You start out in the game in a glass box. You hear a voice from a robot who goes by the name of GLaDoS. She guides you throughout the game. Once you get out of your little box, you have a gun with you, but it isn't a gun that has bullets in it. It's called a Portal Gun. You left or right click to shoot out different Portals. You start out by shotting one Portal, but you get to shoot two Portals. That's when the game gets challenging.
You have to colored Portals. One is blue, and the other is orange. If you shot a Orange Portal in one area and a blue in another and you went through the blue Portal, you will come out of the Orange Portal, and Vice-Versa.
You have two Main Objectives. The First is for every Map, which is to get to the elevator. The other Objective is to find GLaDoS. The ending is pretty cool, so try to play the game for yourself.
There are only three things in the game that would kill you. The first is falling from a certain height. The second is a electric ball. The third is Androids, which shoot Bullets at you. Your able to kill Androids by simpley picking the up, and putting them down.
There really is no set Difficulty. The Puzzles are Difficult for yourself. On your first go at Portal, you'll most likely spend 6-10 hours on the Story. If you want to earn some of the Steam Achiviments, the Story Mode will take you about 2-4 hours, since you would already have an idea what to do. Or, you would just like to find the secret cake.
The Graphics are beautiful. They are game that surpass this games Graphics, but they are still beautiful.
Voice Acting for GLaDoS is really trumendous. When it malfunctions, it will sound exactly like a machine malfunctioning. When she is happy, she will sound happy. It's just purley amazing.
All of this is put into Portal, and it is such a Perfect game. The unique Gameplay is Amazing and the game will make you think as hard as you can. Sometimes you might need to look at Walkthroughs to get past levels! Portal is a must have for any Gamer, wether you like games with First-Person Prespectiveness, or you just love solving hard puzzles.
Portal is truely Revolutionary.
