Using a highly experimental portal device, you’ll once again face off against a lethally inventive, power-mad A.I. named GLaDOS. And this time you won’t be alone. Meet an expanded cast of characters as you think your way through dangerous, never-before-seen areas of Aperture Laboratories. Break the laws of spatial physics in ways you never thought possible, with a wider variety of portal puzzles and an expansive story that spans a single player and co-operative game mode. desertcart.com Portal 2 is a unique first-person Action-Puzzle-Platforming game that tests player's ability to think and act creatively as they use the game's ingenious wormhole creating portal gun to produce their own paths through otherwise sealed surfaces and across the open spaces of the game. Sequel to the original Portal game -- the surprise add-on hit included in Valve Corporation's 2007 release The Orange Box -- Portal 2 continues the storyline from the first game, featuring both new and returning characters, and poses a range of new challenges making for a much deeper game. Additional features include a new two player co-op mode and an original soundtrack. Enjoy an expanded storyline as you return to Aperture Laboratories to match wits with GLaDOS. View larger.

Welcome Back to Aperture Laboratories In Portal 2 players awake in the Aperture Science Labs as Chell, the heroine of the original game. A great expanse of time has passed since the conclusion of the first game and the gameworld has fallen into visible disrepair, but placed in suspended animation, Chell has survived intact and is revived. With the help of a robotic entity the concluding events of the past game are revealed and you escape your initial confinement, but in doing so GLaDOS, the the AI computer antagonist from the previous game is also reawakened. Just as fickle as ever, GLaDOS' motives are unknown. Insisting on testing you, it may assist you but may also be planning something more sinister. Gameplay Like the original game, Portal 2 is a first-person Platform-Puzzle game. In the single player campaign players assume the role of Chell, a former test subject trying to gain her freedom from the Aperture Science facility and GLaDOS, the AI controller of the facility. Set in the test chambers of the facility your goal is to make your way through the game levels using your portal gun (the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device). The portal gun creates temporary passages through solid surfaces, allowing for creative platforming and multiple possible means of clearing a level. The game also requires the player to solve puzzles at times to clear sections of levels. In addition to point-to-point movement through portals, players can also utilize other means of movement of themselves and various objects. These include: using the momentum of portal movement to make jumps to open positions like ledges; tractor beams; and special propulsion/repulsion gels that can be carried or stored. New Cooperative ModePortal 2 contains a multiplayer option in the form of a two-player co-op mode. This is playable both locally and online, with split-screen functionality available in local play and in select places during online play. Players assume the role of one of two robotic characters, Atlas or P-body, both new to the franchise. These two have separated from the control of GLaDOS and so must survive its anger, divvied out in the form puzzles, obstacles and misdirection. Each player has control of their own portal gun, which they use to platform through the game levels, avoiding its dangers and relying on each other.

