Portal: Still Alive

Noel Gallagher · 22 Oct 2008 at 17:11

It's now out on Xbox Live Arcade for 1,200 MSP and I just tried the demo which has a lot of playable levels (I think around 10) and the overall is something like 19.

It's very good, though I found it TOO easy

but I think there is more advanced levels etc

It's an heafty 629MB, breaking the 350MB arcade limit :eek:

What's peoples thoughts on it? I don't know if it's worth the price-tag since I flew through it and I've played Portal on Orange Box ... I think 800MSP should be the price

Not sure if I will bother with this tbh. I only recently bought TOB mainly for this and not sure I would give it the play time.

Portal was awesome though.

"That other crap" are some of the best games ever made tbh!!!

Valve are one hell of a developer, I'll always support them

..just not when Microsoft try ripping me off for 1,200 MSP

Bit pricey in my opinion.

I must have been the only person that didn't really like Portal. Thought Half Life 2 was good (not as good as 1 mind) but Portal just didnt grip me enough.

i hate half life and team fortress, its just my opinion, fair enough if other people like them but i don't so don't want to be forced to buy them if i only want 1 game(Portal).

For the price of Orange Box, it's well worth it. It's like £12 in some places, TWELVE POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTH thats like 7 quid, half of what the orange box can be had for. 800 points at the most for it on its own.

I wish they would make some kind of autolevel system that reconfigurated levels in unlimited permutations, portal is the kind of game you can pick up and play anytime and I would if there was a billion levels.

And lol, this thread gives me an excuse to listen/watch this again...

That would be awesome if it was done like those missions in metal gear.
