I was fortunate to stumble across this game about a month ago. I never knew about it and I have been playing video games actively since '95 when I was a kid. I LOVE this game, and if you like Uncharted I hope you will, too. The story and characters are fleshed out and feel real for their circumstances. The amazing Andy Serkis seriously needs to be nominated for a Oscar, they should bend the rules to include MoCap actors just for him. The overall world is creative and colorful, for 2010 the graphics hold their own and don't feel like the game is too dated. I personally like the fighting style, shooter games are too common anymore. The ending gives us both closure but enough room at the same time to allow a sequel if (hopefully) NinjaTheory ever could. I've played this game 3 times in a row and still am in fan-craze mode
Due to all the good this game has, my score will remain a solid 10, however I will discuss some nitpicks as well, but let me preface them with this: this game is 10 years old. The camera angle can be wonky sometimes, the platform jumping can feel too straight and narrow and looking at the game as a whole it really is one big escort mission. I found the difficulty a little easy, even on hard mode (which I never play unless I really love the game), but that could just be me. The escort part I don't mind because these characters are so well thought out and you aren't doing a lot of rescue and protect, Trip stays (for the most part) to herself. In addition, she's very helpful.
Plus, I'm a sucker for a love story and this game gives us just enough. I laughed, had fun and will be playing this game many more times in the future. The game length I would say is about 8-10 hours if you take your time, I beat it the first time in two marathon sittings.
Give it a chance, you know you want to.
