"If physics times no longer works, trust in God"

That's just one of the many sayings which you get thrown during the entire term of the head. At that time still a nice supplement to the Orange Box, is now a full-fledged game. After the huge success and brilliant idea, a sequel was only a matter of time. The jump from 1 << >> portal for Part 2 took awhile. Now it's there and beats its predecessor by a mile ... but unfortunately not in all respects.

What I like:

+ Incredible Syncronsprecher. One of the greatest strengths of Portal 2 >> << are the Syncronsprecher. The voices of GLaDOS and Wheatley are to excel in humor and sarcasm barely. For me personally, that's Refenzverdächtig spoken here.
+ Incredibly entertaining. The story is very entertaining and all "protagonists" make their contribution. Everyone knows great to entertain.
+ Incredibly unique ... that I will now just be so ;-)
+ Great level constructions which demand the brain and partly good, if also offer a few effects.
+ Growing difficulty, slow zoom which beginners to connoisseurs all leads and asks later correctly and ties. It's amazing how this game a principle binds to the TV and motivated.
+ Split Screen & Coop story. Yes you read correctly, Valve donated a specially created co-op mode with its own story, which is really great fun and teamwork requires. The splitscreen is a prime example of a really good split-screen, it extends the way over the whole image and is divisible both horizontally and vertically. And here is the voice of Glados the secret star and the humor has no equal.
+ One of the best games characters of all time. Even if you do not often get to GLaDOS face and she actually is just a Oller computer, it is easy allgegenwertig and absolutely unique.
+ The main story has a length of about 7-8 hours (which is of course just like the Coop, primarily depends on the style of play). It may therefore be longer ... or shorter.
+ The Coop story is a little shorter and proposes to beech with about 5-6 hours
+ Adds up loosely 15 hours Entertainment
+ Great and varied reches Level Design. Finally you get a comprehensive look behind the scenes.
+ So that I have never really counted as positive (or negative) points, is here but really mounted times. And gets the song uncredited a + point of me because alone is worth the gamble by because there is absolutely awesome and ready for sale.

What I LESS LIKE:

-The graphics ... So honestly, I think the developers have stopped in the time of 1 << >> portal. The graph has really only minimally improved (Portal gun, light and shadow effects, some Anni mation, everything now looks a bit rounder and prettier) what is bad or not so good in itself, but also not up to date. Due to the subject of "labs" is the environment of course kept very sterile which indeed fits in principle, but even here we all too often find textures such as floor panels or the like, which are muddy and blurred or objects such as tables, computers etc. which look like from the 90s (not ;-) understands the style of her but the graphics and the disappointed already, because the developers had now to meet in terms of environments and locations really no huge task as far as the graphic aspect. If that's not enough, you must only once two portals so that he put the main character and the movement looks ... laughter are guaranteed!
-Most Objects look absolutely the same, no detail diversity or creativity. It was really set everything on puzzle design and it shows sometime.
-Absolutely, absolutely annoying load times. The biggest point of criticism in the first Portal was clearly the constant loading pauses for me. The Valve has unfortunately continued here consistently. After each test chamber is increasing most in getting the same lift to the next chamber to arrive and in this process just keeps getting charged ... again and again until you finally end up in the next section. To make matters worse you get to 90% also set the same loading screen before the nose and over again ... and again. When you consider what make other developers without charging breaks accomplish anything, or how creative even some have been here, which is shown here almost ridiculous because even "bigger" sections in which there are, for example, no elevators, are then always the same doors and naturally separated charging pauses, over and over again. The tears one over and over again that is as good as garkeine atmosphere build something from outside and also keep leaves. Here, the developer probably had no desire hang High.
-no replayability. If you go through the story is either Trophy-hunting or on the shelf.
-sonst ehr low score
-to finish the single player story can not be selected as the co-op mode, the individual tests, but only the individual chapters, which eats really an awful lot of time. (In the Trophy-hunting)
-very straight, there is no alternative rods and only one solution leading to the goal of the test or output.

CONCLUSION:
>> << Portal 2 stands out for its uniqueness. The level respectively. Puzzle design, the gameplay itself, the idea behind the characters who Syncronisation that short atmosphere during the test chambers, etc., all this makes Portal 2 >> << into something very special. There is also a split screen of obsolete with his story length already own most FPS, not to mention the actual main story unterhällt which loosely 7-8 hours. So you get here offered a number of entertainment for your money. Only the eye usually goes away empty-handed. The overall picture is okay and I think only because of the optics would also not really interested in Portal 2 >> <<. Still, it's damn weak and courageous, to put everything on the gameplay. It did work, yet are the many weak textures and especially the charge breaks too often occurring beneath contempt and another game had been this long since torn in the air. Here, however, win the innovation and therefore there is only one star deduction. >> << Portal 2 is an experience that has no equal. It is special and the very own and positive manner.

Buy, enjoy, have fun and ... admire loading screens ...
