I have bought the collector's edition.

Not to use to solve the game. I bought it after. However, the guide comes with complete layouts of all of Valve's maps, which I found inspirational when coming up with my own puzzle ideas. The collector's edition also comes with a complete history of both games, interviews with the designers, and a section of Portal 2 art. For like 20 bucks, I love it.

Maps:
[Coop] Freefall
[Sp] Loud Pipes

The people who make maps for games aren't the kind of people that have other people tell them how to solve maps.

Hey guys,

My name is Seb and I am the Founder of GamerGuides.com. We just launched and one of the guides we produced was for Portal 2!

Wanted to let you guys know about it as we've put a lot of work into it think it could be really helpful. :thumbup:

Included in the guide is a full single player walkthrough, Co-op mode walkthrough and achievements guide (with videos).

Single player walkthrough: http://www.gamerguides.com/guides/porta ... lkthrough/
Co-op Challenges: http://www.gamerguides.com/guides/porta ... hallenges/
Achievements Guide: http://www.gamerguides.com/guides/porta ... guide-100/
Easter Eggs: http://www.gamerguides.com/guides/porta ... -eggs-105/

We hope you guys like it!

An introduction to our Portal 2 Guide written by the author:

Quote:

Never happy to rest on their cash-laden laurels, Valve know a cracking mod team when they see one and promptly snapped up the devs behind the mind-melting original Portal.

Still encompassing a vast array of brain-bending spatial puzzles, it now possesses a fully fleshed out single-player story (joined by the amazingly voiced Wheatley and the - infamously glib - GLaDOS), co-op mode and a sack load of Easter Eggs tucked away for good measure.

Naturally, we take you through every single Test Chamber in the story and co-op modes, along with rock-solid strategies for bagging all the Achievements/Trophies and we'll show you the cunning hidden Easter Eggs as well (cause we're nice like that).

Naturally, a fluid puzzle game like Portal 2 may have multiple ways to solve each room, so if you reckon you've found an easier/quicker way of doing it, we'd love you to either share it in the comments of the guide itself or why not bring it to everyone's attention in our forum?
