    Wait for a drop in price.

    I'm not one for writing long reviews, so I am going to keep this short.


    The game is really good, no doubt; the humor hits well and often, the old portal gameplay is made fresh again through the inclusion of gravity vents and gels, there is even a new credits song.

    Despite all of this I completed the game in 6 hours, including breaks to make food and go to the toilet etc. The coop campaign is fun but once again, fairly short if you and your partner are good at working together.

      Portal 2 is the followup to Portal which was originally a pack in the the Orange Box. Portal 1 could not have held up as a stand alone product which is why many people were doubting Valve’s decision to make Portal 2 a full retail game. The original Portal only clocked in around three-four hours, which as a pack in with four other games is long enough. Portal 2 is full price and it is a full length game. First play-through of the single-player netted me around eight hours. The single-player could...
