Fair enough.

I was not talking about the spiders, we agreed already they are creepy stuff thrown in to make it cooler. By minor detail I was referring to the tarot cards, wedding rings etc.

And I don't think most Uncharted players turn out to also enjoy interactive fiction, so I'm not sure I'm part of whatever intended audience you think Uncharted caters for. I just think it's an utterly technically competent mainstream game which also happens to have an engaging story and script, which is why I asked for opinions of others IFers who may have played it. Everyone is entitled an opinion and while ours are in disagreement, it was fine reading someone else take on it...

I suppose we did - sadly, they *are* "just creepy stuff thrown it to make it cooler". And therefore their value diminishes immensely, and what could be a genuinely chilling creature becomes a cheap thrill.



The sort that would value some things above others - which is true for any game and/or film. Some gamers will prefer adventure games, others platformers. Others prefer story-heavy games, others prefer games heavy on the action. Uncharted players will, I suppose, be the sort of people that love the latest blockbuster films - and I'm not saying anything bad about blockbuster films. I happen to enjoy watching Blockbusters once in a while. But they're lighter entertainment, and this is what U3 feels like - a light blockbuster, which will be particularly enjoyed by people who liked The Mummy and its ilk.



So as not to end on a sour note: I agree on all of the above, regardless of my issues with the game.
