First and foremost, this is a puzzle game. If you don't enjoy puzzle games, you won't enjoy Portal Constructor: Bridged. There is more to do with bridge constructing then there is placing portals. Frankly, you don't get to place portals - ever. You have two tools at your disposal and they both revolve around constructing bridges so paper cutouts of enrichment center workers can drive forklifts around the facility while they contemplate on the story of Shenmue.

Second order of business: Portal. This game does a fantastic job at recreating the Portal atmosphere - the comedic side of it at least. They have the real Glados, companion cubes, turrets, orange goo, blue goo, models and sounds from Portal and sometimes... there's... should I even say it?... cake. Everything is all faithfully represented here.

Third times a charm: I found the game fun all throughout my playing. I did not finish it but completed about 75% of it in my 9 hours of playing. I felt this was enough to warrant a positive review and don't feel like playing anymore would change the experience much. Its good at what it does and lacks only some final polish. I felt like some tools were missing like the ability to remove a whole section of a bridge. In later levels you are required to create very large bridges and when you eventually find out its not going to work, you need to go double clicking on every section to remove it. It gets tedious but I guess I'm just nitpicking..

Fourth and final warning: Puzzle fans only will enjoy this faithfully themed Portal game. The price is right and the product delivers. Glados runs a tight ship.
