Portal 2 - Spoiler Free Review




It has been a long time.

I've finished up the single player on Portal 2. For those who haven't played it yet, here's a spoiler free review.

Which Version To Buy:

If you have a PS3 but like PC gaming, still go with the PS3 version. It gives you the PC/Mac version for free. The reverse isn't true, nor is it true on the XBox360.

Goodness:

  • Retains the old Portal style, more dark comedy
  • Smoother play (only got stuck on 1 or 2 puzzles)
  • Gives some back story
  • Developer commentary (This is just plain awesome!)
  • Easy to skip back to sections

Badness:

  • Song for credits is a bit weaker
  • Still feels too short, at ~10 hours to beat the single player
  • Low replay value
Advice:
So if you played the first game and liked it, there's more to like here. If you haven't played the first game, it is well worth the money on Steam.

This is definitely not for everyone, but it will have a great fan base.

Now time for multi-player.
