I like Shamous Young. And he pretty much sums it all up just as I see it:

Does the ending credits spoil anything? I heard its quite catchy, but I don't want to spoil the game for me.
The song is really good. I listened to it last night before going to bed. Didn't finish the game until just a few minutes ago. There's a couple spoiler-ish things in it, but nothing that really ruined anything. I didn't overthink it too much, just enjoyed the song.
Ending of the game is completely brilliant.
Long run, 2 is better than the first one, I think. I'm very pleased, feel that my money was very well spent.
Thanks
As soon as I have the money, I'm buying this game; I may suck horribly at puzzles of any kind, but I still loved Portal and am looking forward to the second one.
Just finished it, what a great game. The best singleplayer FPS experience I've had since Bioshock. The dialogue is what makes this game so great, I felt that the puzzles were only obstacles between me and more dialogue.
The ending is unique and satisfying. Props to Valve, they are one of the few remaining developers committed to unique and quality games.

So true. While I haven't played Portal 2, from what I've heard it's a stroke of genius in story telling. All of this makes me unbelievably pumped for what Valve has in store for us with Episode 3 (HL3) ... whenever the hell they decide to release it.
I've never been a fan of story-driven games. I really usually prefer something with a more open-ended exploration or something, but this really is a masterpiece of story telling. It really is.
It's actually just about making me want to go back and buy the Orange Box so I can see the whole Half-Life story from the beginning.
Allright, just finished Coop with my brother. It's a great game, both in SP and Coop, but sadly, it doesn't have much replay value once you beat it. I hope thatvalve will put out some free additional test chambers for us.
That's my problem with story-driven games right there: the replay value. When it's something with open-world gameplay, no particular established required goals, that sort of thing ... I can play that forever.
Me too, but that's more like an extra feature and not what I'd call gameplay. I want to have new tests!

Great game
Great game
Finally got around to playing the co-op with most excellent portal thinker TLChicken.
Co-Op was a complete hoot - easily as fun as SP with added laugh track.
I eagerly await modder maps for it and SP.
A little Portal 2 yumminess:

Agreed, the single player was fantastic but playing co-op with a friend (my brother in my case) just makes it ten times more fun, two people trying to coordinate two sets of portals is just too funny at times!
I tried the MP yesterday, too. Played through the first few chambers with a random partner. The individual in this case, name was 'Layne,' was a lot of fun. Pretty good thinker, and very enjoyable time.
I recommend you not watch this, it's just painful and makes you want to slam your head through a wall.
This is why developers dumb down games.
Spoiler!
