Uncharted vs The Last of Us

[Veknoid_Outcast]

I'd rank them as follows:

The Last of Us > Uncharted 2 > Uncharted > Uncharted 3.

The Last of Us and Uncharted 2 are the two best, in my opinion, with TLOU slightly outpacing Uncharted 2. Both feature strong shooting mechanics, storytelling, music, and improvisational gameplay. While not as successful as Uncharted 2, the first Uncharted is still a strong entry with some impressive level design.

Uncharted 3 is the weakest of the bunch, thanks to some strange design choices. Aiming and moving -- hugely important in a cover-based third-person shooting game -- are compromised. The story is recycled. The levels don't flow. The final boss is a joke. The long walk through the desert is a joke. Naughty Dog tried to make everything in Uncharted 3 bigger, more spectacular, and more cinematic, and ended up losing sight of the fundamentals.

Still, three out of four ain't bad.
