Reasonable on 18 October 2009
| d21lewis said: Oh, no way this is the best story ever told! It's too cliche and predictable. But the way it plays out? Right up there with Prince of Persia, Half Life/Portal, and Indigo Prophecy as to how the story is told. The dialog is among the best. The cutscenes blend with the gameplay, flawlessly and never ever jar you from the experience. |
I don't think they're talking about the story itself - at least I'm presuming not. I believe they're referring, as you do, to the way Uncharted 2 tells its story. I'm normally pretty critical, as a big literature and cinema fan, of how stories are told in videogames, but I have to hand it to ND - Uncharted 2 is hands down, out of all the games I've played, offering the most slick, stylish use of dialogue, cut-scenes and gameplay so far.
Still, I'd certainly rate it's story above that of the latest Indiana Jones - maybe for Uncharted 3 ND could aim for Raiders levels of brilliance.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
