![]() New elements to the sequel's gameplay include light bridges, laser redirection, and paint-like gels, incorporated through the work of the student project Tag: The Power of Paint. Chell receives help from Wheatley, a small robot who opens entrances for her and provides witty insights about the environment. GLaDOS makes a return to tease Chell and she plots revenge for her destruction, but there are a large number of twists that make her role very different from in the first game. Just like in the first game, there are also many test chambers where puzzles need to be solved, using cubes, turrets, platforms, and special portal tricks to gain a lot of speed. By shooting a starting portal and ending portal at suitable surfaces, certain uncrossable gaps can be bridged. Just like in the first game, the gameplay is based around portals. Much more than in the first game, Chell moves past the clean test chambers and explores the gloomy industrial setting of the laboratory. The sequel still takes place at Aperture Science Labs, but it is now overrun by decay and nature. After the events of the first game, she was placed in stasis until eventually woken up again. Players continue the story by taking the role of the young woman Chell, who defeated the artificial intelligence computer system GLaDOS in the first game. And for what it is, a puzzle game, Portal 2 is an excellent choice.Portal 2 is the sequel to Portal and offers the same first-person puzzle-platform gameplay. That is right - no coins to collect, no lives, no leveling up, no time limits, no secrete items or areas… Just straight and simple. There are no accomplishments besides solving the levels/puzzles. ![]() If you are looking for something complex, with many tasks or accomplishment, that will take a long time to complete - this is not the game for you. The only downfall may be that it is a simple game. To sum it up this is a great and simple game. Of course you don't want to fool around too much, but it made us laugh on several occasions. ![]() You can actually mess around and make funny gestures to each other, change the portals as the other is walking through, or simple just kill each other. I never saw the single player puzzles, which are different and most likely more difficult.)Īs for the characters themselves (the robots) they were hilarious, especially on 2 player. Enough to make you think, but not enough to make you frustrated. However, overall I didn't think the difficulty was high - just average. There were a few levels that took some creativity to solve, and those stumped them a bit. My friends speed through most of them without too much trouble. The puzzles on the other hand were pretty unique and fun. ![]() However, the graphics were not what I bought the game for so it didn't bother me one bit, nor did it bother my friends. The graphics on the game are nothing to brag about. From what I saw and from the reactions of my friends I came to this conclusion: ![]() I didn't play myself, but watched the whole time. He played the two player version with one of his buddies. He opened the gift wrapping and started playing the game immediately. I had heard so many positive reviews that I decided my friend would like it, especially since he likes problem solving. The game is more about solving the puzzles. And they were right - there really isn't a story line, at least not one you really need to know. I admit that I never played the first Portal, but after reading other reviews it was clear that you didn't need to in order to play Portal 2. I would actually give it more of a 4.5 out of 5 stars. ![]()
