Short version: If you liked the first, you’ll almost certainly love this one. It’s a fair bit longer, excluding the co-op side (which I’ve not yet tried), skips the basic learning stuff, and gets right into the fun puzzles.If you didn’t like the first, stay away. Unless it’s just because of the length. If you’ve not played the first, go try it now. It’s only £7, and I’ll be waiting for you to get back. If you want a description, it’s a first person platformer, where you have a gun that can create portals. Portals redirect your momentum. Fast thing goes in a portal, fast thing comes out the other one. Play the first one, as it trains you in how to think with portals.
Anyway, onto a mostly spoiler free review. Unfortunately, a lack of spoilers makes things a little difficult to describe 🙂 The voice acting is excellent, though as the guy that voices the AI Wheatley also does those Barclays adverts I keep expecting him to talk about banking. It’s fun. Portal 2 does a good job of flipping between the light and humorous, to the dark and psychotic. Just like the first one.
And the audio from Cave Johnson? It’s more of this:
The game play is similar, though there are a few new options thrown in to mix things up. Keeps it from getting dull 😀