The original portal was an amazing and innovative game, and at least some of its appeal came from the fact that it was so unique. It stands to reason that any sequel is going to have a hard time measuring up. I say this because with Portal 2 the designers, not wanting to directly copy the original, tried to do something a little bit different, probably to keep things fresh. It works, and it makes for a great game, but it also means that you lose a little bit of the magic of portal 1. PUZZLES: The puzzle element of the game has changed a bit. In portal 1 the challenge came from figuring out exactly what you had to do, and more often than not there was more than one way to solve a particular puzzle. The game would throw you into a room and just leave you to figure things out. In Portal 2, figuring out the puzzle is still a part of the game, but most of the challenges are fairly straight forward. In many cases you'll find yourself scanning a room for the single piece of wall that you know immediately that you have to use. The "difficulty" in this game comes from the execution, more than the solving, of the puzzle. You need to hit things in just the right order, in just the right moment, jump just right, fire at the right moment, etc. The puzzles are still fun and engaging. If you have or haven't played the original you'll find them fun either way, it's just worth noting that the formula has changed somewhat, but the game remains fun. STORY: What story there was in portal 1 was told mostly in the background, through vague hints and scattered pieces of dialog. That has completely changed in portal 2. There are still plenty of subtle hints and comments to keep your ears open for, but the story element of the game has definitely taking a leading role this time around. Personally I find this to be a great change, and well worth a couple playthroughs to make sure you don't miss anything. There are plenty of easter eggs to be found. You don't need to play the original to get into the story here, though having at least the basics of what happened last time around will help you figure out what is happening at the beginning. CONCLUSION All-in-all this game is great fun, has amazing dialog, and includes a killer multiplayer mode. I highly recommend it, whether you played the original or not. The formula has changed a bit, but the game remains a great buy. Review: Excellent Sequel - I was a big fan of the original Portal and I felt that it was an incredibly innovative combination of first-person action with puzzle solving. It was (and still is) an excellent game for gamers and non-gamers alike. The sequel, Portal 2, expands greatly upon the original. It has many of the same game mechanics (and is therefore familiar to those coming from Portal) while still having the gradual learning curve that made the first game so accessible. It is also a much longer game than the fairly brief original, spanning several chapters over different types of locations. The story is absolutely wonderful and just as funny (while still being a little creepy if you think about it) as the original. You're introduced to new characters (a couple through audio recordings that guide you through levels as well as one that you interact with) and get to learn about the history of Aperture Laboratories through a series of excellent levels that take place in a huge sealed off area of the Labs. The game also introduces several new tools to use in solving puzzles and overall, it is an incredibly enjoyable experience. I did find that the puzzles (both in test chambers and out) did not reach the same level of challenge as in the original (the later levels of which involved a great deal of careful timing and fast reflexes)...some gamers may appreciate this change (with challenge emphasized more in thinking things through than quick action) while some may dislike it. So overall I'd very much recommend this game. In fact, the gameplay and story are so good that I played it twice through in a row, something I've never done with a game before! (there is also an entirely separate co-op game that I haven't played yet...it may offer some of the types of challenges that aren't in the single player experience) ## Features - Extensive single player: Featuring next generation gameplay and a wildly-engrossing story. - Complete two-person co-op: Multiplayer game featuring its own dedicated story, characters, and gameplay. - Advanced physics: Allows for the creation of a whole new range of interesting challenges, producing a much larger but not harder game. - Massive sequel: The original Portal was named 2007's Game of the Year by over 30 publications worldwide. - The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements - A much larger set of devious test chambers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002I0JIQW | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,648 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #1,061 in Mac Games & Accessories #9,480 in PC Games & Accessories | | Computer Platform | PC | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (460) | | Date First Available | July 15, 2009 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00014633098808 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Item model number | 9880 | | Manufacturer | Electronic Arts | | Number of Players | 1-2 players | | Product Dimensions | 0.6 x 7.6 x 0.63 inches; 1.6 ounces | | Publication Date | April 19, 2011 | | Rated | Everyone 10+ | | Release date | April 19, 2011 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 014633098808 | ## Images ![Portal 2 - PC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811ZPN+7KML.jpg) ![Portal 2 - PC - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CAN23ULhL.jpg) ![Portal 2 - PC - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cjr97dJzL.jpg) ![Portal 2 - PC - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718Xe2GTLAL.jpg) ![Portal 2 - PC - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UK6IcisaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not quite like the original, but a great game all the same *by A***S on May 17, 2011* I'm editing this review after some feedback that people didn't find it "helpful."

This is fine by me, as I never could get attached to FPSes in the first place. I really can't say anything about the story itself - I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't finished the game yet! You're just gonna have to trust me on this one ;) - The gameplay is fun, the characters are engaging, the voice acting is perfect, the plot is brilliant, the pacing couldn't be better. And it's a nice kick-start for your brain. The dark comedy had me smiling, or outright laughing, all the way through. If you can't get enough of the puzzles, there's an active mapping community out there pumping out more deviousness. My only regret is the fact I didn't play the original Portal until after I finished Portal 2. Portal's a fantastic game on its own, but the sequel manages to be even better, in such a way that playing them out of order actually felt like a small let-down for me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1643139-portal-2-pc](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1643139-portal-2-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
