Forgive me for being ignorant, but is this the same Portal that's on Orange Box just released seperately?

 

It's the same game plus some extra rooms that were released for the PC for free as a fan-made map pack, Valve took them and added to this game.

I still think that the PC version is the better deal, you can play any map-pack for free, not only this wone which already is for the PC anyway

Yeah I don't think I'll be buying this since I already have it for with the Orange Box.

I also fail to see how this can be considered AAA. They basically took a game which is widely considered one of the best games ever created and slapped on it some maps, a lot of which were made by fans, and re-released it. Of course it will be scoring high.

Just so everyone knows.. additional Portal Stilll Alive levels is the free PC mod: called "Portal: The Flash Version"

I don't know if this is worth it... I mean, I can buy a used copy of HL2 for the 360 for 20 bucks. and this game alone is 15.

Its an amazing game but a must buy only for people that have never played it.

I think AAA is a bit much for Portal. Graphics are pretty sub standard for a AAA title. AAA for a XBLA game yes. But comparing Portal to something like Gears, Fable II, etc. is a bit much.

You're right. Gears, Fable II, etc. can't even hold a candle to Portal and any comparison is useless. Vert few games can in fact match Portal's ingenuity and greatness.

I agree with this 100%

Oh... you are definitely right.. the graphics are what make video games good... gameplay is probably only 5% of what makes a good AAA game.. trust me, i'm an anonymous poster
