This game is so creative and fun! The gameplay is fresh and will get you thinking but not looking at gamefaqs. It is just a trainride of fun from start to finish. The dark humor is hilarious and the game is very memorable. downloadable levels extend the life. Even though it is not too long it just helps to get you to the awesome ending. Then see if you can beat the extras!

Awesome puzzle game using the H-L2 engine. It involves creating an "open" portal with one button, and an "exit" portal with another - use it to figure out you way around obstacles and enemies.

Sounds very simple; in reality, it's an intricately desiged, incredibly-challenging game that fails only because it's too short. There is a very loose story and a boss battle of sorts at the end that really pushes this game from four stars to five. Awesome ending credits, with brilliant music throughout. Definately not one to miss.

Not worth 20 bucks, get the Orange box instead.

I got this game for 20 bucks thinking it was cheap. I finished it within two or three sessions of gaming.

I didn't get my fill. This is the equivalent to a free game Demo.

I feel ripped off. Hey Valve, i'm done with this game, Can i trade it back for episode two instead?

Oh wait, you don't sell it on the store shelves do you? I have to download it through Steam? Valve forces you to join their lame Steam cult. Installing Portal though Steam takes a hell alot longer than actually finishing it.

Ohhh okay, you guys are smart, really know how to rip someone off! I feel like cattled sheep here. I should have gotten the Orange Box instead. I'd waste my money either way. But at least i'd feel a little less stupid.

Don't get me wrong, i found the game quite innovative and it was fun while it lasted, hence the 4 stars fun factor. Valve wants your money. The moment this game got bloated with Hype, they sell it as a standalone game on store shelves, but they don't do the same to Episode Two?

B*stards.

Make sure you're connected to the web

I bought this game to spend my offtime enjoying. Unfortunately, where I am currently situated has no internet and I haven't yet been able to play. Looks like I'll have to wait until I get back home to give it a shot. Didn't rate good or bad, due to inability to play, but I have been told it's very fun and look forward to finding that out for myself.

A good game overall...

...The antagonist is funny, the protagonist is quiet, and it's filled with puzzles that confuse the mind and infiltrate the body. Overall, as I said, it's a good game.

I HATE STEAM

YOU CAN'T INSTALL PORTAL UNLESS YOU INSTALL STEAM. UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND 3 HOURS WITH STEAM SUPPORT YOU BETTER HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION AND REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD AND BE WILLING TO SUBMIT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS SO YOU CAN START GETTING ALL OF THEIR JUNK MAIL. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. LOST $20.
