The Last Of Us PS3 Reviews review

In terms of the skulking around and stealthy murdering aspect this actually reminds me a little of Manhunt.

But in a good way.

Man, these impressions are getting me excited for picking it up in-store this morning. With Man of Steel to go see early, do I start this before or after my cinema visit?

Any bothered with some multiplayer shennanigans yet? Sounds interesting from existing previews.

No a 10/10 game is always a 10/10 game, as they tend to be timeless classics that age well.

Maybe we should round up the dozens of 10/10s we've seen this gen to see if they really are 10/10s all-time classics.

They are pretty frequent (checkpoints).

Game is about the story. The fact it plays well is a bonus really

That's all I need to know.

Depends which ones you are talking about.

It's nice to see peeps who are much further than I am praise it, builds my optimism for the overall experience

Played for a few hours last night. Looks and sound great. I'm hoping I'm still in the long and slow intro of this game and it will soon ramp up. Just met my first real clicker so I imagine it will start to get the arse pumping...

After reading the Eurogamer review, the first few hour are indeed slow and the characters bland, so hopefully I'm going to be in this game's tight bear hug later.

Crafting system looks good. Combat too.

So far, 7/10

Will play more tonight.

It's also been ultra linear and I feel like that 90 mins has contained barely any gameplay bar tucking behind a few boxes. The main plot seems to finally be kicking in now so I'm fully expecting it to crank it up a notch which should mean I get to glimpse what has been praised so much, it's just a surprisingly slow and almost automated opener which is a shame.

I don't mean to judge, but I am guessing from your avatar that your a massive Metar Gear Solid fan? If so that sounds mighty strange coming from a MSG player!

Cracked over 8 hours into this now and its getting better now! Starts of ok, gets interesting but then it rinse and repeats the same formula for ages. Its at this point where nice graphics don't compensate for linear repeating gameplay. At a guess this is around 5 to 8 hours.

Big things have happened in the story now for me, and it has changed up alot which is good. Even a few "wow I cant believe they have done that" moments!

Still a solid 7 from me, might creep up to an 8 if it keeps ramping it up like it is doing at the moment.

You've not read any of Dave's posts then?

AW ****!!!!!!

SAVED GAME LOST!!!!! I had completed 8 hrs last night and this morning the saved game loads up at 4 hr 51 minutes. WTFFF.

Has the Patch 1.01 caused this? I now have to replay nearly 3 hours of stuff- ****

Also, I have had issues with it loading......

Sorry for F word, but I am very annoyed

Fair point, but even some MGS entries have more gameplay in the first 90mins than this has
Looking forward to putting this on tonight and getting stuck in, I don't think I'm far from reaching the main part of the game so my initial concerns will likely go away quite quick. More I think on it, the more its just the not important aspects of what is on reflection quite a poor opening to the game.
