Any ways to listen to commentators without actually playing through Portal's levels?

Hello!

I finished Portal last night. It was fun and sometimes frustrating. I
went to check out the commentaries. However, I have to replay the levels
to listen to each bubbles for the commentaries. Is there a way not to
play and still hear them? I am curious how the last level and its ending
of Portal were done.

Thank you in advance. :)

Bummer. Or even video walkthroughs would be fine. I wonder if there are
collection of saved games to load certain areas of the levels?

That was a trailer for the game released a few months ago.

is quite good, but I don't think it will help the OP.

How does one enable the developers console for portal then?

- Right-click on the game and choose 'Properties'
- Under the 'General' tab, press the button labelled 'Set Launch Options...'
- in the box which pops up add the line

    -console

Then hit your console key (That's the key directly beneath [Esc] ) when
the game loads

It's really not that hard once you've worked out how to get through
all the puzzles. There are a few tricky spots, but not many.
