I’ve got so caught up in WoW (and getting my Rogue to Level 60), that I forgot Portal 2 got released. I just completed the Single Player campaign (thank god…).
You learn alot about Aperture Science’s lore. The start of it when it was named ‘Aperture Industries’ back in the 1960’s to now, who Cave Johnson is, and Caroline, and the “relationship” of Aperture and Black Mesa.
And Wheatley. He was funny. Not hilarious, but funny. Maybe it was just me. I was too busy trying to get from Point A to Point B as quick as possible, but at times I listened to what was going on. I’m sure as I play the SP campaign more and more and get used to the tests, I’ll find the comedy more funny.
GLaDOS, however, as just as funny as she was in the original.
The testing, actually made me rage… alot. But again, just me.
I do say the game was worth the hype. Complex.. raging puzzles that can take hours just to solve one (and dying alot), and even from the start there’s action.
The graphics are amazing. The “goop” as I call it (the Bounce, Speed, and Portal goop) is as amazing as they showed in the demo, and how you can manipulate it to do what you need to do. Like take out turrets you can’t safely do.
There’s alot more testing than than the original Portal. Some of those said tests, I found “impossible” to complete. Used noclip alot. Not proud of what I did, but .. at most times it helped me to figure out how to get to where I need to go, and did the area legit.
The final tests (including the final battle), I had to use Youtube to figure out how to do them. I feel pathetic doing that.
I will be playing this game again in the future (may even play the game in the new Co-Op mode), and it will be fully legit.
