Launches in 51 minutes or less. I leave for work in 65 minutes. WHYYYY.

Anyway, post impressions of it etc. in this thread. Co-op anyone?

Playing it now. Seems quite similar to the first one at the moment; I'm sure Valve will have something up their sleeve as it progresses though.

The co-op is amazing. It's even more of a mindfuck when you have another set of portals to work with.

I would but I've already done half of it D: It's only fun if both players have absolutely no idea what the hell they're doing. Dogging each other out on traps, shooting lasers at each other and shooting portals under each other's feet is especially fun too. Eventually had to settle for a 'only one kill per level' rule because we weren't making all that much progress. I suggest you do the same =T

I'm contemplating buying it tonight, pending whether i can find someone to do co-op with or something, otherwise 6 hours of gameplay doesn't sound like good value for money to me =[

so if someone is doing co-op from the beginning, let me know.


ps. i'll most likely be shit. I can't think very well with portals.

Yeh, I only clocked up about 10 hours gameplay total to finish both single and co-op. It's a fairly fast game - perhaps a bit longer if you're slower with the puzzles. The price is worth the 10 hours though I guess.

I haven't done coop yet, all my mates keep saying "soon", so I've held off on doing it with random Steam friends. Jerks.

I got it for $40 or so, which I didn't think was that high for the experience I had/will have

Beat single player, it's a good campaign, but not as challenging as the original Portal. It's still fun.

Co-Op is freaking amazing though. Only up to chapter 3 because of friends being too lazy to play with me. If someone wants to do Co-Op with me yes please, I downloaded it though so to play with me you need Hamachi which only takes like 2 seconds to install anyway.

Somehow GLaDOS just doesn't seem up to snuff here...

Played a bit at MC Internet, dialogue is as funny as number 1, gameplay is always terrific
May buy it at the end of year Steam sales
