The absolute pinnacle of my 40 years as a gamer!!
When is the last time that you can say that your actually had to stop mid-game and just take in the visuals? You truly buy in to the character of Drake. You begin to fight his fight. Moments in the game bring great satifaction, and true emotion. The non-stop action is draining but in a fun way. This game keeps begging you to play the next scene. I was a bit sad at the end when it was all over. I can't wait for the next installment.
Thank you Naughty Dog!! Once again your have exceeded my expectations! Other companies should take a page out of your, "How to make a great game" book. Game of the Year, a shoe in.
