[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In case you haven't been told recently or often enough, this really is one of the greatest ever invented. If you're a fan of the first-person shooter but miss the old days of puzzle games, this is the most satisfying game I've played in a long time. And it's hilarious. The commentary you get from GLAdOS, Wheatley, and Cave Johnson have you frequently laughing out loud as you stretch your brain to figure out the puzzles. It's just challenging enough to make you feel smart as you complete most levels. Hours of playtime, absolute replay value, and engaging co-op missions earn this game my highest recommendation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK... i played this game all the way through and it just BLEW ME AWAY!!!! it is the perfect ending!!!!! I love the twist too!!!!! i don't want to give away too much of the story, but when i finished the game i had to go back to the beginning and play through it again... IT WAS THAT EPIC i LOVE YOU GLaDOS PORTAL 3 {THAT'S WHAT I'M COUNTING ON}--- PORTAL 2 REFERENCE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so glad that I was able to spend my money for my first Xbox 360 game (Portal 2). I couldn’t find any other games because other game stores stop carrying Xbox 360. I haven't play the game yet but this would be fun and exciting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Portal 2 is awesome and different that your run of the mill First Person Shooters. It's 10,000 years in the future, mankind has perished...all that's left is machines. You are a robot trapped inside a complex run by a maniacal super-computer with a bad attitude. You have a portal gun that allows you to create entrance/exit portals, and you are given puzzles to solve in order to proceed from one level to the next in the game. Some of the puzzles are simple to solve, others are quite elaborate. This is a great game, no violence, just problem solving. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a big fan of the original Portal, so I had to give this a try. I had much debate over whether or not to spend $60 on the game because I knew how much use I would get out of it. Anyway, long story short, I bought it, beat it within two days, and haven't picked it up since. I'm told I should play the multi-player mode, I just don't wanna! Can't imagine having to play this game with some tard who keeps messing around and getting killed. The game was fun and had some great challenges. I really enjoyed it........ for 2 days..... You want my opinion? Rent it....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Portal 2 is a mind-bending puzzle game from Valve. You open your mind to a knew way of gaming. You get a portal manipulator device, which you use to create 2 separate rifts in space and time to teleport throughout the map. You essentially just go in one portal, and go out the other. This device along with useful environmental advantages will help you conquer dozens of maps and will have you thinking with portals. Portal 2 is a blend of puzzle game and first person action that will keep you, and now a friend, busy for a while. Maybe there will be Cake this time?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An all-time classic. This should be in everyone’s game collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First let me say that I am not one of these young game players who live, breath and die by gaming. I am 63 year old female who happens to love gaming. I bought the Orange Box as one of my first X-Box games and got hooked on Valve. Portal was right down my alley. Portal 2 for me rocks beyond belief. I am at chapter 4 which is where the dificulty level kicks in. Portal 2 has many upgrades to Portal. The controls are better and more responsive and situated better. I love the diverse methods of beams, light floors, new cubes etc. to assist you in your getting from one place to the next. I could go on forever about the creative imagery and totally fantastic visual effects. Just go buy the game and enjoy it for what it is. Puzzle game playing at its best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Portal 2 was a real treat to play. The puzzles are thought-provoking and deceptively tricky. The addition of "goo" adds a nice dimension to the puzzles - and the addition of a co-op mode really pushed this title over the top. Only a couple of the puzzles were stumpers which makes the game approachable to even the most logically challenged. Even those few that offered a challenge garnered "Aha" moments once the solution was realized. So, while none of the puzzles induced headaches, the entire game was well worth the cost - its more than just a puzzle game, afterall, any time spent with GLaDOS is worth falling down a few pits, getting crushed by large spikey articulated platforms, covered by orange, blue and white goo and suffering verbal abuse, isn't it?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll be brief. This was a hoot! I'm not a huge fan of puzzle games but the humor, graphics and first person perspective made this game a total blast and its longer than I thought it would be. It has some expected but still surprising twists and turns along the way as well. I spent hours on several levels trying to reason out the solutions and once I figured it out it was very satisfying! If you enjoyed the first Portal and you like first person style games I think you will enjoy this a great deal. Valve did a great job!!!
