If there's any word out there that could be used to quickly describe this game, it would be "stunning." Portal is a game that's unique in its own way, yet is still beautiful. Almost everything is perfect about this game: the music, the controls, the game play, the graphics, and the storyline. When you play Portal, you'll find yourself engrossed in the levels, which range from easy, to difficult, and basic, to confusing. No matter what skill level you have, you would still find this game amazing. The beginning levels are nice and easy, giving even novice players good training for later levels. You don't need to waste time sitting through one of those pesky tutorials with this game, you learn the basics when you start, and you pick up new techniques as you progress. However, the surprising thing about this game is that even if you're an expert gamer, or have played through the game multiple times, you still get some pleasure playing through easy, beginning levels.

Read it, or some of it, if you want to, and I'd appreciate it if you recommended it or "un-recommended" it. :)
