Quote:Alright, so I downloaded Steam and Portal: The First Slice to play before purchasing this game. I beat the first 11-levels in about 15-minutes, but now I read on the net that this game only has 23 level?!? Why on earth would I buy a game I can beat in 25-30-minutes? Is there more to this game I am missing? Is it worth $20.00 to download off of Steam? I was seriously considering getting The Orange Box, but I never played Half-Life 1 and am not sure if the story or game is any good and $49.99 is a bit much for me right now. Oh, they lowered the price to $39.99; still about $20.00 was the most I wanted to spend right now.
Portal is absolutely worth buying. It is a remarkable game that is more than worth a small investment. It is short, it's true, but it's pure quality, as far as I'm concerned.
However, if it's too large an investment, it's not going anywhere, and it's not a game that will get worse with age. It's an instant classic.
