Anyone else pick it up yet? I thought I'd sum up my thoughts about the game.

Firstly, I have played it for about 5 hours and I can see why the game has 17 perfect scores on Metacritic. The game plays and feels like you are in an action movie. The cinematic flair that drips off of this game is enough to drown you in, from camera angles to scripted events to the dialogue quips between characters. Nathan Drake feels like a believable character. Of course, I can't exactly say the same for the villains, as they feel rather shallow. The gunplay remains largely unchanged from Uncharted 1 (Although I never completed it), along with the cover system and acrobatic elements. The melee combat is still fun, even though you're only pressing two buttons. Executing a well-timed melee strike in the middle of a fierce gun battle just feels amazing, and the melee combat flows as well as the rest of the gameplay. The pacing is just right, and I played last night for about 5 hours without stopping or even realizing that five hours had even passed.

tl;dr You would do yourself an injustice if you didn't at least rent it, as the singleplayer is short. Multiplayer is very fun, though.

So there, I've gotten it off my chest. Hope this helps some of you on the fence or just gives you a little insight.

A dude at the Game Library here was playing it. It looks pretty hot. It's like a non-shitty Gears of War (OUCH :awesome: ).

And I'm surprised it was rated Teen....

I hear that. This game actually made me put down Demon's Souls.

Well, if it weren't rated Teen, then who else would play that piece of crap? (OUCH :awesome:)

Beat it friday night. Pretty awesome ending. The dialogue in the game was great. I lol'd on more than one occasion per chapter. Very believable stuff. If you have a PS3, do yourself a favor and GO GIT IT :awesome:
