I may have swerved from the controls because someone started acting like a right c*nt just because I've offended their dear game.
But fine, I'll play along.
- You start off at a train crash site. Climbing. Brilliant. This takes a long as fuck time as there are scripted falls built into you climbing.
- You return to said train crash site later in the game, effectively making you REPLAY the same level. This is great as it extends the game, thus offering the player 25 (!!) levels.
- This is of course a technique often used in movies, and would work here, but we're all pretending that this is an actual video game.
- After you've climbed out of the train, you go through a silly maze where you can't control the camera, confusing the hell out of you because when it changes position, so does your direction.
- Add to that, since you can't actually control the camera, and it adjusts like shit, you can quite literally walk out of the game.
- Enemies are WAY too easy. Even on the harder difficulty settings. And I'm a casual player.
- While the enemies can't kill you, a five foot drop apparently CAN. This is of course the same Drake that can climb walls like Altair.
- Well, not quite like Altair, because for a game that came out around the same time, Altair's climbing is actually fluid.
- Replay value? Sure. I'll re-watch it in a few months. After I rewatch Twin Peaks, the X-Files, Xena the Warrior Princess and SG1 (if they ever put it back on netflix, that is). Wait. What fucking replay value?!
- I don't play online. What's the point? Where's the enjoyment? To play with some bellwhiff like the ones who insist on watching every single replay and cutscene on FIFA? I'm sorted.
It's an overrated game and an overrated, cliche filled movie geared towards a lazy generation who would prefer pretty sights over actual thinking and challenge.
