Their differences are what makes them great. Lara croft would been better with an Assassins Creed type narrative, but I liked what I saw from my roommate playing it, which is basically 2/3 of the game. Far Cry 3 nailed everything Tomb Raider was aiming to do down to the hunting. It meant something to do it.

Drake is my fav character from this gen, lara croft annoys the fuk outta me I can't look at her the same after those horrible movies.

Actually its always been the other way around. If you've wanted the best supply is comparitive action games the most variations have been on the PS3. When InFamous and Batman Arkham City came out they had InFamous as well, when Dantes Inferno came out it had God of War to contend with and when Tomb Raider came out it had Uncharted to contend it. If you've seen angry joe's show he even admits that he's always hated Tomb Raiders game and this gameplay and story is more of something he can sink his teeth into (mind you he's an Xbox 360 only owner and has never played uncharted). He acts like what hes seeing in Uncharted is brand new. Im sure when you've only plays on that platform such things are new to you, but when you own multiple consoles like I and many other gamers do you tend to know better. When you only own a 360 you in most cases have no base for comparison unless you're waiting for multiplats. Anyway, watch the Angry Joe review which was rather good but at the same time rather naive.

Wright said: This is my thought:

Does Indiana Jones have a decent game that can compete with Uncharted or Tomb Raider? Emperor's Tomb was pretty good but that has issues too. 

I hoped Tomb Raider to have more platforming than Uncharted. I am dissappointed. I don't care of hunting in the jungle. Tomb Raider was about action and platforming which became less now; and after the first chapter things looked dull.

Not sure what you're going on about there with Batman and Infamous and Dante and God of War. I am strictly talking about Uncharted fans seemingly being hell bent on letting everyone know their opinion that Tomb Raider is just an Uncharted clone and nothing special. As if Uncharted created the genre or something.

Fact of the matter is you can list many different games that Tomb Raider has elements of. Resident Evil 4. Zelda. Far Cry 3. The Batman games of this gen. And yes, Uncharted. Much like Uncharted itself has bits of pieces of many other games as well. I mean.. you're talking in this thread about how the game plays and feels and all you have done is watch someone play bits and pieces. Come on. It's ok for the game to get praise and for people to like it more than Uncharted. Just enjoy an awesome game. Or I guess enjoy watching your friend play an awesome game.

By the way part of me wonders how annoyed your friend must have been as you probably constantly commented over his shoulder how such and such animation or such and such gameplay element or such and such setting is an Uncharted rip off. Poor friend :p

But the same could be said for anti Sony people who want to disregard Uncharted since they don't have access to it and hate Sony lol.

Just to be clear I'm not saying anyone is doing that! But it falls in line with what some people would do. I have yet to play Tomb Raider so I won't say it's better or worse, but Uncharted really is pretty amazing. Well to some people I guess, I know others don't seem to care for it. That's why I want to play it myself.

Tomb Raider is a nice game Uncharted is a living legend

Don't get me wrong, i'm a huge sony fan, but I think uncharted is awful and Tomb Raider is my 2nd favourite franchise of all time.

But I'm also a girl, love puzzle games, and despise shooters (and yes the shooting in the last few hours of (new) TR annoyed me some), so go figure probably

Just wanted to put it out there that the 'sony fan = uncharted love' link isnt necessarily true. Tomb Raider and Uncharted are very different games, and from my experience dont often share the same fanbases.

For the record, I also adore the new tomb raider game, its not as good as underworld, but its still great!!!!

Maybe it's better than Drake's Fortune and Uncharted 3 but Among Thieves? fuck no it's a masterpiece.

I'm like the biggest Sony Fan on the planet. Right now, I'm writing this on my Sony Vaio, but I also visit the site quite often with my Sony Xperia Tablet S. On the Go I prefer my Vita though, it's the Wi-Fi Model, but it gets online with a little help from my Sony Xperia S Smartphone, which I can easily control with my Sony Smartwatch. Or to be short: Everything in my appartment is from Sony. If they would be making washing machines, I'd buy one.

That said, Tomb Raider wipes the floor with Uncharted. Just deal with it. The PS3 Version is by far the best console version though. :P
