I have it. I've played it. And I feel weird.

Because the game doesn't entertain me.

I love action games. I love puzzle solving. I love good platforming. So why is it when I sit down to play Uncharted 2, I feel like I'm the only one on the planet who doesn't want to give the game a near-perfect score?

I'm not hard to entertain. I play lots of different kinds of games. I bounce from action to RPG to puzzle to racing. I love playing Mario games as much as I love playing Fallout 3 or Saints Row 2. So what is it about Uncharted 2 that makes me lose interest?

Is it the fact that it's gotten so much hype that I'm prone to hate it simply for that alone?

Is it that there's nothing really special about the characters to me, nothing I haven't seen in action movies of the 80s and 90s?

Or do I just have unusual taste? Because the whole time I tried to play Uncharted 2, all I could think about was my desire to play something else. Fallout 3. Skate 2. Heck...Wii Sports Resort. Those games entertain me. Uncharted 2 does not.

I haven't had it long though. I only played it for a couple of hours. But this makes me think of the last time a so-called "must-have" game for PS3 failed to wow me... way back when I wrote this blog about Metal Gear Solid 4.

But I know for a fact that both MGS4 and Uncharted 2 are perfectly competent games. Technologically speaking, they're very well made and deserve all the hype they get, I guess. But they just don't interest me. I'm just worried that I might have this feeling just because of some deep seeded, subconscious desire to not be like everyone else, even if it means being ostracized.

But meh. It's not that big a deal. I didn't like it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the game is well-made but wholly generic in its setting and feel.
