Maybe my opinion can be thrown away but here's how I've seen it in the past (multi-platform owner):
God of War>>>>>>>>Dante's Inferno, Conan, etc.
Heavy Rain>>>Alan Wake (not really similar but we made the comparison at the time)
Gears of War/Halo>>>>Killzone/Resistance
Batman>>>>>>>>>inFamous>>>>>>>>Prototype
Forza???Gran Turismo
Tomb Raider>Uncharted
I admit that I do have an anti Sony bias. Still, Sony makes some damn good games. When Sony makes the better game, I give them credit where credit is due. This time, Square Enix just made the better game. Maybe SE copied a bit off of Naughty Dog's paper. I'm almost positive that, without Tomb Raider Legend, Uncharted would have been a different beast and without Uncharted 1-3, Tomb Raider 2013 would not exist as it does or maybe wouldn't exist at all.
How much do I love Tomb Raider? I bought Metal Gear Rising (PS3) the same day and I haven't even touched it, yet! Tomb Raider is fantastic. Whether you feel it's better or worse it your opinion. Mine? Well, you already know. Hopefully, Uncharted 4 kicks things up even more. In the meantime, PLAY TOMB RAIDER! Don't let the comparison to one of gaming's biggest exclusive franchises scare you away.
