I know 1 is a 2d sidescroller and one isn't but the premise is similar as far as the characters and exploration and combat. Which do you prefer? To my surprise I'm really liked Shadow Complex call me crazy. Yeah it's not 3d but its pretty awesome in its own oldschool way with upgraded graphics.

Are we trying to find things they have in common? There are humans with guns?

No one can honestly pick Uncharted 2, as they have not played it yet. With that said, they're radically different games. The only comparison is the main character and the voice of said main character, which is voiced by Nolan North.

Scratches head? What!?!?! Are you kidding. One is a $15 DLC and the other is a FULL priced game. There's no comparison here at all. Like like comparing Ikari Warriors with Gears of War. lol!! No!!

That's because Nolan North does the voice for both characters.

awww I thought I heard it during GB's QL. Great.

Because of Uncharted I only hear him as Drake. So the entire time I was playing PoP it was Uncharted in a mystical land with a different female sidekick.

Even desmond in AC threw me off because all I could picture was Nathan Drake. And now SC, which for me is now going to sound like Nathan Drake hiking in the Pacific NW and fights terrorists while searching for different female sidekick...

You haven't played it, so you just picked something without any experience with it whatsoever. Nice.

And just like Uncharted 2, you haven't played Shadow Complex, either.

Let's not forget that Nathan Drake was never really a unique character at all. But then again, Naughty Dog didn't design him to be "unique".

Yeah, but you don't hear him talk all that much in Shadow Complex.And the chick really isn't a sidekick as much as a catalyst to get him into the thing.

i would think so, considering Uncharted 2 is a full retail, high budget release compared to an (excellent) XBL title.

Shadow Complex wins, best dlc game I've played in well.. Ever. Needs to be more games like it on the consoles. Not more shooter rehashes like Uncharted 2. In fact this one $15 DLC game is better than most full priced retail games this gen. I can honestly say that with no doubt in my mind.

Really can't compare them. One is a $15 DL Game, The other is a full priced disc based game. One is out, the other isn't. One is mainly a 2D side scrolling game, the other is a 3D action game.

There isn't really any unique characters, but that doesn't mean they still can't be good.
