It won the Writer's guild award. I don't see a problem with comparing it to a movie because it's good enough but they need gameplay to back it up. Metal Gear Solid series gives me a similar feel. Max Payne the game was 10× better than the film adaption. A decent video game to film adaption, I'd say Hitman. Besides movies have been here way before video games started to get plots. I think the purpose of plot in games should be looked at like a movie always. That's half the point of their entertainment.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991307457497197155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403386358986154242.post-62483782896865362902010-03-02T06:41:55.397-08:002010-03-02T06:41:55.397-08:00Great article, especially to as your debut.

Having finally played the game last week, I agree with all the major points you raise. It's too repititious, derivative and contrived to be anything like a film. But, as you said, it's definitely a decent game.<br /><br />Don't stop here -- this blog shows real potential.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922052746441205220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403386358986154242.post-27547516017312921352010-02-07T14:01:19.518-08:002010-02-07T14:01:19.518-08:00Well that was unneccesarily long and kind of derri...Well that was unneccesarily long and kind of derrivative. Of course, Uncharted 2 isn't a movie, but what the writers at kotaku were getting at is the feeling you get playing it is very similar to the feeling you get watching a good action movie.<br /><br />In fact they even asserted that this game brought the best "action movie feeling" of any piece of media in 2009.<br /><br />And you should play the game again. It's kind of amazing.K.

Games have the luxury and responsibilty of time; even a short game usually out lasts a long movie. That's why it's disheartening to see the two mediums imitating each other so much. Sure, games are more known for their film-lust, but many newer action films make me think their directors would rather be working in the games industry. The Protector's staircase scene comes to mind, with the camera always following right behind the protagonist as he chop-sockys his way through them.<br /><br />Kind of an obscure reference, I know, but I thought an example was necessary.Padihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606949147078453610noreply@blogger.com
