Hey guys,

I have ordered Portal 2 online but won't get it 'til April 27th because Amazon are crap :)

I was thinking about going to my local GAME store today so i can get it now, then just ebay the Amazon one when i get it.

Is it worth it? I have heard bad reviews from people but iloved portal 1 so much and i desperately want P2 now!

Good enough to go to town for, or just "meh..wait 5 days"?

Yes buy it. If you love the first one, you should love the second. There are alot more chambers to figure out, the story is better, with some plot twists, and the story actually fills you in on the history of Aperture, and GLaDOS.

It's well worth the $60, and even better if you got the $20 credit from Amazon

Ignore the bad reviews this game is worth every penny. It's an incredible experience from start to finish. Just make sure you have a friend to play co-op with, the campaign can last 5-9 hours.

Portal 2 is a excellent game, never trust gamers opinions on anything, the only opinion that matters is yours, most gamers reviews are bias (omg overprice dlc, this game sucks ect... and other nonsense like that), I take user reviews with a grain on salt.

BLASPHEMY!

On a serious note, it is a new item, and over $25... Meaning if you ordered it AFTER launch (ie: Tues/Wed), you would get free 3 day shipping anyways and thus get it Friday or Saturday (yesterday or today)... And if you pre-ordered it, you would get free release date shipping and would have had it at launch... That coupled with the fact that Amazon doesn't even offer anything less than 3 day shipping... So if you are getting it Wednesday, you would have needed to order today, a weekend, when they do not ship... Meaning your own fault, not Amazon's.

DON'T BAD MOUTH AMAZON WE ARE LOVERS!

I think I am just going to rent it. After I beat the game I feel like there won't be too much to do.

Portal 2 is sheer, unadulterated genius from the opening to the credits. And then you have the co-op. It may lack a little replay value, but it deserves your $60 and attention anyway, which is a testament to it's quality. I actually went down to GameStop and bought it because I couldn't be bothered to wait for it from GameFly after reading all the positive reviews.

Portal 2 is an awsome game. The writing is great, plus there are a lot of new features to make test chambers even harder and more fun. It;s not going to its full potential if you dont have a partner for co-op though.

bad reviews? the game has a 9.5 average, lol. i'm getting it when the price drops, since i thought the first portal was a bit overrated.
