a strong start and a great way to begin the story of Nathan Drake and gang through jungle explorations, to fighting off hundreds of guys and somehow still suriving, to constant banter between the gang and Nate. Sucks that people ignore this game and treat it like it's a "meh" but I thought it was lovely. and yes, it only got better from here on out but still, this game deserves respect and it definitely got mine. AND some love to go along with it.
