Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful GamePortal is one of my favorite games. The story mode is very fun to play through. The puzzles are all at just the right level of difficulty. They are not to easy but can be solved if you try hard enough. Many other reviewers have complained that the game is to short, and the story mode is. However, there are countless online communities where people can submit fun and challenging Portal maps to download and play. Because of these people, Portal is an almost limitless game. Also, there are many challenge levels that are built into the game. This includes fun challenges such as, "least steps", "least time" and "least portals", I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzles or just wants to try a new type of gaming experience. Do not worry about the game being to short as long as you ... Read More Rating:  - An great game for teens if M games are a no-goThis game is part of the computer game pack, The Orange Box. The Orange Box has 5 games: 3 individual games and 2 expansion packs. The 3 games are Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. The Expansion packs are Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and Half-Life 2: Episode 2, both sequels of Half-Life 2. All of these games, with the exception of Portal are rated M. Portal is rated T. If you are buying Orange Box for the only game you think is appropriate for you kid, don't. Buy Portal separately. It will save you around 17 bucks. And you are still getting an awesome game Rating: - So secondary but so greatThis came with Half-Life 2 when I purchased it (The Orange Box) and I have to say that although it seems like someone made this for the devs to have some fun while making the other games - it is a blast and is worthy of standing on its own. A great concept and the Half-Life 2 engine allows for some real fun in physics while making your mind work through problem solving. Some solutions you have a bit of time to figure out and others are in the - on the fly or you die category. Fun Fun Fun is the best way to put it when it comes to this game. Rating:  - Decent game, horrible installAs has been noted by others, the installation is awful. I can't believe that I was required to open an account online just to install and play the game. I guess I will have to be more careful and review games in the future to make sure I do not purchase games controlled by Steam or any other third party vendor. I would have no issue if Steam was voluntary, but this was not voluntary. It made my install take 30 minutes because I couldn't understand why my install placed Steam on the hard drive and not Portal. I uninstalled and re-installed the software, but instead of getting Portal, Steam was installed again. Eventually I realized I had to do a second re-install after Steam was installed to get Portal on, but not until the software directed me to setup an online account with Steam. ... Read More Rating: - Great game!Portal is simply amazing. The characters, although really, there are only two (unless you count the companion cube =P) are very well thought out and really interesting, you'll get pulled into the story and won't want to stop until you figure out what is what. (And even by the end, there's still loose ends that make you really want more). Great game, great story, let's just hope to death that there's a SEQUEL! |
