Your mind will boggle and heart will jump as you once again use the laws of physics and portals in this awesome sequel.
Let's start with the gameplay. Simplistic and satisfying. The world around you is a great big playground. And given dominion over the laws of physics with the portal gun, you can take the wheel and easily enjoy the ride. It's fun and fantastic. Using portals to solve puzzles take a good amount of thinking, but not so much that it'll hurt your head, which is perfect. The gel features takes the gameplay to a whole new level and makes the game itself even more fun. The chambers provides many options to solve the puzzles, and when you don't feel like doing them, you can goof off and make your own mini-physics carnival to enjoy.
The controls is great. Simple (my favorite word), is the main thing. Everything responds perfectly and easy to play with.
The graphics is great as well. Nice area designs to show the world of Portal's deterioration and characters from the past. Also, the new characters' creations are well done and remarkable to gaze at.
The story and characters are hilarious. A few new characters have been added, and they will make you chuckle and laugh out loud in every moment they seize. GLaDoS returns and throws every negative thing about you at your face because of the past. However, the comments would rather make you laugh than scare you, which is great for those who are concerned about children playing the game and listening to those types of words. Suspense and action takes over the game and there's not much of a dull moment.
The music and sound, though not much are heard, fits the game greatly. I like how it goes into effect whenever you fly across the screen, running and bouncing on gels, and during the cutscenes.
The features are the best. Buying a new copy will give you and extra for free on PC. In addition to that, you can cross-co-op with PC gamers for a two player game mode (also local in case). The two player mode makes the game even better. A great long campaign is filled with awesome puzzles requiring two heads to solve 'em. The characters are funny and make the co-op enjoyable. Gestures, cursors, and 4 portals make the mode fun, attractive and full of replay values.
The downside of the game is that there are quite a lot of loading moments. Though, they do not last long. Overall, Portal 2 is a great sequel and definitely reccommended to boggle your mind and keep you smiling.
