I tend to view demakes with a conflicting eye: On one hand it's impressive that someone went to so much trouble but on the other hand I am left wondering what the point of it all was.
But who am I kidding? This is nothing short of impressive. It's astonishing that someone managed to get something of this quality out of an ancient hardware. Okay sure the ratio of time spent in the rooms to the time spent listening to GlaDOS' dialogue is off but I still take my aht off to the man who came up with this.
