    Portal 2 Nutshell

    Was it fun gaming experience? 

     -Yes-

    ----What I liked----
    • The Story
          -I was engaged the whole time
    • The Tutorials
          -Don't be scared of this game, Valve gets you thinking with Portals with great Tutorial rooms
    • The Mechanics
          -The Portal gun works just like you want it to, along with the physics.
    • The Script / Voice Work
          -Wheatley is a great character
    • Co Op
          -You get to prove to your friend how much smarter you are.
    • Sense of Discovery
          -Traveling through the bowels Aperture Labs with the Portal Gun feels like your breaking the game Valve designed for you. 
    • Free DLC
          -Although not known at launch, free levels is great fan support from Valve. 


    ----- What needs to be changed (Possible DLC)------
    • I need more challenge
    -Most puzzles only require to think 2 or 3 steps ahead.  I want to be thinking 6 or 7 steps ahead, with constant turret fire  and bottomless pits.  I blame Super Meat Boy.
    • Less Load Times
    -Every elevator ride is a load time
    • More Hidden Areas
    -Finding the hidden areas in games is my favorite part.  Sadly they were few and far between, and easy to find.

    -----TIPS-----
    -Take breaks 
    -There is a Valve intended way to finish rooms, and a crazy, take advantage of the physics, way to finish rooms.  Valve's way is easier but not necessarily as satisfying.

      Now You're Thinking With Portals... 0

      Portal 2(PlayStation 3) by jdoobs on April 19, 2011

      2007 was arguably one of the best years in game release history. That year, a dozen or more AAA titles released, hitting the pockets and calendars of gamers everywhere. The Orange Box is one example, and packaged in as part of a five game deal was Portal. Portal was a puzzle platformer the likes of which had never been seen. The popularity of the Half-Life franchise combined with the deal of 5 games for the price of one drew gamers to The Orange Box and Portal became an overnight hit while ...

      A fantastic sequel 0

      Portal 2(PlayStation 3) by librariangmr on April 26, 2011

      First things first: This review is spoiler free.Back in 2007, Valve released a product called The Orange Box which offered five games for a damn good price: Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. The set was incredible deal and offered an incredibly rich Half-Life experience to those who haven't played it, but it was Portal that was gaining the most widespread attention. Portal was a puzzle/adventure game and instead of shooting bullets at monsters, you'...
