Portal???

Am I the only one who doesn't get Portal and Portal 2? I just don't get it. I've read about it, and I've watched other people play it and it just looks like a weird game to me. It doesn't look interesting at all. And I'm just curious, what's with all the hype? Is it really that good? Can someone explain this game to me because I really want to try it.

Why don't you play the demo, if you want to try it?

The most interesting part are the story and characters. The game is well written and despite the lack of quantity of characters, the quality is top notch. Definitely one of the most unique and unforgettable games out there. Recommended!

Get The Orange Box. If ever you don't like it, you got other games to choose from.

get gamefly and rent it. but to answer your inquiry, it is a puzzle game, that mind f*ks you, if you like that kind of thing; i do :3. get it if you like puzzles, and problem solving. after the campaign and coop levels, it is a dead game. new levels are coming out soon, but it gets old; just like sudoku.

Thanks guys. I might just try the demo. I love puzzle games, so maybe I'll love Portal 2.

You have to try Portal first mate.

Yeah, I've got to try the first one before I play the second. Especially if there's a good storyline to it.

Gotta play it yourself. Otherwise it's not that fun to watch.

Really? You can mention defying the laws of physics "along" with the story and the characters. How about that?

Its just a fun puzzle game and its not for everyone but what gets me about the series is the interesting story and unique gameplay elements.

It's HILARIOUS!!! Seriously, the characters and the things they say are so funny. I particularly loved Cave Johnson in Portal 2. His quip about life and lemons is probably my favorite quote from a videogame ever.
