Re: Portal 2 Coming in April
Just finished it a few minutes ago. I agree with those who have said it wears thin at times, and I only had one thing I had to youtube, and then it turns out I was on the right track anyway. Either way it has perhaps the greatest ending of any game I have played recently.

Finished. Way too easy. The final levels were a breeze, although doing it after a good nights sleep probably helped. The ending is very clever.

Re: Portal 2 Coming in April
Just finished too. I was close to youtubing on the first Repulsant Gel puzzle (Where you have to leap a giant broken bridge), but found it out close to giving up.

Other than that, it mostly had me thinking for a couple of minutes without being overly complicated, exactly as I like it for a single-player story mode.
The story was also pretty good. Never expected much stuff that happened, story-wise. Top-notch.

There's one somewhere with full movie credits (including "From the novel by CAVE JOHNSON").
Re: Portal 2 Coming in April
I finished it over the weekend. A few of the puzzles were pretty tough, but overall it wasn't too challenging. I liked the bouncy and speed gels. Co-op mode was awesome, it was fun to play w/ another person.
Re: Portal 2 Coming in April
I thought the whole thing was magnificent. I think they could have removed a chapter's worth of puzzles and focused on making the others a bit more difficult, but that is seriously my only complaint.
However, I did read somewhere that they originally had much harder puzzles but the QA testers said they were too difficult for them and that they should be simplified a bit. In response to this though, the coop puzzles I hear are much harder and that they will have free DLC (for PC users) that includes more puzzles.
In terms of story, I felt it was well paced and was the opposite of what cheated is. GLADOS churned out much more sarcastic humor this time, which I appreciated and Wheatly was a fun counterpart to that.
Cave Johnson though has to be my favorite part of the whole thing, although despite the popularity surrounding the "lemon" speech I found that moment incredibly sad and had to pause for minute to take it all in.
Overall, it really was one of Valve's best games.
