But in terms of sheer storytelling, Heavy Rain is way too amazing to have been completely skipped over in talking about great stories in games. Though I will say the acting in UC tops HR's acting and I liked the characters better in UC as well. It's like Memento meets Seven, just great storytelling. Now.how in the world are people leaving out Heavy Rain when talking about story? For me, that has to be the best storytelling this generation. And it's still one of (if not THE)best looking games this gen (that goes for both of them). The gameplay is great and very few games have been more fun in that regards. And overall, that game has to be the best all-around game this generation. Maybe y'all just liked it more cause you were more invested in it after all those years of playing it? To me UC's story can't be topped by many games at all this generation. That being said, I don't think MGS can top UC's storyline. Saying the game sucked with all the extremely long cutscenes and saying the ending of the ongoing story didn't satisfy him. Repeatedly telling me this (it really irked him, cause he was so hyped for it). And that die hard fan has told me on several occasions now that he was disappointed with MGS4. However, I got a couple friends who were into it. The games didn't appeal to me (wasn't the game style or anything, cause I enjoy Splinter Cell and Hitman), thus I didn't play the new one either. The multiplayer is perhaps unlikely to have the strength in depth of say, Halo’s or Call of Duty’s online modes (only time will tell on that), but this is far from a cursory addition, especially with Uncharted’s added flourish of platforming and stealth takedowns.First off, I never got into the MGS series, just couldn't do it. On top of this, Naughty Dog have included a comprehensive video recording tool and ‘machina’ mode to allow budding directors to record multiplayer matches and upload them to the internet. ‘Boosters’ (a variant on Call of Duty’s perk system) kept players invested on advancing their levels, while specialised co-op levels and a Horde-esque Survival mode also add terrific value. A hugely successful Beta test fused Uncharted’s verticality and athleticism with the more established tropes of the multiplayer deathmatch, with variants on all your favourite game types. Not content with providing a momentous singleplayer adventure, Naughty Dog has set about making multiplayer an integral part of the Among Thieves package, rather than the tacked-on portion it could have been.
The animation to pull off such a tangible connection to the world is astonishing, and it gives Drake an endearing vulnerability sorely lacking in so many of gaming’s superhuman heroes. He stumbles through the environment, gasping and grumbling, stretching for every handhold with excruciating effort. Easy as it is for the player to pull off, Drake himself always seems at his limit. While there are better shooters and platformers out there than Among Thieves, never have the two been brought together in such perfect harmony, effortlessly switching without a blink or the player making a fumble leaping from the high-ground, rolling into cover, before aiming true and blasting enemies with a generous array of weaponry. The combat’s touchstone is undoubtedly Gears of War’s stop-and-pop gunplay, while the athletic scampering is all Lara Croft. Drake can pounce out of cover to silently take down an approaching foe, leap between buildings and hang from rocky outcrops with one hand, gun in the other. Stringing all these elements together is delightfully simple for the player. Thrilling levels and gameplay Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will not leave anyone indifferent. It does not matter whether it is the first or a millionth hour in Adventure, there will always be room for something new and interesting. Playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a pleasure. He’s a versatile chap too, a crackshot with catlike climbing skills and like any good action-hero, he’s handy with his fists. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a typical representative of the Adventure genre. Controlling Drake is mostly a doddle, with actions often confined to the simplest button presses. The characterisation is apparent just as much when you are in control as in the outstanding cutscenes. Part of Among Thieves’ genius – and where it stands tall over its contemporaries – is how the seams between gameplay and plot are barely visible.
