Thar be spoilers, but let us tag them.
I beat Portal 2 after 2 marathon game sessions. I am still working on co-op. The game is brilliant. One of the most engaging games I have ever played, the story hooks you and you barely notice it. The gameplay is polished to as close to perfection as a game can get.
I actually like the new credits song more than the last. It isn't as insanely catching, but it is a more well rounded song. Don't listen to it if you don't want to have story points spoiled!
I should have co-op beat on Wednesday and I shall be sad, as it means the game is over. Never have I wanted DLC so much.

Playing through the single player story was as enjoyable an experience as I've had in years with a video game. The gameplay, humor, writing, and voice acting (I still can't get over how good Merchant/Simmons/McLain were in their roles) border on perfection. The ending is an extremely satisfying conclusion to such a phenomenal story. And yeah, I also like the new song more than "Still Alive", but the song immediately before it was even better. And co-op is a blast. Takes a little while to get used to working with four portals, but the game does a terrific job of easing you into it. Not much of a story, but with such addictive and fluid gameplay, you won't even care. So yeah, one of the best games I've played in ages. I also can't wait for some legit DLC and user-made maps. So much potential for mods. Favorite parts of the game: {Spoiler}Turret Symphony

{Spoiler}I'm stuck in the first repulsion gel or propulsion gel...whatever the orange goop is called level.
I got the box on the button so the ramp goes up and i've tried 100 times to run up the ramp onto that 2nd level but I keep missing. What am I missing? I made a portal from that hallway to the front of the ramp so I have more run but I can't quite make it up there. It looks like there is a place to place a portal up there but the window of opportunity to shoot one is about 1/4 of a second.
Other than that, good game. |

Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.
So many memorable moments/quotes in this game from beginning to end. {Spoiler}I'm stuck in the first repulsion gel or propulsion gel...whatever the orange goop is called level.

Other than that, good game. {Spoiler}As long as you have the runway leading up to the ramp covered in propulsion gel and have the cube on the red button, you should make it up with ease. The great thing about the orange goop is that you don't really need a lot of room to reach a high speed. Just take a few steps and you're already blazing fast. |

I'm definitely loving this game. It's one of the few games where, no matter how frustrated I might get during a chamber, as soon as GlaDOS mocks you afterward... the tension is relieved and I just laugh.

just beat the game. Damn, the end fight is short, and simple... but still completely epic!
