For every great shooting section, there is a complete time waster section. I mean when you realize the main story is ~15 hours, it makes sense that they would need to fill in some time, but most of this shit is just annoying. I get that we need climbing so that the character can get from point A to point B in a dynamic, exotic environment. Adding in something like the grappling hook can make something tedious like that a bit more exciting. But do I really need to blow up two doors with dynamite, then roll some stupid crate over to a ledge instead of you just making a few extra stones for me to climb on? I don't think anybody would have complained if this game was a few hours shorter and didn't have all of these tiny little things that make me roll my eyes. The only thing that could make me finish this game was the charisma of the actors. It's not even an original or well-written story.
still the cream of the crop when it comes to these roller coaster type games, pacing can be shaky at times but most studios still haven't caught up to this.
That chase setpiece might have been the best in the series if the driving controls weren't so shit. As it stands, Convoy from Uncharted 3 is my favorite.
