THE ps3 game
also, this game provided a well needed challenge, the cover system is easy to learn, aiming is easy enough, but now lets throw you in the middle of 27 columbians who have infinite ammo and far better weapons than you! yea its pretty sweet, a game should not get docked for being difficult, it was a welcomed challenge in my book, but i didn't find it THAT challenging (i finished ninja gaiden sigma on hard...) some of the fire fights, only 2 come to mind really, are pushing it a LITTLE, but once you get past them you feel good and you're far better at the game than before, so they need to be where they are.
the story would be ordinary if it didn't throw the OMFGWTF moment at you, i can't say anymore, its pretty nuts.
the platforming is the best part of this game though. i agree with the review on this, there simply is not anywhere near enough of it. most of the game is firefight after firefight and sometimes you wish they would ask you to jump over a canyon or something, because its fun and LOOKS cool. the platforming is as ridiculous as if this were a cartoony game, you jump crazy distances, barely hang on, pull yourself up, swing from a rope and let go at the prime moment to barely catch a ledge that you have to shimmy over on, and then aw man, more columbians! its fun to watch the platforming, and its fun to do, especially the 3 or 4 "puzzles" they have in the game that you have to solve.
i love classical music and the score was mediocre to me for a sony game, most exclusive sony games always have these magnificent soundtracks that you hum for days, this one was kind of only eh, still good enough to be an exclusive though. im probably just complaining because i also played heavenly sword and lair and their soundtracks were the best in the world.
if you have a ps3, you also must have uncharted. lets just say that. it is THE ps3 game.
