![]() Chell awakes only to be herded along a series of test chambers, acquiring a Portal Device along the way – a piece of technology which allows for two windows to be created that bridge space and time. ![]() You play as Chell, a test subject of Aperture Science which is implied to be about as voluntary as the hamster with a 9V battery wired into its brain. Those who wish to keep the events of the first Portal a mystery should return to this review at a later date and direct your browser here in the mean time.įor the curious and completely un-initiated, Portal is a FPPPGWP (First Person Platformer Puzzle Game with Portals – yes, I just made that up). Portal 2 does not disappoint.ĭisclaimer: Avoiding spoiling the events of the first game is sadly unavoidable although I promise with crossed eyes and needles in my heart to not reveal the story of Portal 2. ![]() Bringing with it a closing to one of the best marketing campaigns seen, heard and experienced in recent times, the wait is now finally over and my dreams have become a reality. Knowing that some of the greatest, most creative minds in the industry have long been at work on the follow up to the sleeper agent of The Orange Box, I never once doubted that Portal 2 would be anything less than legendary. The anticipation for Portal 2 has been like no other. These punishingly long years preceding Portal 2’s release last week have at least been filled with those spontaneous bursts of desire to return to Portal, with the experience never failing to put anything short of a great big silly grin across my face. Ignoring Portal until I had played through Episode Two was a mistake I feel I share with millions, sidelining one of the single greatest video game experiences that I never saw coming. I’d been waiting just over a year to follow on from Episode One and no amount of hype or clever marketing was ever going to have me playing one of the other included titles first.
