Having not played Portal, I didn't really know what to expect from this game. And I guess that's what made the game pleasantly refreshing. I found it very fun playing a game that didn't involve big guns, but still managed to keep the action up. The game style was very good, having a good combination of challenge, playability, and catchy storyline. The challenge came in the form of having to figure out what to do to pass the level. Playability in the form of easy controls, and a simple tool-set to work with. Now the storyline I found the best, nothing like a completely narcissistic megalomaniac robot, with a penchant for testing, providing a great narrative the whole way through. All in all, not a bad game at all, only problem being that it is not really the type of game you can play over and over, the storyline is completely linear, and fairly short compared to most games. So my recommendation would be to hire it rather than buy it, but a must play game.
All in all, a solid 4 out of 5 for this one.
