Except the enemy, dum robots, have no AI at all, they just stand there and get shot. It's third person like Uncharted, and uses cut scenes during loading just like uncharted. The cut scenes aren't motion captured as good as in Uncharted, and the main character, who you can customize, is bland with no personality whatsoever. You can make small changes to the story line now and then, but it's still linear. You 'hack' certain door locks by jumpering some circuit boards in a super simple mini game several times in the first 30 minutes. I was considering on getting this for pc, but really was surprised how I wasn't interested at all. I know the first 30 minutes isn't the whole game, but I just can't see what all the hype is about. |
Uncharted patterns itself after Indiana Jones/National Treasure type movies, and are linear, with a bunch of gunplan. Mass Effect is like a more story driven version of the old PC game Starflight, where you go to various locations. It is not linear, but it does have a plot you can follow. The focus with Mass Effect is the story and building up your character, with the action taking a back seat. In Uncharted, the focus is on the action, and getting through the story, and there is NO statbuilding in it in the single game.
