This game's ability to tell a story and leave such an incredible impact on the player is ridiculous (in a positive way). I was absolutely bamboozled when I put the controller down after finishing this game for the first time, I adored it then, I do now, and I always will. However this game perfectly demonstrates sony and naughty dog's incapability to develop a game that isn't a home cinema movie. This game lacks the ability to keep a player wanting to play the game simply because of the gameplay (part 2 fixed this). Therefore it misses the mark on that front for me.
