[QUOTE="CellAnimation"]Uncharted is just a rip off of Tomb Raider... so there's a hint. :)biggest_loserYou can't be serious? He can't get any more serious. Lara croft is a female rip off of Indiana Jones Uncharted is a male rip off of Lara Croft... Being a rip off doesn't mean a bad thing. Uncharted is really good and in some points, better than Tomb Raider. Try Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary and Underworld. They are great games, though a little glitchy.

Serious about what? Every human with at least a microscopic bit of common sense knows that it's a Tomb Raider rip off.
Only in the very broadest sense: its about an adventurer. Both Uncharted games have far more emphasis on being a cover shooter, which is certainly NOT what Tomb Raider is about. Secondly, it has a far more playful tone to its narrative.[QUOTE="Lucianu"][QUOTE="biggest_loser"] You can't be serious? biggest_loser

That...and the fact that Chloe is FAR more attractive than Lara Croft will ever be.[QUOTE="Lucianu"][QUOTE="biggest_loser"] You can't be serious? biggest_loser

And both are Indiana Jones rip offs like another poster said.

It's so freaking obvious that the game is Tomb Raider with a male lead.
I think it feels tomb raider inspired and done right rather than totally similar so I agree to an extent. Tomb Raider games never improved greatly and I feel they played on Lara Croft too much and instead missed the chance to make it like Uncharted which is you could say a superior version and better all-rounded and what tomb raider could have been.
You know, as a PS3 gamer gone PC, I have a hard time finding an Uncharted equivalent. Some have said Tomb Raider, and while there are some similarities Id say that overall Uncharted has a much different feel. Tomb Raider is slow and clunky, Uncharted is fast, explosive, and smooth (Yes, ive played Anniversary and Legend).
Dont get the Tomb Raider games expecting to be playing Uncharted ver1.5. If you want an experience like Uncharted, well . . . youd have to get a PS3 :P
Ive noticed that PS3 games focus more on being one hell of a movie-coaster ride while PC games are gorgeous and expansive. I love both but PC has my attention at the moment.

And both are Indiana Jones rip offs like another poster said.
So are you saying Farscape and Andromeda (Can I use any less popular tv shows?) are the exact same thing meaning whichever came second was a rip off? Both revolve around a human and a place unknown to them dealing with aliens and new factions. Both main characters wish for a way home and try to do the good thing by making the galaxy a little bit better.The premise means nothing when the actual events and how they are done are completely different. Tomb Raider is foremost a puzzle platformer while I would say Uncharted is a platforming shooter. There aren't really puzzle elements to Uncharted and the shooting elements are just as emphasized as the platforming.

I loved Andromeda, i like Kevin Sorbo, first 3 seasons were fantastic, then it all went downhill.
I guess your point of view is fully understandable regarding the rip off aspect.
I'd rather play Uncharted than Tomb Raider, really. Never found the appeal for it. The former is a truly unique experience and truly feels like a movie.Calling Uncharted a Tomb Raider rip off is something someone who never played Uncharted would say.

Some people are taking "rip off" as "carbon copy"...Phelaidar
Yeah I know where your coming from but rip-off also implies negatively which is why the hostility.
The premise of the two games are similar. I don't think anyone is trying to argue that Uncharted isn't a better game and with its gunplay & cinematic narrative and overall which is what I was referring to before. I feel Lara Crofts appeal was banked on too much and their focus was mainly puzzles neglecting everything else. They never seemed to get the camera right. TR was the only sort of game for years before Uncharted came along and showed the way.
I think what is trying to be said is they have similar roots thats all. When you think of either game whats the closest game you can think of. To the guys who are saying its unique I agree because it does everything better than TR you can't compare it like for like but like BL has said there is that basic similarity. Its not a "rip-off" in that sense as Phelaidar points out
Id reccomend prince of persia 2008 as well, decent platforming set pieces, some puzzlez and it has that cinematic hollywood blockbuster vibe to its narrative. Or better yet any of the older Sands o time prince of persia games... Sands of time is probably one of the best action adventure games to date with its great game mechanics and beautiful storytelling.illmatic87
Hmm, now that you mention it, its the same voice actor and you run around with a girl. so it felt kinda similar.

I can tell you right now and right here that they do things in completly diffirent ways.The premise means nothing when the actual events and how they are done are completely different.

Farscape is more alien and weird with jokes and they are not part of some great faction. The ship is organic and has no weapons and the main character is a scientist and not some superhero or a warrior for that metter.
Andromeda is very diffirent. It tries to be serious but it never reaches anything specific. Its casual, the ship is an epic battleship with an AI and the main character is some kinda war hero that does everything by the book and he tries to be too good in his actions like he is worrying about his karma. Honestly this is the perfect example of something done in completly diffirent ways.
Not really any games on pc that are like Uncharted.... One of the only reasons i own a ps3 is for Uncharted2 and Heavy Rain :D
still use my PC way more for gamign then my ps3 or xbox, but there are a few nice exclusives for consoles.
I would suggest tryign some of the old school advenutre games. They are not as cinematic or crazy grpahics as Uncharted, but some very good adventures to be had in games like The Longest Journey, old school Police Quest games, 7th guest and games like the old Broken Sword.
