A broke man's Uncharted is no substitute for the real thing.

hay3984d ago (Edited 3984d ago )

Comprehensive highlights of the review:
- PS2 graphics and level design
- Flat sound, as in B-class movie
- Broken collision detection(can move through pillars and fall through floor)
- Environments are boring, and their small length works on their advantage(less pain...?)
- There are hand-to-hand fight elements, which handle more like a 2D fighting game with lame controls(attacks with L and R buttons, finisher with Square)
- Episode 1 is less than one hour long
- Seems more like a mobile phone game than anything else.
- Gameplay wise seems more like a classic Tomb Raider than Uncharted.
- Reviewer admits he was frustrated multiple times on the bugs and glitches, but managed to sit through those 50 minutes.
- Good localisation.
- Good gameplay variety
- Devs said episode 2 will be greatly improved.

Still a better game than Call of Duty.

Every battle royale and soulslike. Every cartoony live service game with dancing

Nah most of the Soulslike games turned out pretty good. Probably the only one I didn't much like was Immortal Unchained.

Chris Mawson writes: "It has been widely regarded as one of the worst games of all time, but that’s not stopping Saudi Arabian developer Semaphore from ploughing ahead with episode two in its Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta saga."

I think I paid about 50p for it, despite the game being pretty bad (even for ps2 standards), the glitches were hilarious, I had fun with it :)

Vitalogy3140d ago

I think sony shouldn't even allow this on the Store.

freshslicepizza3140d ago

i think they should leave it up because what it does is show how much better naughty dog are

Lamboomington3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

not allow it ? why lol

traumadisaster3140d ago

Guess you've never been in the thick of it, knee pads can make you so much more effective my friend.

Roaddhogg3140d ago

Considering the game is cross-platform, why wouldn't it be?

raggy-rocket3140d ago

Because it didn't come out on Xbox

Roaddhogg3140d ago (Edited 3140d ago )

Episode 2 is planned for Xbox One, as stated in the article.

Protagonist3140d ago

Just learned about this game, and watched a couple of YT videos of the "first one". Wish I never did, this is probably one of the worst games, I have ever seen!
