Guide to the Portal 2 Blog
Game Information
The storyline of Portal 2 begins hundreds of years after the events of the first game. The Aperture Science laboratories have long been abandoned and are in poor condition.
Despite the centuries that have passed, the main character is still the same girl, Chell (perhaps not the same, but a clone or something from the distant future), and the main villain is GlaDOS, who somehow managed to take control of parts of the still-functioning laboratories.
Physics in Portal 2 has become more significant than in the original – solving puzzles will involve various colors, air tunnels, etc.
The game features co-op gameplay for two players, which the developers have endowed with a separate storyline where we will take on the roles of two robots. The other two modes are standard split-screen and the so-called “Picture in Picture.” The latter allows two players to communicate and discuss how to solve particular puzzles while playing through Portal 2.
