Review Summary: Best Adventure So Far
Review Content: This game is one of a kind, the graphics amaze me, showing what ps3 capable of, the story is brilliant, making it fun, challenging, and engaging all the way through. There is a demo on PSN if unsure about buying this. As for me 10/10

Review Summary: Great action let down by graphics & repetition
Review Content: My favourite game on the PS3 at the moment. The graphics are great... when the textures eventually load up, which seems to be a frequent problem. Gameplay is addcitive and fun, though it does get repetitive after a while. Don't expect to play this for days on end.
Would I buy this again? For £15: definitely!

Review Summary: Enjoyable, but far from perfect
Review Content: I can kind of understand all of the gushing reviews for this game. There is something about it that is enjoyable, and fundamentally playable. But it is far from perfect.
Although subjective, it feels like a hybrid of a number of games. In my opinion:
* Gun combat is like GTA4.
* Climbing, running and jumping is similar to Assassin's Creed, but much less free-form and slightly dumbed down. (There is a "tower climb" moment that is almost identical to the tower climbs in AC).
* Level-puzzle style of Tomb Raider, but again slightly dumbed down.
The plot is fun, but hardly cerebral; its action-film-esque (there are occasional interactive cut-scenes such as jumping off cliffs as they crumble beneath you) though it does lose itself in the middle. Voice acting is good, and there is a layer of warm humour, showing that the game doesn't take itself too seriously.
However... it is essentially a glorified platform game. Puzzles get no more complicated than finding a key to unlock a door, and the location of the key hardly requires a Mastermind champion. There are only so many ways level progression can be slowed down in this way, and it does quickly become samey.
On the plus side, the developers clearly realised this, and implemented a number of small set-pieces which work very well, e.g. riding up rapids on a jet ski, or shooting quad-bikes from the back of a jeep. Although short, they distractions give the game enough momentum to keep you interested.
Combat is definitely a weak point of the game. The camera doesn't help, but essentially it's no more complicated than finding cover, and occasionally popping out to shoot. There is virtually no challenge, and it is a little dull. Enemies take an age to drop, unless you score a headshot. It's frustrating that the most effective weapon in the game is the default pistol.
Again, the developers probably realised this and introduced a "trophy" system which rewards different aspects of the game, such as kills with various guns. The rewards are genuinely interesting, such as the ability to render the game in different styles. It's quite unique.
Visuals are great, but not as mind-blowing as some of the reviews on here may suggest. I certainly hope this is not the visual peak of the PS3, and trailers for games such as Resident Evil 5 would suggest it definitely isn't.
All in all, it's an enjoyable 10-15 hours. But there is definitely a promise of more to come. Naughty Dog has shown itself to be a company that has put a lot of thought into the game, and it shows.
However the game ultimately lacks any real depth, and replay value is relatively limited.
