Played it, finished it, 7 hours and a half. Not worth the $45. Original portal was that long for a much lower price.

Otherwise, the game is just as awesome as Portal was.

What are your thoughts on the puzzles compared to the original?

They were better obviously. But for the original I paid $50, and I got TF2 and Episode 2 as well. This is just a lot less value compared to the orange box. The campaign should have been at least twice its size. Both single and co-op.

Short of a developer packing $100 bills into the case, every game is a bad value compared to Orange Box. It's not really a fair comparison.

I agree, and I'm not putting it up against the Orange Box directly. However for the price I would have liked something a little over 15 hours. I am of course also ignoreing things like Dragon Age and Neverwinter which would easily take me 60 hours to finish. I remember spending around 15 hours going through DOOM 2 and Quake 2, and those were games from the mid 90s. I don't see 15-ish hours of gameplay as an unreasonable amount to ask for. The co-op too is extrmeely fun but once you have it done it's basically over. It also ends just as it starts getting trully interesting.

Edit: I really wanted to express how much I am in favor of developers packing $100 bills in my game cases.
