Portal Still Alive Review
One of my favorite game’s from the Orange Box was Portal and now it is available thorough the xbox live arcade for 1200 MS points ($15). In the game you play as a female test subject in a lab testing a portal gun. The concept of the game is simple place portals to get to the elevator. As you progress through the game the levels get tougher and tougher. You start out with one blue portal with the orange portal being provided for you. Once you get the second portal the game begins to get difficult. The way around obstacles are not in your face, some of these levels will really get you thinking. Physics plays a major role in the game. Some levels require you to build up enough velocity to shoot your self across the room or turn your self into a human bowling ball to knock down turrets. This game includes 14 new maps keeping the game going. With these new maps the games has great variety, from electric floors to crushing ceilings you won’t get bored. When you finish all maps you can go back and replay them to earn gold medals. This is not as easy at it seems getting gold is very difficult. With this said there are cons. First this game is great but spendy many people have all ready played the game with the Orange Box so $15 for portal alone is spendy definitely should have been 800 MS points. The graphics may look great but the levels look very similar should have been for variation in color, I found after awhile the levels looking repetitive. Last the main mission is to short I would have liked to see more added the that as well. But all that said this is a buy I give it….
9.6/10
