It's time for my first review ever  submitted here. So, I reviewed Portal the game for my reviewing starter.

Portal was rated in "T" for Blood and Mild Violence. The developer of this game is developed by VALVe. This game is Puzzle and Action. Shooter is unavailable because there is no such thing that you could attack against foes with your harmless weapons.

Price: $10 in product or $20 via downloads. I bought it in product. It also available in "Orange Box" product [and download?].


~It's time for me rating this excellent game:

Gameplay: 10/10
Portal game was featured with the harmless weapon attached on P0rtal's main character arm, it was built with two portal machines: The first portal is blue and another portal is red/orange. When the blue and orange portals are on the wall, they are connected each others, it will allow you to teleport through somewhere whatever you placed them on. There is two type of walls/objects: The first type of walls/objects are compatible with landing portals, the other ones will defend against portal from working.

Storyline: 10/10
A portal girl is the main character for Portal game. She was stuck in the glass walls, and have nowhere to escape out of it. But suddenly, an orange portal automatically opened on the wall. A girl in the glass wall was able to escape via through the portal attached on the wall. She went into the elevator to the next room. A monitor was shown on the wall, it is displaying 19 levels and the tiles. 19 levels were needed to be completed for the escape. A final tile is displaying the cake.

She continues on her escapes, she reached the second elevator which will carry to 3rd level. She discovered an ordinary portal weapon there. She took armed with it, when she equipped it, she will be able to create a blue portal on the wall.

In the next level, there is an orange portal weapon, it was on the loose, when she shot her ordinary blue portal, she will automatically see orange portal weapon through the portal she settled. She reached to the orange portaql weapon, she picked up it. Her ordinary blue portal weapon is now built up with orange portal machine. She continues on her escapes. But suddenly, 19th level took forever for her to advance to the next level... The game stories is long unforgettable.

Graphics: 8/10
P0rtal game's graphics look excellent and it will contain some lag if your Window computer have a poor video card. This game has been in 3 dimensions. So, if you activated the blue and orange portals on the walls and when they were connected, your computer will get lag worser if you see through the portal(s).

You can see through the portals


Sound: [UNKNOWN]
As you know, I'm deaf. Luckily, it have the "Close Caption" option. This option will tell me if a door made a noise *slam*, a portal activated, or look up at enemies' status. I will be able to see on everything they give some noises. One exception that I cant see is the musics.

Retry Value: 8/10
Well, if you felt like you want experience previous actions again, go on. I recommended it. If you think 19 levels are too short and too easy if you played them all at once, then retry value would be excellent if you play it over again. I let you know, Puzzles and Actions are always fun through retry values.

Conclusion:
Portal game is very neat game for PC, I give this 10/10 for excellent game ever played.

"Love" heart box, the heart box will be broken later.
