Pros

Challenging cooperative mode extends the story.
Excellent expansion of original concept.
Hilarious writing, voice acting.
Fun cooperative mode.
Terrific writing and voice acting adds two new memorable personalities to the Portal cast.
New environmental elements including hard light bridges and super ability gels create fresh space-time-bending twists.

Cons

That it eventually comes to an end.
On the short side.
Limited post-game extras.
Cooperative mode expansions get expensive quickly.
No competitive play.
Loading screens are a bit too frequent.
No Half-Life Easter eggs this time.
Second act is a bit aimless inbetween stages.
New ending theme is no "Still Alive."

Every designer's nightmare - making the sequel better than the original - has become a glorious triumph with the introduction of more characters, more gizmos, more humour and a fiendishly clever co-op mode that will leave you begging for Portal 3...

Valve has an undeniable knack for creating compelling and intriguing game worlds, and the massive underground complex of Aperture Science is certainly no exception. The relative lack of context and background information paired with the seemingly rich...

A strong contender for 2011 game-of-the-year, this spatial puzzler is as instantly addictive and engaging as its predecessor. It’s essential gaming. Fresh and imaginative ways to play with the space-time continuum come with each new chamber, and I...

Portal 2 is a clever game. That doesn’t mean it wears a monocle, sips on tea and appreciates contemporary art (because that would make it pretentious). Portal 2 is a game that makes you think long and hard (totally refrained from a...
