I was right. THIS GAME WOULD KICK ASS.
Portal 2, the sequel to 2007's Portal (Which oh so happens to be my second favorite game), takes place in the distant future, where plants have decayed the once pristine labs of Aperture Science. You are woken up from your "long term relaxation" by Wheatley, a little AI sphere with a blue eye and energetic personality. He wants you to escape from Aperture with him. Along the way, you cross the body of GlaDOS, the AI you destroyed in the first game. You accidentally turn her on, and.... you'll have to play the game to learn more. The story is excellently written, GlaDOS and Wheatley's bickering never ceases to make me burst out laughing. The gameplay is more or less the same thing as the original Portal, speedy thing goes in one portal, speedy thing comes out the other. The biggest addition are the new gels, a paint like substance which you can splatter on walls, cubes, turrets, etc. Certain gels do certain things, blue gel makes you bounce, orange gel speeds you up, white gel makes any surface portal-able. The game is a good 4-6 hours long, depending how deep you get into the story and how long it takes to solve a puzzle. In short, Portal 2 rocks. It's well worth your money. Only flaw I can find is that it sometimes the story parts drag on and on. Other than that, yeah. My new favorite game.
