Portal 2

Portal 2, its not bad, its not particularly good, its... meh. yes the character wheatley, voiced by steven merchant, and the puzzles are actually puzzling and require someone with a higher IQ than a chicken to complete them, the game lacks that exciting edge that good video games have. its a bit to bitty in my eyes, its a case of section 1, story line, section 2, puzzles, section 3 storyline, section 4 puzzles, etc... they never really merge and it gets a bit boring after a while. Valve really needed to decide whether to make a storyline based game or a puzzle based game, not alternate between the two until the player gets so bored they shove the disc through the TV.

The Good
As i said earlier the puzzles can actually be fun and challenging, its a good game to play if your sick of all them shooters and horror games, and just want a brain tester. Also the co-op mode is an excellent add-on to this game, you ca really co-ordinate between each other how to complete the puzzle.

The Bad
The storyline is fucking dreadful, if they would of done what they did with portal and just added the co-op game, it could of got my game of the year, but sadly the storyline ruins it, and doesn't even flow nicely with the puzzles, they just shove the story in like a toddler playing with lego

The Rating
This is a good puzzle game if you base it off the co-op and not off the main game so i'm doing 2 ratings today.
Main game - 5/10
Co-op 9/10
