This is my first Uncharted game and the biggest problem for me is the cover-based 3rd person shooting, not just because it’s a style of gameplay I don’t prefer (though I will note that the movement afforded to Drake makes this a much better cover-based 3rd person shooter than others I have played) but also because I think it rather damages the story. Makes it a lot more difficult to root for the wisecracking Drake and co. when they’re all apparently gun-toting mass murders. Seriously, in this game alone you kill hundreds of people—such a fact puts something of a damper on the epilogue. Raiders of Lost Ark avoided this problem by making Indy’s enemies Nazis—if Drake was killing Nazis, I wouldn’t bat an eye.

Anyways, still a very fun game and I love the whole treasure-hunter adventure gameplay—and I love pirates!!

en garde dickhead!!
