A game that needed a good editor. The gorgeous graphics and scene direction cannot mask the glut of cinemas, talking sequences and automatic climbing. The pacing of the game is all over the place and theres way too much time between gameplay and cutscene. A good story would justify it, but the one here is mediocre melodrama with nice looking but mindless action set pieces. Even then, the shooting and stealth sequences are not fun or well designed to be more than a "just fine" experience.

Play the vastly superior Uncharted 2 or Lost Legacy if you want a better paced, fun time.
