Hi guys, just a quick question on Portal 2.

I've just got the game and want to play co-op with my mate. Do you recommend that i complete the single player campaign first? Are there spoilers in the co-op to do with the single player?

Cheers!!

The two stories aren't strongly connected, but the co-op is set after the single player campaign and is missing all of the tutorials that you'd normally get by playing through the game...so I'd suggest playing the single player first.

You shouldn't need to. The Portal 2 continues the story of Portal 1, but the story wasn't that important to where you'll miss out on anythingimportant form what I've seen.

It's up to you. If you want to play the coop mode with your friend then play it, but I would strongly recommend playing the single player first, just so that you can get into the concepts of the game and what features you can use. If you know what you're doing and have played the first Portal game, then you could skip the main story. Remember that the story follows Portal > Portal 2 Single Player > Portal 2 Multiplayer.

i dont know about you but i always like to understand the new concepts in a single player mode before i start showing off my intelligence in multiplayer mode.
