![]() All three of the voiced characters in the games have hundreds of memorable quotes which could have you literally wetting yourself with laughter (Disclaimer: Game may not actually cause pant wetting). Portal is the funniest game available at the moment. One of Portal and Portal 2’s strongest factors is it’s writing and voice acting. You and a friend control this beastly partnership in co-op mode Personally I found the game much easier to play on split-screen co-op in the same room as my co-op partner, it made strategic communication alot easier, although if online co-op is your only option that will still do nicely with voice chat and a variety of gestures at your disposal. ![]() Added to the mix in this new mode is two additional Portals, the addition of the two new Portal completely changes the way the game plays, making levels more complex, requiring a new perspective on the on the test chambers. Giving the player access to 5 new testing courses when playing with a friend. Portal 2’s most hyped feature prior to release, online and split screen co-op mode is a welcome addition to the game. But don’t be put of by that, even if you haven’t played the original Portal but think you can handle the requirements the game asks for, because Portal 2 has a way of gently introducing the newest players into the game. ![]() The puzzles are challenging and very inventive, requiring a lot of brain power to solve some of the later puzzles. You require a certain way of think to understand the game, the gameplay isn’t for everyone. I say it’s easy for anybody to play, because it is, but not everybody will be able to play through it. Portal 2’s simplistic control makes it easy for anybody to play. Just like in most first-person games you use the left stick to move Chell and the right stick to control the camera. As in the original the two trigger buttons control the two Portals, the A button is used jump, while while the X button is used to pick up cubes, push buttons and interact with objects. ![]() One of Portal’s triumphs is it’s simplistic controls, using only a few buttons through out the game. Propulsion Gel - one of Portal 2's new features Don’t worry though, this isn’t just a Portal expansion pack, new gel substances, used to increased speed and jump higher appear in later levels, adding some variety into the memorable formula. The main basis, and mechanic of the game, the Portal gun, a gun with the ability to create two interlinking portals in which the player can traverse, returns but then again it wouldn’t be Portal without it. Lets be honest though, nobody plays Portal for the story, this a game all about the challenging puzzles and the awesome physics. The overall story arc is simple but effective, nothing to complex for people to get lost in, but still keeps the action flowing nicely. Joining GLaDOS and Chell are new characters Wheatley, a ‘personality sphere’ voiced by Stephen Merchant, and the unseen but heard in voice Head of Aperture Science, Cave Johnson. Taking place in Aperture’s underground testing laboratory, anybody who played the first game is sure to recognize the setting of Portal 2, as well as the forever popular antagonist, GLaDOS, whom makes a welcome return in Portal 2. Continuing the story originally laid out by Portal 1, again we join the seemingly emotionless Chell, test subject to the sinister organisation, Aperture Science. Lets start talking about the game itself then, beginning with the plot.
