Uncharted 2.

I rented this and Brutal Legend over the weekend. I just now finished Uncharted 2 and let me summarize it:

Wow.

One of the better games I've played this year. Actually, both Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 are the two best. Absolutely great.

They worth renting then? How long did it take you finish them?

I still don't understand a damned thing about either game, is Brutal Legend an RTS with guitars? (lol) So many references, so little time. What is Uncharted like?

Uncharted 2 is akin to Tomb Raider and other adventure platformers, but with alot more action orientation to it.

Brutal Legend is action-adventure open world with some RTS elements.

Yeah, Uncharted is like a mix of this-gen Prince of Persia and 3rd person action games. This is coupled with some of the best acting I've seen in a game this gen.

Brutal Legend is a lot of things. It's an action game, an adventure game, it's an RTS... all in one?

The 'core' game play, that is, the RTS battles which the multiplayer has, is almost exactly like the PC game Sacrifice except with some Dynasty Warriors thrown in.

It's such a big mish-mash of genres that it can't really be pinned down. Calling it an RTS isn't exactly right as a large portion of the game takes part in an open world where you go around doing missions of various types.

Edit: Oh yeah, the first Uncharted took me about 12 hours to beat on normal? The second didn't take me as long but that's because I was familiar with the formula. I imagine it's got 12 hours of single player action on normal difficulty. The bonus to 2 is that it has multiplayer.

I bought 1 and I'm going to buy 2 when I get some cash after christmas.
