Still don't have the game... I'd be better if it was like Uncharted and you could choose survival mode from the beginning.

Uncharted has always had the crushing difficulty locked until you complete the game.

Yeah, I forgot about that. I never really looked at the difficulty settings even after playing it 2 times in a row recently.
