Regarding the comments about difficulty - I played on normal setting and found it challenging enough, certainly 'felt' right to me in terms of damage you have to deal. Died a LOT finding best ways to kill groups of enemies, particularly clickers! I agree with other posters above regarding higher difficulty and the amount of damage it takes to kill an enemy - it would feel wrong in my opinion, but each to their own.
Completely agree with those about listen mode etc - if you want to make it more challenging then switch it off, way more intense. I would do the same for game hints and tips too, as it does spoil it a bit having things pointed out that you ought to have to figure out yourself. Finally, switch off melee prompts as well if you really wanna go all out.
Promo doesn't contain an online code so haven't been able to try multiplayer.
Was so impressed with this I've grabbed a copy of Uncharted 3 to try, hopefully it's good too!
Enjoy it guys, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to play with the lights off and the volume up!
Nice, thanks for the info! Normal it is then, I'll keep Hard mode for my second play through in a year or so.
Regarding the hints/tips, are those just on-screen stuff or is it a case of the characters pointing things out? If it's the latter I'd rather leave it on as I like the extra dialogue, but if it's just "You're supposed to do this" coming up on the screen, I'll probably disable it. Listen Mode is definitely going off though.
If you're going with Uncharted, I'd really recommend starting at beginning. You'll really like them I think, so it makes sense to play them in order. The third game is great, 2nd one is better, 1st one is the poorest of the three but it's still good fun and it's nice seeing how the games progressed and advanced from that.
