You're still in the same environment, using the same character, against the same character, solving the puzzles in the same way, etc.
Technically, you're not against the same character the whole game.
Also puzzles aren't solved the same way with all of the gels and tubes and such.
Graphics are so much more better than the first one. Humor is a lot more prevalent besides just the GlaDOS quotes. The characterization is so much...okay, I'll admit there's only one more real character. Fine. At least Valve's characters have ten times more character than other games, you gotta admit.
Storyline is also so much better. The area seems (I SAID SEEMS) so much less linear than just going through chamber through chamber through chamber.
It's just...I dunno. It contains enough of Portal 1 for the nostalgia effects, but so much new stuff and storyline than I can firmly declare that is so much better than the first Portal.
Anyways if you're calling Portal 2 the DLC of Portal 1 you might as well call all Zelda Games DLC of the first Zelda, all Gears of War Games DLC of the first Gears of War, all Mario Kart Games the DLC of the first Mario Kart, and all Call of Duty Games DLC of the first Call of Duty.
Oh wait.
Voted for Portal 2 for everything except for best multiplayer.
I also think how it's unfair they split Portal 2 fans on the best male character role: Cave Johnson or Wheatley? Dammit.
