    New classic video game line: " You are about to become the past president of the still alive club!"

    I have only played the single player mode. I think the coop mode has awesome potential, but have been diverted by other things.

    If you liked the original Portal, this one is much the same. They introduced many more elements to the game, so it stays interesting. The puzzle aspect is still there. The script has real LOL moments, but is similar in style to the first one.

    Some of the new aspects are different types of goo, one of them makes you jump, one of them makes you run fast and one allows you to put portals on surfaces its painted. Another is a bridge, you can send the bridge through portals. These all add alot of elements to the way the game plays.

    One sentence review: If you liked the original Portal, you will like this one.
    Is it worth $50: Hard to say without playing the coop, I would imagine that would make this a resounding yes, but for me it was worth it. But I can see for others they may want to wait until it's $30. I don't think anyone could complain about this game for $30.

    It is great Atomm, though I agree with Bubba about the pricing, it is a bit short. The humor is straight classic, I have played the first 38 levels of co-op and can't wait for the next 8 or so but haven't found a cooper to play with just yet.

    The single player have only played a few levels of but the plot twists keep coming.

    Co-Op replayability relies on how close you want to get to the no steps challenge that P1 had. Otherwise it might be a single run through thing. Custom levels would solve that of course, LBP style. And I think they are running rampant right now.

    BTW did I mention the crazy humor is still there.. nothing can be that sarcasticlly backhanded homicidal as the machines Valve creates.
