Portal: Prelude Released





It's finally here, one of the most hyped mods is now released exclusively on Fileplanet (soon to be released everywhere). Planet Half-Life have the first review for the mod, you can read it here.

The bottom line of it all is that Portal: Prelude isn’t just a map pack, and in my eyes it can’t even be called a straight off mod. It’s a game, and it’s free. Hours upon hours of rich, challenging gameplay, beautifully crafted maps, custom content with professional-sounding dialog can all be found if you scroll down the page to the download link. I’ve played Portal map packs and I’ve played single-player Source mods, but Portal: Prelude takes the cake. Yeah, I threw in the pun, but stop wasting time, you’ll need all the time you can get to beat the game!


You can find another preview by ModDB, right here.



Download the mod now from Fileplanet. (more mirrors coming soon)

A perfect example of why Steam supported singleplayer mods would be awsome! although it is a Fileplanet exclusive, I expect they got some advertising or some such out of it, I wasnt expecting this till tommorow anyway.

When somone gets it in, post your opinions!

This is a pretty sweet Mod and to be honest, rather taxing on the old brain. Defiantly tougher than Flash Map Pack, and the presentation is so much better. My only quibble with the game is that it seems the voice acting is well too quiet. I have turned the music off but the sound effects are still way too loud so it's hard to hear their banter but that's only a minor problem (and probably just happening to me!).

Does not gently ease the player into the game, rather it throws you in; Not so much of a problem considering everybody has played portal already, but whether or not someone is going to throw this mod down, because the sense of accomplishment is lacklustre (I died on Level 1 and totally stuck on Level 3), is another question.

I have a problem with section3
