I finished Poratl 2 last night. Great game, funny. Even had my 17 year old daughter hanging out watching and laughing as I played. I thought is was easier than Portal 1. It is interesting how linear Portal 2 is...and, yet was that ever a criticism in reviews? It seems like over the past few year I have been reading more criticisms of linearity in videogames...maybe not.
The game I fished before Portal 2 was Killzone 3 and I remeber it's linearity was a major criticiism.
I never paid attention to the reviewers that criticized linearity in a videogame...but for some reason after finishing Killzone 3 and, especiall,y Portal 2 I dont see how linearity can be a critcism. Both great games...but Portal 2 is so obviously linear and a great game. I could see bringing up linearlity in a review, because some people may not like linear games, but to critcize a game for being linear, doesnt make sense to me anymore.
