EU copy played on a Xbox 360.

The perfect sequel and bigger in virtually every way. The original Portal birthed somewhat of a miniature meme culture around it with the whole cake and sarcastic AI business, and while it was a great, small-scale experience, it was rather straight forward once you'd arrive at its narrative twist. Portal 2 however ramps everything up in terms of its world, gameplay and puzzle design, and executes it all flawlessly. The co-op stuff was similarly fun but if you managed to find yourself playing with a friend who had either blasted through it with someone else already or had a different skill level of problem solving to you it could be a frustrating experience at times.
