I've played this game four times alredy. Simply put it is a fun, well written game. The artistic design and the graphics are so vibrant and detailed. One of the moments that just really shun in this game waws when Nate and Solly find a U-boat in the middle of the Amazon. If you've played this game than you know what I am talking about. For those who haven't, there's an old rusted german boat stuck on a waterfall. The water effects, the detailed boat, the lush jungle that surrounds them both, and the environment at a distance are just jaw-dropping. The lighting effects and the shadows are particularly stunning. When you are walking out of a dark area into the light, the light actually feels too bright for a split second. The facial and body animations are quite life-like. Heck, if you pay close attention to the game you'll notice that everything that ocmes out of Nate during active gameplay is lip-synced perfectly. This game seriously needed to be nominated for best technology and best animation. Of course the gameplay is satisfying enough to merit a purchase. Like I said in the bigining, I've played this game four times already and I wouldn't even finish it once if I considered it boring or broken. Yes, it is a Gears/Killswitch but it is very well done. I think this game has gone underappreciated. I can theorize that it is due to its comparison to Gears, to the stigma that PS3 has no games, and to Sony not hyping the game that much. I really hope that word of mouth bumps this game into more homes. It is surely worth our attention.
