Yeah it is. Actually, I already played the preview version three times from beginning to end, so with the review version it's my fourth time. :lol
So I love to finally have some new levels. And after I'll finish it, I'm certainly going to get some medals to unlock crazy rewards.

In reference to the treasures you did find, were there any that were really hard to get to? For instance, were they so out of the way that you had to explore quite extensively or, perhaps, required platforming? I like a little challenge when gunning for extras. Were you even looking for treasures in the first place? :lol

Playing on regular difficulty level, the save file says it took me 8 hours 26 minutes to complete the game, Got about 29 of the 60 hidden treasures from the levels and only a handful of achievements (10 headshots, melee kill 10 guys in a row who are on their last breath etc). You can unlock a lot of stuff by collecting the treasures, but I doubt most will. Most of the treasures are just at the far end of the screen/area you can see, not difficult to get to.
The bonus videos are very much the same as the one's you can download from the PSN, they are all of really, really good quality.

Basch said:Well, the game won't be coming out until November 19th. Most sites are still covering Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, and Super Mario Galaxy. It will probably take another week before we get to see the first few reviews. Has anybody else noticed that the street date for the first issue of the new PlayStation: Official Magazine is November 20th, Uncharted's old release date? I wonder if they want to be the first to publish a review on the game. In that case, I should be getting a copy in the mail sometime this week.Unfortunately, three of the five magazines I subscribe to seem to come a week after it arrives at newstands (What's wrong with the Midwest?!?). I have no idea if PSM was one of them. Well, hopefully that won't be the case this time.
Hey, by the way, Anastacio, tell us what that message was that you recieved from Naughty Dog when the review copy came in! Come on, I even bolded your name; you have to reply this time.
bah, I'm going to go finish heavenly sword on hard mode. I'll be back when the demo is out.

I'll tell you why I don't like it Anastacio. I don't like to know when my game is going to end...I don't want to know when the story is coming to a close. I like to have twists in the game, surprising me about when the game is actually going to end. If the game feels like it's coming to a close, but actually there's a twist then hurrah, the game isn't finished. If I was instead aware that I was only at 80% I would be expecting the twist.
I was disappointed coming from Prince of Persia to GOW to find a percentage usage in that game.
You get me?
Though I can see why it's advantageous for Game reviewers.

Mesijs, what's the difference between Normal and Hard difficulty exactly? Just the number of hits enemies take to go down, or the amount of your health, or the actual aggressiveness of AI?
Loudninja said:
How were you right!? You were just a confused mess lol. You thought he'd both completed the game, and also completed only 57% of the game. You absurdist!
Marconelly said:
Let alone...what's the difference between Hard and Crushing!?
Oh and is "Crushing" open from the beginning?
SOLDIER said:
ummm...well Naughty Dog would tell you they couldn't make the same game without Blu-ray or the Cell. So they would've made a different game...maybe with amazing graphics but only 5 hours long? I JEST! :lol (proof that I'm jesting - Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed)
Guys you can beat the Donkey Kong games with 50%. I think even the later games were 30% for completion (final boss + end credits).
The confusing quote in question btw:
"So, I received the review version and have been playing 4:38 hours and I completed it for 57%."

SOLDIER said:
It's very hard to talk about this. I doubt it would be conclusive. But as I said...you would not have Uncharted as it is right now without Blu-ray and Cell...they would have done things differently, or made some sacrifices....like no loading throughout the game (HDD), the Animation (Cell) and PERHAPS hand-painted textures (Blu-ray)
I got you from the very start and didn't even need an explanation. I just told you my take on it is different, not because I'm a reviewer but because it's a must personally. I dislike when I don't know how far I am, and I don't like "long" games that much.deepbrown said:
About the difficulty, I thought the beta were pretty easy as well both on normal and hard. It's not even that harder on hard difficulty. I never got killed by an enemy, only when I mis-jumped due to the camera and a problem in the game.
Anastacio said:
Why?!? Are you telling me that this message would, without a doubt, tie up every loose thread in the game's story? That this message reveals the mad conspiracy of the military and corporate soldiers manipulating the golden monkeys to cause Nathan Drake to shoot every pot and box thinking of what kind of treasure awaits inside but low and behold there is a lama in the barrel and that this was all part of the plan which is named "Operation Exterminating Lama" so they can rid the biggest threat to their monkey king, Sasquach, but, remember, no one but the military could come up with such a vague name as Operation Exterminating Lama, which they gave to the monkies so that they could get Sasquach to appear only to anger Drake as he thinks that he has finally unfoild "their plan" but really just progresses it further by killing Sasquach which was the single biggest threat to the bald space marines that now emerge from the vacuum of space to reinforce the private corporations which were secretly funded by Microsoft so that they could finally get rid of those pirates (ARGHH!) who were just trying to protect Drake as he is the chosen one that oracle Sully has forseen that will rescue the Lost Treasure of Eldorado, which was in fact the secret plans of a new next-gen system that would bring balance to the format war, but hidden amongst the shadows, lying under the radar, was Super Agent Elena who had in fact filmed the whole adventure for Sony so that they could re-enact the exhilarting expedition for their unpopular PlayStation 3 to push them over the edge and achieve the top spot in the console war once again? As for what happened to Drake, Elena called him up and asked if he would like to help her film a documentary titled Uncharted 2.
Oh wait, now that I think about it, don't tell me! I think I just spoiled the whole game. :lolSOLDIER said:
Well there would have been a need to make trade-offs just looking at the size o the game and mandatory HDD for caching.
But let's look away from the console vs. thing and celebrate Uncharted for what it is; the game which has pioneered furthest into the next gen promises made two plus years ago.
There's just no other console game coming close to Uncharted in covering what next gen is about, even though there's many games which have had bigger staffs, bigger budgets and longer development pipelines (those games usually only hype one next-gen feature which Uncharted in most cases do even better).
It's a testament to the greatness of Naughty Dog, let's hope that Ready at Dawn is built on the same development philosophy.
NB: I can't be bothered with silly Nintendo comments ^.^
Impressive respond. Gotta read it when I wake up hihi =)Basch said:Why?!? Are you telling me that this message would, without a doubt, tie up every loose thread in the game's story?

I have a really really tight schedule honestly but that's not why I like "short" and percentage in games. Most videogames just tend to get "boring" if you can follow me.deepbrown said:Hm ok.
Twists are the best thing ever, but I do think they can come with a percentage anyway. Let's just agree to disagree. But I do get what you mean. =)deepbrown said:I like games that have a twist, like POP: WW...didn't see it coming, and it would have spoiled it if I actually knew it wasn't going to end
