One problem I had while playing the level through a second time would have been game-breaking if I wasn't able to fix it. The look of the level (and the adventure world that you unlock with the purchase of Chell) is spot-on as it mimics the Portal 2 universe very accurately. On the presentation side, Wheatley follows you through the entire level with his typical funny banter, and GLaDOS doesn't stop with her sarcastic and equally humorous lines. The Sentry Turret is used in a few places to trigger switches that move pieces of the wall, and the Companion Cube is used throughout to trigger buttons. These puzzles are around the same difficulty level, but with more use of the blue and orange paint that is used to speed up your character or make them jump really high. If you played the Portal 2 level in the base game then you'll know what to expect. However, I would have liked to have seen extra effort put into the pack along with a longer level compared to the base game seeing as I purchased this separately. There were more chambers included in the base game story level, though it took me about the same time to complete both. The Portal 2 pack includes 5 test chambers and a boss. Will it work this time or not? I'm running out of patience. Companion Cube transformations: Companion Cube (weight switch), Laser Deflector (deflect lasers), Gold Heart Emitter (refill characters' health when close by).Vehicle transformations: Sentry Turret (rideable turret that can open switches), Turret Striker (destroy gold blocks), Flying Turret Carrier (destroy silver blocks and fly to reach high-up locations).Chell: Double jump and use acrobatic poles (the same abilities that Wyldstyle has) and shoot portals onto white surfaces with the Portal Gun.The following abilities become available for you to use throughout the Lego Dimensions universe when you purchase this Level Pack: Neither of these are abilities that are absolutely needed in the game, so the cube is really only good for its basic ability of a weight switch. The Companion Cube transforms into a laser deflector and a gold heart emitter. Though flying isn't done as smoothly as other Lego characters, it does allow you to get to those hard to reach places in some levels. These transformations provide three new abilities that can be used in the Lego Dimensions universe (namely destroying gold and silver blocks and having the ability to fly).

It can be transformed into a Turret Striker and a Flying Turret Carrier. The Sentry Turret is one of the larger physical Lego figurines in the Level Packs, and has a pleasing amount of detail in its design. If you played the Portal levels in the base Lego Dimensions game or the Portal series itself, you'll be no stranger to this mechanism. Walking into one of the portals will have the character appear through the other one. The Chell figurine stands holding the iconic Portal Gun which is used in-game to shoot blue and orange portals. This Level Pack includes a character (Chell), a vehicle (Sentry Turret) and an item (Companion Cube). 😊 Putting Portal figures on your Lego portal will blow your mind │ Video Chums was once offered $4000 per month to display a persistent video ad. If you've been wondering what figurines and abilities are included in the pack, I'll break it down for you along with an exploration of the new story level and adventure world. Lego Dimensions: Portal 2 Level Pack is also compatible with Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360Īfter almost 5 years, Portal 2 is back as one of Lego Dimensions' launch Level Packs. LEGO Dimensions releases September 27 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U.Reviewed by Mary Billington playing a PS4 on October 14, 2015 It may not be Portal 3, but it's still pretty enticing. The level pack will come with an open world based on Portal and a new story level based around Chell, who can fire portals. You will be able to move the physical LEGO figurines around the pad to move them in-game. The toy pad, which figurines are placed on during gameplay, will feature prominently in the Portal puzzles. As Heder explains, the levels have to accommodate the starter pack characters - Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf - none of whom have their own portal guns. It sounds like there will be nine test chambers and a boss fight to play through, with additional levels available in the Portal level pack. IGN have posted a video of Doug Heder, a producer on LEGO Dimensions, explaining how the Portal level included in the Starter Pack will work. It looks like LEGO Dimensions will offer a bit of a new take on Portal.
