I have now played and completed this game, and although it is short (about 2 or so hours) this is my favourite game i have played in a LONG time.

It can be challenging, the "villian" is really likeable (without giving too much away) and the overall experience is fantastic. I would pretty much urge everyone who can possibly get it to do so.

I am yet to do the challenges and time runs and I'm sure some user created content will be out soon enough so I feel this game still has alot in it. I'm also going to run trhough it again with subtitles on as I'm sure there are a couple of jokes I missed.

Got anything to add or want to ask anything?, just post here.

Portals is single-player only, correct? That is usually a huge deciding factor of whether or not I buy a game.

Multiplayer CTF or Capture Points may be cool.. but DM would just get too confusing

On another note - I just finished the game and I've got to say... It's AWESOME! If you havent gotten/completed it yet, Go do so right now, you won't regret it!

I only hope that this is "Only the biginning" of the Portal-Style gameplay as is stated in the commentary

How can they put such a hype of something that: has already been done in several ways, can be completed in no time (at the second try I bet u'll do it in less than a hour), has such an simple gamedesign which can be advanced and improved in so many ways to make it weekends of playing.

There are 2D shooters such as Moorhuhn I've played longer
I mean if you know what to do in every level, there is absolutely no challenge left.
They are expecting the community to make new maps of course - the moneymachine works.

well, Portal is more like a rubix cube in nature ... once you know whats possible, it is easy to play the game ... but people who are stuck in their ways and constricted to real life scenarios may have problems with the game

What i paticularly like about the game is just that: It is very abstract. Not in the "Unreal Tournament" sense - But in the sense that you must just forget all you've learned about Physics in school and re-learn how "life" works... Inside this game anyway.

You'll never complete this game without thinking a little abstract. Stick to modern physics and logic and you will fail This game FORCES you to look at things differently and i really enjoyed that.

Looking forward to any user-created custom maps Come to think of it - I may have to try my hand at Hammer after this

Section mabye?

I'm not saying its rich with content or original (I played the game it was based off) It's just this game is one of the best experiences I've had in a game in a long time. I've really enjoyed playing it.
