I tried in vain to enjoy Uncharted as much as humanly possible.
Great environments, great graphics, excellent music, awesome voice acting/cutscenes. But mildly interesting and sometimes bland gameplay. It really took some effort to finish the game at the end (not that it got too hard, I was just kinda losing interest, gameplay wise).
I can admire the game for what it is, but it just didn't vibe with me. And neither did the U2 beta. Phooey.
