Its not a bad game. You really should play it, but in story, animations, graphics (on the PS3) set pieces and more it couldnt hold a candle to Uncharted. On consoles its like right under Uncharted 2 in visuals. It feels more like lara croft is rambo/mcguyver than lara croft. With the realism of the game theres no way she could've pulled off the things she did while injured. They tried to copy how the guns were held as well from uncharted but that failed and the ai are bullet sponges. The AI is also dumber. This chick made  way too much noise to ever pull of stealth as well. I've gone hunting, myself and there were so many moments where I was like "this chick would so be dead in real life because of (take a number)". Also, its not the secondary characters weren't the worst but by god the script for them was so terrible. 

On the flip side despite not doing what Uncharted does better it added to what inspired it with the bow, more open spaces, as I said before this game allows you to take exp and upgrades your killing skills and weapons which are pretty much set up just like uncharted (but deadlier). The mini boss fights were easy as hell but fun (played it on hard). Just try it though its good. The game is clearly an eight on my chart.

It was a great game, but it needs to be tomb raider. It was just too much like Uncharted even though it had some subtle changes. It just tried wayyyyy too hard.

Uncharted is more like Indiana Jones. Hes a thief who grew up to be a historian and and archeologist/treasure hunter for hire. He focuses on character relationships and quips to create a storybased web for what happens in the game. Tomb Raider tried to do this and it made the game lag (like two hours of the game). Some people just werent interesting enough to go after. 

No one wants MS to fail, just make something great outside of shooters. 

Not trying to change anyones opinion. I noticed the game looked like Uncharted a year or so ago and I just finished the game and I realized how close it is to uncharted and I was like "dude there has to be a video capturing how much this game took". Low and behold there was and I found it and decided to show it.

which is odd... since i really can't think of any xbox exclusive that plays like uncharted

you could argue that the cover mechanics are similar to gears... but gears derived its cover mechanics from killswitch anyway

Funny, I would say the same thing regarding painting being more than the picture to anyone simple minded enough to label Tomb Raider as an Uncharted clone. But please, don't try to defend that hilarious video. Like I said, if you want to take it at face value as the OP did, then Uncharted invented all that plus more. Exploding barrels to, how could I forget. Thanks for that, Uncharted.

Well Eidos had to spend a 100 million dollars to make Tomb Raider come close to the quality of Uncharted. So that's really all that needs to be said.

lol, copied the "style" that Uncharted "created". Please. And with the bolded... you're just making my case for me. I already posted a video showing Tomb Raider modernized in a remake that came out before Uncharted 1 was even released. Yet somehow it's still copying Uncharted style LOL. It's precious. The praise the game has gotten and lack of talk in the media about your supposed copycat theory really seems to bother some people here lol.

I've already posted a developer interview where they go into good detail about the differences, and a video that shows the game modernizing its mechanics before Uncharted even came out. Not going to bother trying to educate the unwilling anymore ;)

Dude did you even play Uncharted? The new TR was definitely inspired by Uncharted how can you not see that?
