Not at all... but there are some tricky areas. It's pretty much an FPS but there's only one gun and no real enemies. ;^) But the mechanics are all FPS - a very methodical, platformy FPS for the most part but there are a coupla spots where speed is needed. I can really only think of two spots where it gets difficult (and this one is the most difficult) and only a couple where it really confused me for more than a few minutes. Think of it most as a FPS Puzzle game. In fact that's what I thought it ONLY was: a series of puzzles using the Portal gun. But it turns out that it has a great little story as well and connects directly with Half-Life 2. So well worth playing. I'm loving "Episode 2" and "Team Fortress" as well but "Portal" is the hidden gem of the Orange Box.
