I was pretty stoked that they were releasing this as I never really played either game. Naturally I started with the first game and played on normal. To me the gameplay just feels kind of tedious. I don't find it hard, it just seems that enemies take too long to die and I'm mashing the same attacks over and over. And for it being set in ancient Greece I seem to be spending a lot of time in gray bland environments. After the awesome first level it seems like the pace slows to a crawl and never really finds that level of momentum again.
On one hand I can see how far ahead of its time this game was. It's really obvious Naughty Dog used this style of cinematic and varied gameplay as a template for the Uncharted franchise. On the other hand after playing these newer more polished takes on the genre it helped create, I can't help but compare it against those.
