So far, the best looking console game I've seen in a long time!

I've just picked this up today. Having recently played Batman, it's very frustrating not to have Predator mode to see the number and location of guards/enemies, as well as not having zoom sight, Batarangs or Batrope.

It's a little fun and has little collectible trophies but what I find frustrating is that you can't always go back to get a trophy.

It is, however, a new style of gameplay for me and so will need some time adjusting.

£21 all-in is a good price. I had planned to just buy older PS3 games since I'm not a heavy gamer. Obviously with Arkham Asylum, I had to buy the collector's edition and today, because I'm doing night shifts, I needed a new game quick.

I haven't used egay in over a year now but most of it's still the same.

Make sure you're logged into egay, enter whatever you want in the search field (in your case, I entered UNCHARTED METAL, without capitals of course) and press search. It'll come up with nothing. Then look down the left hand side and select 'COMPLETED LISTINGS' and only one result comes up - yours!

Unfortunately, at some point in the past year, egay have changed things so you can't see the bidders names so I know you only as the second bidder (in the past, bidders names would have been shown). When you or the seller leave each other feedback, I will be able to know your username too. Then I can add you as a favourite seller, and then the stalking can really begin :twisted:

Just kidding. Sometimes interesting to know how much something went for or whether the seller is a power seller etc.

Ah, thanks for the explanation! You really should be a vigilante :lol:

And yes, eBay have did nothing but fcuk things up for some time now - it's great if you're a buyer these days, between the seller not being able to leave you bad feedback and free postage on a lot of items, but that just means the place will become a seller ghost town eventually. And that's before you get to the rip-off fees for sellers :roll:

I've got the original ‘Uncharted’ with my PS3 but never played it, what is it comparable to? is it worth a few hours of my time?

I never played the original but it's a very different game to what I'm used to. Difficult to compare it to anything (maybe that's why it's so good). In the second version, so far, I've escaped a trainwreck, and broken into some temple type thing and right now alarms are going off left, right and centre and I need to escape!



I would honestly say yes, give it a blast.

I'd say it was a cross between Tomb Raider and Gears of War. Tomb Raider for the climbing, jumping and puzzle solving and gears of war for the hiding behind walls and shooting. It's not as boring and predictable as Gears of War, and not as fussy as Tomb Raider. The control method is excellent and reminds me of Soul Reaver in many ways.

Definitely worth your time.

Well I won't be getting a PS3 until Christmas offers are abound but I just checked out a youtube gameplay trailer of this and frak me the character motion looks fantastic.
