I would say it's at least three times as long as the original. Took me about 5-6 hours.

Ah. So Nihillo just had an absurd amount of time on his hands then.

I actually dug the twist in the story. Unexpected. I spoiled it by watching a YouTube playthrough since I'm waiting until it goes on sale.

Finished it in one play through. It released at about 2:30pm here, so I had the rest of the afternoon to play it. Gonna start Co-Op with Moving_Target now

Co-op is hilariously awesome. Puzzles are kinda easy. Only a few had us stopping and thinking, and dying a few times. Valve made coop amazing in Portal 2. Played 3 hours of Coop together.

Yes, you can definitely tell that Valve put equal amount of time into both the singleplayer and multiplayer experiences. They did not just merely focus on one and chuck in the other randomly. The puzzles Target and I got through were relatively easy, but still hilarious amounts of fun. I did not realize pressing a button to recieve some objects, only to get hit by them into deadly water would be so funny.

I just beat the singleplayer. Like others, I won't spoil anything, but it was a fantastic game. I'd agree that it's about 2-3 times in length though.

Yes, I
made some time just for this.
It took me about 8 hours to beat the Single Player campaign. I like to think of it as being divided into three distinct acts, each one of them very unique. I would say each act is about as long as the original Portal.

I have WAY too much going on this week and next week to get this game. Glad to hear everyone likes it though. Hopefully I can get it and play through it next weekend!
Edit: Or should I say, I'm "GLaD" to hear it?

^HarHarHar puns!
Poor Wheatley, he was so chill. I really liked him. I actually noticed that he's somewhat of a spiritual brother to 343 guilty spark, in both a physical and story-progressing way.

Hey Grev, you forgot to use the spoiler tags, you almost let everyone know that Wheatley is Chell's father.

Isnt that the pilot calling the...pilot black? How do I say that with it being funny and not racist. Hmm....

I'm a little behind, but I just beat it (truthfully, not JUST. But a few hours ago). The last second and a half made me bust out laughing. My brother asked if I was okay.

Valve, I am disappoint.

Honestly, I haven't been this disappointed in a game in a while. It just felt like it dragged on too long, and no I didn't take, like, 14 hours to beat it, I took probably about 6 and a half. I also got tired of the jokes, they just weren't funny after a while. However, I do find the co-op to be quite enjoyable.

To be fair, people
did ask for a longer game. No refunds on that part.

Anyone done the Overclocked achievement yet? I kept getting 72-80 seconds but then I destroyed it in 57.
Also, there's a hidden Turret song in the first Laser/Turret Test Chamber. Not going to say where it is but you'll know when you find it.

I've gotten every singleplayer achievement except for Smash TV, which I plan on getting tonight, so I'd say I'm pretty much done with singleplayer for awhile.
I can't wait to do coop with a friend of mine. It looks awesome and hilarious from the videos I've seen.

I was able to reschedule my job interview (what was killing my weekend), so now I can haz Portal 2!
I haven't played much, but so far I'm having a great time with it. The puzzles are clever and GLaDOS's pitch black humor gets me frequently laughing out loud. I can't wait to play through the rest of it!
Edit: Just finished!! I absolutely loved the game. The puzzles, the plot (especially the twist!), the humor, everything. Reminds me why I love Valve so much.

Hopefully one of these days I can play through Co-op with someone (will probably have to wait until school is over).
