Is Portal 2 worth it for the $50 gift card?

Question

I just purchased Portal 2, and Mortal Kombat from Toys R Us and received a $50 gift card. I've never played any of the Portal games, and it would be a title I'd probably pass on if there was no promotion. I can return it un-opened and get a $15 gift card instead. A demo would've been nice.

Answer 1

If you like puzzles, a great story, and co-op, this is  game you should check out. Don't blame me though if you don't like it. Go onto youtube and watch some gameplay, then make the decision.

Answer 2

I would say its worth it because its a unique puzzle game.

A demo for portal2 is not out yet but you can try the demo for portal 1 at

Answer 3

The game looks great. What system did you get it on? If you have friends that play with you regularly I would keep it!

Answer 4

Portal 2 is a very good game, and you'll be hard pressed to find bad reviews, but it's not for everyone. If you're undecided on it, then I'd watch some online videos to get a feel for how it is. It's very quarky and completely not-serious.

It's a puzzle FPS that's built around physics.

Answer 5

Portal 2 would be worth it even if it costed $100 and came with no gift card.

Well, maybe I'm exagerating :P   But seriously, it's a really good game. Just try it, and you'll see. (I haven't played it, but I played Portal 1, and judging by the trailers, it's way more supperior than portal 1, and I loved that game, even though it was rather short)

Answer 6

I bought the PS3 version. I'm watching videos now. It seems like one of those games you become oddly addicted to. Like why am I here now typing this, why didn't I just play it already.

Answer 7

If you looking for/like  refreshing unique games or puzzle games you Need to try this out,Portal 2 is an unique experience,with Awesome story, music,dialouge and puzzles,So for me it is definitely worth $50

Answer 8

The game is already worth $50. So I say it is worth it....

Answer 9

No, I'd buy portal 2 and keep the gift card. Portal 2 would kill the gift card, IMO.

Answer 10

dont take it back

Answer 11

Portal 2, and Mortal Kombat are great games , i would keep them also have in mind that you have paid for 1 game if you got a $50 gift card from the store.

Portal is one of several high rated steam games made by valve. Also Portal 2 is a must have if you really like Portal. In your way you didnt play portal 1 so i would ask you if you like puzzles and playing with portals to solve puzzels i would recommend portal 2. If you don't just keep it and give it to a near friend which loves portal (you still have the $50 gift card).
