Been busy lately and I have to admit that I only got the game a few days ago. I just finished the sp game though and I have to say it was very excellent. It definately exceeded expectations and I won't go into specifics but the story and characters really make this game better than the first. Also the fact it's significantly longer helps too.
Anyway I delibrately didn't watch or read anything about P2 leading up to release so all the new puzzle elements and storyline were new to me. However it back fired as I forgot about P2 and actually only found out it was released only 2 weeks ago 
. The smile on my face once I realised and also the stupid feeling I got for forgetting were both huge.
With that out the way I'll actually say what I originally intended and that's about the lack of a bonus map menu. I suspect they will add one once they release the authoring tools properly but I don't know. Does anyone know the deal or should we start a petition for Valve to get a bonus map menu in with maybe challenges as well? Definately Portals and Timed ones anyway cos Steps sucked IMO
Lastly, I'm sorry for repeating any previous posts and also I can't help generating a bit of buzz because I'm definately gonna make some maps for this beast of a game 
), and that it would include "a challenge mode," in addition to new single-player and co-op puzzles.
