# I gave up on making this look good and just went to play the damn game

# Is it good? The preview videos I saw looked pretty damn fine.
Much like your pic :)

# It's amazing.
I'm only at the fourth chapter at the moment, but it's actually given me a pure injection of fun into my veins.

# Its fantastic!
I have completed it to the end of the single player campaign, and part of the coop campaign.

# It's a good game, but not up to the level of the original.
In my opinion the singleplayer is too long, the humour lacks the subtlety and darkness of the first game, the puzzles, jokes and environments got repetitive very fast and the story was ridiculous.
I found the co-op much better than the singleplayer, but it was too short, lacking in significant challenge and failing to explore many of the possibilities I found most interesting.

# I'm guessing Portal 2 but I've never played the game
and have no concept of what the game is about

# Well portal 1 was about a psychology student trapped in a series of experiments
so I'm guessing the sequel contains exams or lectures, something like that.

# It's a retread of the first one, but this time around you get to play the Companion Cube.
I don't go a lot on the controls though, they seem pretty unresponsive. Most of the first few levels are pretty boring, not a lot going on. And then the game ending is a bit sudden.

# you make holes and go into them very fast, occasionally you get shot at. You will get cake in the first game.
The second game you will escape, with a small ball and paranoia.

# Ah right is Portal the game that launched the internet meme The Cake is a Lie?
I think I read that on Know Your Memes apparently it's written on a maze wall and has come to mean a Reward based insentive where the reward is never forthcoming.

# It's one of my all time favourite games, and well worth a look :)

# Mind you, GLaDOS, the domineering robot mother promising you the cake, does actually reveal near the end that she knows some cake recipes
and then there's a scene in the closing titles which suggests there really was cake, but it's left a bit deliberately ambiguous, to toy with your emotions.

# CAVE JOHNSON HERE.

Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down...with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

# is it good? I see there are a lot of negative reviews
saying its stupid short and massively overpriced for a puzzle game

*Edit - also, what the fuck? I just got this when I hit refresh:

Normal
2x Speed
1.5x Speed
Normal Speed
½ Speed
¼ Speed
3D
Stereo Mode (change...)


3d was a link to b3ta 3d mode but I got a 404. Have I seen behind the curtain and will I now be dead by morning?

# It does seem quite short because it's quite easy, I don't know how far I am through it at the moment.
But I've not had a game that has given me this much pure fun in ages. My first time on the aerial faith plates I was almost crying with fun, it feels so smooth and natural and amazing.

The only problems I've had is probably to do with leaving other programs up around the background while playing, it's juddered a bit when I got shot by some turrets.

Edit: yes. You're going to die.

# :(
That was the only downside with the first one, the length. Thought they said they were going to make this one long enough to justify a standalone release title price point? I'm disappointed if so because this is one of only a couple of games that I've been looking forward to over the last year.

# Saw a video with that guy in it. I don't normally like the other half of Gervais, or the other two halves, but he seemed quite well placed.
And nicely!
