I feel a secret slumber has slowly been lifted from my vision. I have new eyes for my PS3, no longer is it just a Blu-ray player with a gaming system tagged on. Instead, this second impression is of a good if not great, videogaming console that can compete with my 360, for gaming time.
And that is thanks solely to one videogaming title, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Don't get me wrong, I have tried other PS3 exclusive titles; Killzone, Little Big Planet, Resistance 1 & 2 but these didn't impress upon me anything other than a feeling of meh.
So why Uncharted 2: Among Thieves? What makes the PS3 gaming experience so much different this time? Maybe it's the combination of timing, uniqueness, refined fun and polish that made me go out and track down Uncharted: Drake's Fortune at a local Argos store, for £9.99. I'm now running through both games storylines simultaneously and it has been nothing but fun and adventure since.
I worry that this maybe the only exclusive IP that I ever enjoy on the PS3 platform(what with Metal Gear heading to the 360) but I can only hope it isn't. If nothing else, discovering how good videogaming can be(thanks Naughty Dog) on the PS3 has given me the patience to try out more titles in the future - even if they're not exclusive to the platform.
And who said first impressions last?
Woot! first comment! Do I win a toaster?
ReplyDeleteNo ysharros, will some toast do?!
ReplyDeleteYeh, my PS3 hasn't been up and running recently that much, been more on my 360. Iv yet to actually get U2, but i have played it and will soon be getting it. Im just not going to just yet, as im well into Borderlands :)
ReplyDeleteMy PS3 was my first new console, replacing my PS2. When I then got a 360 months later, I dissappeared into the land of microsoft gaming. Am warming slowly to the PS3s gaming performance - just needs a few more stand out exclusive titles for it to click.
