I like the fact that when you're hanging off ledges it tends to be helpfully pointing in the direction that you need to go. Lara is an awful lot more acrobatic than Drake, especially in combat, which does cause a lot of additional issues when it comes to camera control. Tomb Raider fans are pretty used to it... I suppose close encounters with Lara's geometry are almost an essential part of the whole experience. :) Thanks LLL. :)

I agree with you on the combat side of things, it is a big part of the game , its done very well and the camera during the combat really is something that i think needs a mention. There was a lot of complaints that the camera in Underworld occasionally got 'lost' close to Lara's backside, but the camera in Uncharted remains strong be it hanging from a ledge whilst shooting, great dynamic camera angles whilst perform 'Brutal combos' or general gameply and gun fights. Great read Strident, looking forward to more TWTGTW's :) I too have just found myself playing through Uncharted i think as a gap fill game untill Killzone 2 comes out.

Everything about it I should enjoy, but it just doesn't quite work for me. I’m glad to see someone else who Half Life 2 just doesn’t click for.
