Secret Santa 2024
Original Post
Portal 2
Yes, there is already a Portal 2 thread. But now that the game is out I think it's time to discuss!

Within the single player campaign, the player returns as the human Chell, having been in stasis for several hundred years, while GLaDOS, a rampant artificially intelligent computer, and the rest of the Aperture Science facility has fallen into disrepair. Chell is awakened by the bumbling Wheatley, one of GLaDOS's personality cores, and inadvertently wakes GLaDOS; GLaDOS is immediately displeased at Chell's return and begins testing her again through numerous chambers as she rebuilds the dilapidated facility. With Wheatley's help, Chell attempts to escape from the facility with the use of the portal gun. Portal 2 also includes a two-player co-operative mode in which the player-characters, the robots Atlas and P-body, are part of GLaDOS' "Cooperative Testing Initiative" to seek out data discs outside of GLaDOS' range of influence, and must work together to complete each level using their own individual portal guns.

NOW

The physics of Portal have remained the same throughout the game but with many more obstacles in your path such as aerial faith plates, excursion tunnels and a variety of gels which have their own special functions. Some special functions I found pretty neat was the cross-platforming between PSN users and Steam users to play the newly introduced co-op mode. I don't particularly like the isolation of XBL users but as a PSN user I can't complain.

What are your thoughts on the game?
If you haven't bought the game, are you planning to?

I have already beat the single player and co-op campaigns. I can officially say that it's fun as hell. My only complaint is the lack of replayability. In the first game there were challenges, bonus maps, etc. However, in Portal 2, all you have left is some developer commentary. This is for the 360 version by the way, so different versions may be different.

I'm really hoping for an upcoming DLC for the game. I've also beat the game and it's real good fun. Due to the Network failures I have yet to finish the co-op. Except I went back and got all the trophies/achievements on the singleplayer. Also, the Developer Commentary is available on the PS3. It's pretty interesting listening to the Devs.
