Whatever genre Tomb Raider is, that's what Uncharted is. The single player campaign does everything Tomb Raider does. Tomb Raider has better puzzles, boobs, and enemies and Uncharted has better....everything else. Still, if you swapped Nathan Drake and Lara Croft, you would have the best Tomb Raider ever or the worst Uncharted ever but you wouldn't think twice about the genre.

Now Uncharted does have the best TPS controls this side of Gears of War and there are a ton of gunfights but you can go an hour in Uncharted without shooting anything. In my book, that's an action adventure.

better enemies??? WTH?? IMHO it has some of the worst enemies ever. You really consider animals as good enemies. Then the crazy devs ran out of different animals to kill and started to recycle them after the 2nd game.

TR and Uncharted are two sides of the same coin. One focuses on gunplay the other puzzles. looking at Uncharted 3, id be shock if there were more than 3 puzzles in the game. TR maintain its puzzle influence and the only one to deviate was Legend and even that had more puzzles than Uncharted

And i love how people talk about a game they have never played and act like they know what they are talking about. Love i

The main villains in Uncharted 1 and 2 were as boring and generic as they come.  At least Tomb Raider had Jaqueline Natla (from Atlantis) and Amanda, Lara's friend who was presumed dead.  Even the Doppleganger Lara was better.  In fact, every boss is better than the nameless army of pirates we got from the Uncharted's.  The more I think about it, the more convinced I become.  Aside from Eddie Raja (who was also nothing special), I can't even remember the names of any villains in Uncharted.  Tomb Raider (Just naming the ones from Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld) had Rutland, Shogo (the Yakuza guy), Pierre Dupont (The Eddie Raja of Tomb Raider), Natla's three goons, and a bevy of bosses.  Devs ran out of enemies and started to recycle them after the 2nd game?  How far into Uncharted did you get before you started running into identical goons?  Halfway through level 1?  A bear, a bat, and a cougar are three different enemy types.  A man, a man, and a man (which you also face in Tomb Raider) are just that.

*edit*  Forgot about Flynn.  He was cool.  Also, I apologize for the venom I was about to spit.  It was just a misunderstanding, I guess.

 

As for the people who talk about a game they have never played, surely you don't mean me?
