IMO, the game tails off a little from that point forward (plane crash, where you are now).

But it's still a damned fun game and is worth a playthrough. I started a long thread about it a few weeks back but there might be spoilers in there so you might want to avoid it. 

 lol yeah it is pretty sweet, i hope they work on a sequel but i wouldn't mind a jack and daxter for the ps3.

Edit: 

I too, was surprised with how good the game was. It IS Insomniac Naughty Dog though, so not that surprised.

I wasn't really thinking when I posted that.

Did you do what RocketPig suggested? Going under her in that lil room and just wiping her folks out? What's your level? Go to the squad menu when you're playing and look at your stats. If you have auto level up, turn that crap off. I'd recommend doing it manually and just adding the points you want.

PM me and I'll help you ... 

Haha.  My friend had the same problem.  The first planet he went to was where he had to fight Benezia and it took him a while + a lot of luck to beat her.  He was watching me play the same mission anticipating that I was going to get it handed to me (but I went to the other planet missions first so I leveled up) and I beat Benezia first try.

 @ Grandmaster:

Go to the options and make sure that your team squad actions are set to the highest mode.

I originally set this to defensive only, but then changed it, and the game became an entirely different ecperience.

@ OP , Uncharted is great, and I do think it is better than Mass Effect overall.

Mass Effect seems grander in scale, but the games are soooo different. 

was it insomniac or naughty dog i forget?

I could have sworn it was by naughty dog.

^yeah i think so too but i wasnt too sure

Naughty Dog did Uncharted.
