  • Welcome to Watchmojo.com and today we'll be filling you in on everything you should know about Portal 2 by Valve.
  • Number 1. The Plot.
  • In Portal 2, you once again take on the role of Chell, the test subject who defeated the insane artificial intelligence computer system named GLaDOS.
  • Awoken in the far future, you and a friendly personality sphere named Wheatley must now repair the Aperture Science Facility.
  • However, in the process he accidentally revives GLaDOS and she decides to once again use you as her guinea pig.
  • Number 2. The Setting.
  • Once again taking place in the Aperture Science Facility, it has changed due to being physically untouched by human hands and has been overrun by decay and nature.
  • During your adventures, you will travel from a fake hotel room to a giant warehouse that is constantly changing and back into the Aperture Science Testing Facility.
  • Freshly rebuilt and larger than ever, there will again be occasions when you travel behind the scenes, away from the observation and control of the devious AI.
  • Number 3. Personality Cores.
  • Within the game, you will encounter several personality cores and work together with one named Wheatley.
  • A kind and bumbling intelligence, Wheatley's main concern is the increasing state of decay of the facility.
  • As your guide, he helps you during the tutorial and initial stages.
  • Number 4. Gameplay and Items.
  • Once again wielding the Portal Gun, which connects two areas across space, you must make your way through numerous physics-based puzzles.
  • Along the way, you will jump and interact with the environment in order to survive the various locations.
  • Adding many levels to these challenges and brain teasers are the addition of items such as Tractor Beams, Laser Redirection Cubes, Aerial Faith Plates, Pneumatic Transport Tubes and special paint-like gels.
  • Number 5. Gels.
  • The most important and spectacular change to Portal is the inclusion of the gels and their physics.
  • These gels will alter whatever surface they touch within the environment.
  • They include Propulsion Gel, which boosts your speed across surfaces, and Repulsion Gel, which allows you to bounce off of a surface.
  • These compounds can even be applied to objects to change their physical nature and help you complete tasks in order to progress.
  • Number 6. Cooperative Campaign.
  • Unlike the first game, Portal 2 will feature its own secondary campaign and plot starring two robotic characters named Atlas and Peabody.
  • These bipedal machines have been made from a repurposed personality sphere and gun turret.
  • Together, players must control these self-aware machines and work together to complete the test chambers and discover the reason for their existence.
  • Number 7. Going the Distance.
  • With the original Portal game becoming a surprise hit, Valve has gone the extra mile to not only add a much deeper story, but one full of personality, side characters, and songs similar to the incredibly popular tune,
  • Still Alive, from the first game.
  • Players will also get to learn more about the Ratman that left you messages on the walls in Portal 1, but experience a campaign and cooperative mode that are each almost three times larger than the original.
  • Available for the PC, OSX, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, Portal 2 tells a cinematic story while delivering a cutting-edge first-person puzzle experience that should not be missed.
