My absolute favorite aspect of the game, and what makes it so timeless for me, is the humor and the characters that deliver it. I absolutely love the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy books, and the humor in them, along with Monte Python, is I think the biggest influences for Portal's humor.

When students from DigiPen showed off their project Narbacular Drop to a room full of Valve personell, they probably didn't expect that they would not only be hired, but given a budget to expand that idea into something as special as we see with Portal. It's quirky, clever, polished, and presented with a spark of a subtly evil humor that it's hard not to enjoy the quick romp through Aperture Laboratories. The problem is that it is so quick. Players wanting to get their money's worth will want to play through again and definitely check out the challenges.
Portal uses a concept that's a bit hard to wrap your head around without actually seeing it in action. The only "weapon" you're given is a portal gun that can shoot a portal entrance with the right mouse button and a portal exit with the left mouse button. Once both portals have been placed, you can walk though the entrance and find yourself at the exit. Walk through the exit and you're back at the entrance. The portals can be shot across a distance but only on certain surfaces, which creates the puzzle atmosphere. You'll have to figure out how to get across chasms, up and over obstacles, and around automated turrets. The trick is that you can only have one entrance and one exit meaning sometimes you'll encounter several kinds of brain teasers on how to use the portals correctly, and in some cases, quickly and often. It'll make you think about which portal you're placing, the exact location of where it needs to go, and the timing of when portals need to be switched.
The fun thing about many of these puzzles is that you're not the only thing that can move through these portals. The weighted companion blocks can be used to take out turrets by placing a portal over the turret's head and another under a block. Energy spheres (like those found in Half-Life 2) are used frequently where players have to negotiate their path using portals to activate a switch. There are some really fun uses of the portals here, especially in all of those strange moments where you can see yourself through a portal across the room entering the portal you're stepping through. It's pretty easy to find yourself plopping portals on the ceiling and the floor to go into a constant freefall or place two portals in the corner of the room and chase your own tail. Very bizarre.
For 20 dollars, it may be a little pricey for what’s there, but we certainly won't tell anybody not to buy Portal. We recommend picking this one up with the full Orange Box because it’s hard to say no to another peek into this awesome universe and it does fit together with Episode Two.
Sep 17, 2024 · Portal is a fantastic game that should be played by anyone interested in unique, well-crafted gameplay and a witty, whip-smart script.
Apr 3, 2008 · The portal gun is the most exciting thing to happen to FPS games since the gravity gun, and it's no surprise to discover that Valve is agonising over whether to give it to Gordon Freeman.
