I actually JUST beat Portal 1, and I enjoyed it. The concept of the portal gun was really cool, especially how all the physics works out. It really sucks that I have simulator sickness; I get nauseous after 30-60 minutes of play, so I had to pace myself to beat it.

Overall, short and sweet.

PS: Nice cake.

Who played a portal 2 coop? I dowloaded it and beat single player but for multiplayer i must to buy it. Is it interesting to play 2 players with FOUR portals?

i love the portal games valve is an epic game maker especially their physics engine. have any of you found the rooms where there's pictures of people with the companion cubes and stuff written in blood from people who went insane and fell in love with the companion cube in the first game.

I have played and completed Portal 1 and it was so great to stand around and figuring out how to pass the level. It has one of the best level designs imo, only Portal 2 and a few others have better level designs. And I think Portal 2 is nice and has a funny story but it was a bit too short. It took me only about 2 days to watch the walkthrough (accidently :|)...
If they're going to make a Portal 3, and I think they will, they should hire a better story writer who can write large scripts...
So my opinion is, Portal 1 = great but Portal 2 is better...but Portal lacks of a free-roam mode which could be GTA IVish with streets, missions and portals.

The cake is a lie.

No it's not, it's in the picture...and I want it

Portal 1 was originally 4 or 5 college students doing it as a project for college. Shows you how far the epic ideas go.
The first time Portal ever showed its face was on an old VideoGame TV show which used to be on twice a week and looked into special easter eggs, new games, etc, and it finally looked into portal... lots happened since then.
Now we all crave portal physics.

Portal 2 was of course undoubtedly going to be improved on a tremendous scale, and it sure as heck lived up to the idea of that!
The idea that Glados returns was inevitable, but with things like potato glados, Wheatley...Cave Johnson's lemon grenades, and even glados discovering that 'she'(or it as noobs call her) has a heart that isnt pasted on a companion cube.

I still say Valve can't count to 3 though, and that we will probably never see a portal 3, but if we do, I'm in favour of another Jonathan Coulton credits song!

Portal 1: Still Alive
Portal 2: Want You Gone
Portal 3: Just go...
Portal 4: Get outa my house, freak!
Portal 5: screw this, I hear they're recruiting at black mesa...

Get rid of the missions, add in time challenges and other obstacle courses, and there you go. If Chell didn't have those reinforcements on her legs, she'd be a pancake by now.

Brilliant games, but extremely short if you don't count co-op.

I'd say they are great games. Valve managed to combine logical thinking and humor really well into a first person game. 9/10 from me
