I havnt decided yet if I should buy it. I probably wont unless valve does frequent updates with more levels and puzzles, cause let's be honest, you can only do the puzzles once.

If I do the co-op with a buddy, and we race through all the levels within a couple of hours, I call it a waste of 50 euros.

You can do the puzzles many times. I did them many times with the original portal :)

Yeah, the old portal had a few very tricky advanced maps which added quite a bit of replay value.

Adding achievements is the cheapest and most lazy way to add 'replay value'.

And as for replaying the old levels... If I did something once, I remember exactly how I did it, so it's no fun at all. Tales of monkey Island has the same problem, you can only finish it once.

Interesting, Valve are pushing indie games linked with a way to get Portal 2 earlier. Clever marketing?

Ofcourse it is, since a lot of people buy those games just get portal 2 a WHOLE DAY sooner. Valve doesn't give a BLEEP about indy games though, I'm pretty sure they got some kind of deal with the manufacturer of most of those games anyway.

The "buy stuff for your robot" store is a bit of a rip-off. :shock:

Rip-off? More like total-waste-of-any-form-of-currency.

Took me 6.5 hours to finish. Cool game. Unique ending, didn't expect that.
