Games Beaten in 2012
In order of "completion".
In order of "completion".
I loved the first two, but in this one I had to repeat several sections over and over again. Maybe I was levelling wrong, in any case, it made for a mostly frustrating experience.
No fat and an unusual and challenging last boss.
Not technically perfect, some poor level design and story, but ultimately the game-play, control and weapons make this a stand-out game.
Just perfect. I avoided the technical glitches that early adopters endured. Best game I've played in a long time.
PS2 Version. Really not bad at all. Nice look to it, above average controls and weapons. Fine story and reasonably diverse gameplay. At times the check points were not paced with the difficulty spikes which lead to repeating some sections more than would be preferred, which can be excused given the age of the game.
Finally unlocked all the characters. Better than the prior two versions of the game.
Really enjoyed this one. Part Uncharted, Assassins Creed and Infamous with likeable characters.
Having recently replayed Uncharted 2 I know that this game is more than slightly better than it. Beyond the opening bar brawl (in which the level of player control is not clear) I found the same greatness and frustration as the prior two titles in the series.
After getting off to a rough start the game settles down around the half-way mark when you start to get better weapons and more enjoyable puzzle rooms. Plenty of good ideas, I respect the developer for not shying away from the challenge of doing multiple new things.
Uneven, but ultimately a positive experience. I think.
