Portal - great game or the greatest game?

i have to say for the 2 hours it took me to complete the game it was simply amazing and didn't overstay its welcome. every part of the game was fun and was also very funny. i will be spending a lot of time replaying the main game and the bonus maps. best 2 hour video game ever made.

here's to hoping they make a Portal 2!

don't worry cows, you'll get to play it soon enough. ;)

First we must ask ourselves.

Cake or No Cake? Is the cake a lie?

Then we may venture into talks of greaness.

If a robot bakes a cake, but there is no one around to eat it, is the cake real? :oVandalvideo

Does a bear @%#$ in the woods?

the song at the end was my fav part of a great game

It's a ****ing lie!

It's a great game with a good sense of humor sprinkled with a dash of originality.

Good times.

made me sick, played it for 4 minutes......so it cant be a great game

Great game, but nowhere near greatest game.

I enjoyed its puzzles for the most part, and most were fairly clever.. but i guess i just wasn't that wowed by them. There's not much negative to say besides its ridiculousshort length, but it just doesn't leave the feeling of "greatest experience". The best part of that game was the personality, as far as i'm concerned.. as a result, i've lost all interest in trying to do the harder challenges..i started, but perhaps i'll finish them later after i get through ep 1 and ep 2.

Simply fantastic.

I adored it; however, I wouldn't (personally) say it's the greatest game of all time. Funny thing is, with the cake aside, I can't think of any valid criticisms. Most will attack its length, but it suits the story. I'd rather not have excessive filler content simply to match today's standards. In taking replayability, additional content, and challenges into the equation, the value is met. You can stretch about 10 hours out of Portal. Not bad for a $20 game.

Halo 3 had too many colors with motion blur, played it for 4 minutes...so it cant be a great game.

Obviously this isnt true but if you think your original post is logical then so is my response.

One of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing, no joke.BioShockOwnz

Halo made me sick, i played it for 1minute.. so it can't be a geat game. Seriously anyone with master chief in thier potrait I find it very hard to take them seriously. They mostly sound like twelve year olds.

Greatest game ever? No.

One of the greatest games ever? Maybe.

Great Game? Hell yes!

The only thing I'm not sure about is the games length. I think it was a little too short, but then again if it was much longer it could have gotten old.

it was awesome, but i really dont see playing it through again

and the bonus maps really had me punching my face

Great game. Just goes to show you, we need very little to be entertained.

I liked Portal. I thought it was fun, different, crazy! It was definitely a unique gaming experience for me.

But just because it's "different" doesn't make it the greatest. It was a breath of fresh air though and I thought it was great.

This is how I feel, the game is a lot of fun but surely not close to the greatest game ever. The game has many flaws besides the short length that you can look past because of how much fun it is. The puzzles were incredibly easy, including the advanced maps. The gold challanges are a joke for the most part, I have found it near impossible to do any of the gold step challanges. The portal gold challanges are quite easy too. There is pretty much zero story to the game too, which can be overlooked because it makes you feel like all you have to do is solve puzzles, this gives the game little replay value when going through the story.

The gold step challanges make me want to shoot myself in the face, they are horrible!

The game is fun, but I got all the play out of it I can and don't think I'll be going back for another play through anytime soon. Team Fortress 2 however... I'm addicted to that.
