Finding a fellow Portal fan and working together…for science…is just so much fun!

The co-operative mode was all of this and more. The single player mode was outstanding, darkly funny and very clever. Portal 2 also includes a two-player co-operative mode, in which the robotic player-characters Atlas and P-Body are each given a portal gun and are required to work together to solve test chambers specifically designed to require cooperation. Chell must navigate the now-dilapidated Aperture Science Enrichment Center and its test chambers with the portal gun while the facility is rebuilt by the reactivated GLaDOS, an artificially intelligent computer that first appeared in Portal.

Within the single player campaign, the player returns as the human Chell, having awakened from stasis after many years. Most gameplay elements of the original Portal were retained in the sequel, and more were added to Portal 2, including tractor beams, laser redirection, and paint-like gels that impart special properties to objects they cover. The game’s physics allow momentum to be retained through these portals, which must be used creatively to maneuver through the game’s challenges. Portal 2 primarily comprises a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player’s character and simple objects using the “portal gun”, a device that can create inter-spatial portals between two flat planes. On 4th October 2011 Valve are releasing Portal 2’s first downloadable content for FREE titled “Portal 2 : Peer Review”.īack in April we saw the release of the much loved Portal 2 – the first person puzzler, sequel to 2007’s Portal and one of my all time favourite games.įor those who have never played Portal or Portal 2 here is a piece taken from Wikipedia about the game – Tonight I saw an announcement from Valve that has got me incredibly excited.
