STORY: Without spoiling anything, I will simply say the the single player story is excellent. Г‚В Both modes are immensely fun to play through and don't disappoint those who love the good old Portal playstyle. And as a little bonus, you can interact with your Partner in Science by the way of hugs, high fives, dancing, or even a good old rock paper scissors match! It's easy to grow attatched to these characters, much easier than I had assumed. While not as story driven as Chell's encounters, gameplay truly dominates the Co-op as it did for much of the first title. The use of two sets of portals allows for wider range of possibilities in puzzle solving, and the brilliance of these tests impressed me with each progressive chamber. The Co-op story focuses more on the test chamber feel of Portal 1 than the single player story. Some of these tests can be as mind boggling as you might expect, and give the game a flavor all its own. Hard Light Bridges, Discouragement Beams (lasers), Excursion Funnels (energy tubes that carry objects and characters), and the Gels Propulsion (an orange substance that makes you run fast) and Repulsion (blue substance that causes you to bounce high in the air) are all able to be manipulated by portals. It worked so well to introduce the mechanics in Portal 1, why not do it again, but with a twist? It effectively satisfies both old and new players alike.Г‚ Without revealing any spoilers, many new types of objects gan be used to solve some of these ingenious puzzles. However, you will see that this beginning is nothing to fret.

I found this nostalgically satisfying, but worrisome that Valve might just make a repeat game. After a new character, a personality sphere named Wheatley wakes you from a sort of cryo sleep at the start of the game, and you find the portal gun by going through derelict versions of some of the first Portal 1 chambers.

In single player, we are all familiar with the way we use the portal gun, and that hasn't changed. You will find nary a glitch or bug to hinder your experience. GAMEPLAY: Portal 2, like Portal 1, features impeccable gameplay. The single player story is engaging, the co-op mode takes you back to the testing days of yore with many fun twists, and the characters are just as easy to fall in love with as before. While maintaining the same basic functionality and style of itsГ‚В predecessor, it expands upon the mechanics of the game in many interesting ways that keep it exciting. I have always associated Valve with quality games, and they didn't disappoint with this title. The single player story is engaging, the co-op mode takes you back to Portal 2 is Valve's latest triumph in gaming. Portal 2 is Valve's latest triumph in gaming.
