this game is one of the best puzzle games out there but it may not apeal to every one, I liked it but if you dont like to use your brain while you are playing games or just dont like puzzle games you may want to skip this one but if you are a casual gamer or and fps, 3rd person or any other kind of gamer you should atleast play this one trough once
I love it! Later levels made my head hurt but they also taunted me enough to keep trying until I figured it out. Portal is a great game to play when you want to exercise your brain for a while and take a break from the mindless violence in some other games (not that there's anything wrong with mindless violence!). :)
Portal brings creativity to puzzle games: it has an innovative play style, a fun plot, silly jokes, all wrapped up with eerie and sweet robot voices leading you around and luring you in. it was nauseating, trying to consistently regain my sense of direction, but well worth it!
it's much too short, but extra stages are provided if you need more action.
the end song, while i know was supposed to be funny, actually made me feel a bit emotional. so i guess Portal zipped me away and zapped me in, from the wall to the floor, to the ceiling, upside down, and infinitely dropping.
This was a triumph. I'm making a review here. HUGE SUCCESS.
The game has many little fun stuff, jokes too, that it's hard to not like this game. One of a kind and unique, all you do is make portals and do things with it. Walk through it. Look through it. Fall through it. Redirect things with it. Fling yourself or objects with it.
The game will be quite short for the adept and the smart ones out there. But regardless, this is a fun little game conceived a massive following. Don't get it as a stand-alone game. Get it with the Orange Box.
