DESCRIPTION
Portal is a 3D puzzle game played from a first-person perspective. The object is to advance through a series of rooms by using a gun to create a means of escape. Instead of lasers or bullets, the gun fires one of two opposing portal types: orange and red. One could be used as an entrance, while the other used as an exit. Portals can be fired on most surfaces, and the gun can also be used to pick up and toss objects. Storage and weighted "companion" cubes found within rooms are creatively used to activate switches, knock out security droids, and more. Turret guns, toxic liquid, crushing walls, and other hazards must also be avoided throughout play. A sarcastic, female-voiced computer will monitor your performance and serves as a droll guide for each area. In addition to the main game, players can unlock both a challenge and an advanced mode for more deviously designed puzzles and goals. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“A wonderful and unusual game using interdimensional doors. Uses the Source engine and contains plenty of Valve humor and Half-Life related references.”

“Sadly this game is a lot shorter than a lot of people would like it to be. I beat the thing within 3 hours on my first play thought. However while I was playing it I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave my computer. It's got moments where you need precision and reflexes as well as quick thinking and cunning. A simple minimalist story, but still compelling because of the dark humor they through in at random points in the game.
Steam's achievements system will keep you playing for a little while after you beat the game, however as a while once you've beating it, it severely lowers the re-playability.”

“This is the most fun I had in a FPS and brought me back to trying FPS type games. (Portal itself is all physics puzzles, but is a first person shooter-style game where you only have a portal gun.”
