Portal 2 – Xbox 360

Description

The highly anticipated sequel to 2007’s Game of the Year,
Portal 2 is a hilariously mind-bending adventure that challenges you to use
wits over weaponry in a funhouse of diabolical science. Using a highly
experimental portal device, you’ll once again face off against a lethally
inventive, power-mad A.I. named GLaDOS. And this time you won’t be alone. Meet
an expanded cast of characters as you think your way through dangerous, never-
before-seen areas of Aperture Laboratories. Break the laws of spatial physics
in ways you never thought possible, with a wider variety of portal puzzles and
an expansive story that spans a single player and co-operative game mode.
Portal 2 is a unique first-person Action-Puzzle-Platforming game
that tests player’s ability to think and act creatively as they use the game’s
ingenious wormhole creating portal gun to produce their own paths through
otherwise sealed surfaces and across the open spaces of the game. Sequel to
the original Portal game — the surprise add-on hit included in Valve
Corporation’s 2007 release The Orange Box — Portal 2 continues the storyline
from the first game, featuring both new and returning characters, and poses a
range of new challenges making for a much deeper game. Additional features
include a new two player co-op mode and an original soundtrack. Enjoy an
expanded storyline as you return to Aperture Laboratories to match wits with
GLaDOS. View larger. New characters and functionality expand the Portal

Portal 2 players awake in the Aperture Science Labs as Chell, the heroine of
the original game. A great expanse of time has passed since the conclusion of
the first game and the gameworld has fallen into visible disrepair, but placed
in suspended animation, Chell has survived intact and is revived. With the
help of a robotic entity the concluding events of the past game are revealed
and you escape your initial confinement, but in doing so GLaDOS, the the AI
computer antagonist from the previous game is also reawakened. Just as fickle
as ever, GLaDOS’ motives are unknown. Insisting on testing you, it may assist
you but may also be planning something more sinister. Gameplay Like the
original game, Portal 2 is a first-person Platform-Puzzle game. In the single
player campaign players assume the role of Chell, a former test subject trying
to gain her freedom from the Aperture Science facility and GLaDOS, the AI
controller of the facility. Set in the test chambers of the facility your goal
is to make your way through the game levels using your portal gun (the
Aperture Science Hand-held Portal Device). The portal gun creates temporary
passages through solid surfaces, allowing for creative platforming and
multiple possible means of clearing a level. The game also requires the player
to solve puzzles at times to clear sections of levels. In addition to point-
to-point movement through portals, players can also utilize other means of
movement of themselves and various objects. These include: using the momentum
of portal movement to make jumps to open positions like ledges; tractor beams;
and special propulsion/repulsion gels that can be carried or stored. New
Cooperative ModePortal 2 contains a multiplayer option in the form of a two-
player co-op mode. This is playable both locally and online, with split-screen
functionality available in local play and in select places during online play.
Players assume the role of one of two robotic characters, Atlas or P-body,
both new to the franchise. These two have separated from the control of GLaDOS
and so must survive its anger, divvied out in the form puzzles, obstacles and
misdirection. Each player has control of their own portal gun, which they use
to platform through the game levels, avoiding its dangers and relying on each
other. Key Game FeaturesExtensive single player game featuring next generation
