Portal 2

Hello I am Diax and I would like to review games for you. Today's review is on the game put out by Valve entitled Portal 2 as the title implies. Portal 2 is the sequel to the game Portal (of which I loved so much). Portal 2 is, as its predecessor, a First Person Puzzle Game. I know that sounds silly but it is actually a well thought out game. First of all it's puzzles are mind-bending and require you to think out of the norm. Even though there are a whole slew of gameplay mechanics introduced to the player, there is only one way to solve each puzzle. The story is not the best but it is good to keep you entertained and is, if i may, funny as hell. It also features a Co-Op mode which requires constant communication and cooperation. So your results may vary upon you and your partner. The Co-Op takes place after the Single Player Campaign so it's best to do that first. Even though there seems to be two separate Campaigns, the game is surprisingly short, much like it's predecessor Portal. That seems to be all I have to say about this game so I shall now summarize and hand down my verdict. This game's, well, gameplay is very good and the story is good. The game is sadly incredibly short and has little replay value, unless your the type for achievements. As such I recommend this game for it's sense of humor, brilliant puzzles, and amazing scenery.

Yours truly,
Diax
