows up when you are saving the game. I can assure you that other than this, the entire game feels exactly as well tuned for PC as with every other Valve game.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsQuite possibly Valve's best game.
By bryssa on April 20, 2011
Platform for Display: PC
UPDATE (November 22 2012): Since the original review several of my criticisms have been resolved as a commentator pointed out (thanks!). Specifically, with the advent of the level editor and Steam Workshop, there is an absolute ton of quality/mind bendingly difficult maps now. Valve has also added an additional co-op campaign. Basically, there's tons of content and the game has dramatically dropped in price, so my concerns about difficulty and running out of content vs the game's price are now moot.

In addition, as of yesterday Valve has added split screen local co-op. Hurray for us HTPC users!

My original review has not been edited as I don't like stealth updates to reviews.

--

There are very few developers that I would pre-order games by pedigree alone. There are even fewer developers that I would pre-order, wait on pins and needles for the unlock, pull an all-nighter during the work week out of pure eagerness to play it, and not regret a thing while I was in zombie mode the next day. As time goes on that list of developers has shrunk to a mere two.

Valve is one them, and they have yet to truly disappoint me. They are, for all extents and purposes, the Pixar of gaming for me.

That's not to say I'm blind to their faults and mistakes, they've certainly made them before and they'll make them again. None of their games are perfect, either -- including Portal 2. But what they do right they do so bloody well right that it makes the bobbles easy to look past.

Half Life 2 may be my personal favorite Valve game for a lot of reasons, but Portal 2 is probably their *best* game when looked at objectively.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsYou will be engaged

There are already some really great, full featured reviews here (on Amazon) and elsewhere. I would like to contribute some thoughts I think will be useful to a variety of target audiences by providing some points that have not been touched on.

1. This is a puzzle-style game that is innovative and creative enough to be highly enjoyable even for those who don't normally enjoy puzzle games.

2. This is a first-person shooter action game that is mesmerizing and intriguing in ways that will make it enjoyable even for those who don't normally enjoy this genre. (Note: the only thing you 'shoot' is portals.)

3. Grow new neural connections! you will feel your mind muscle reveling in the activities this game provides.

4. What is it like? I've had a number of people (from all stages and walks of life) ask me this by way of trying to determine if they will enjoy it. The brief description I will share now is the one that seems to click with most folks:

Imagine you are standing on a ledge. You cannot leave. You can jump down the shaft to the floor far far below, but there is no exit down there. You can also see that there is a ledge far far above you, with the dim outlines of a glowing Exit sign and a doorway. How to get up there? On the ledge where you are, you point your 'portal gun' and create a blue portal on the ground next to you (at the moment, the blue portal goes nowhere. It needs a yellow portal to connect to). Then, you look down the shaft, take a deep breath, and jump. As the floor comes rushing toward you (with much the same enthusiasm as a giant, ravenous wolf), you shoot your portal gun at the it (the floor) and just before you hit, a yellow portal opens up beneath your feet.Read more ›

Waste of money. Instead, go to Steam online and purchase the download for much less.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat, but Co-op Mode Felt Weak

Portal is great, and Portal 2 is more of the same. Just wish the co-op mode had been a bit more flushed out.

5.0 out of 5 starsEven better than Portal 1

Portal 1 was easily the one game that blew me away the most in 2007. I was so excited about it that I bought Portal 2 almost immediately after it came out. Read more
