    Uncharted oh sorry! Unearthed is a real rip-off of our beloved series, there is no reason to take a second look at it.

    Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta is pure garbage. It just about works, it's shameless in its mimicry of better games, and it's as ugly as Satan's pink portion. God damn, there's something hilarious about it though.

    By the way, this is just Episode 1. Do the developers really think that anyone would go for seconds?

    It's a broken, buggy mess. Pretty much nothing works, the movement is bad, the "action" is even worse. The best thing going for this game isIt's a broken, buggy mess.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. The game is 1-1,5 hour long. It's also Uncharted clone. The entirety of 1st episode consists of 6 chapters:
    1. escape from office building, including shooting (takes 5-10 minutes);
    2. a tomb, featuring kindergarten-level puzzles, shooting and a whooping 30-40 minutes of gameplay;
    3. riding on quadbike, shooting at people chasing you on bikes and helicopter (takes 5 minutes);
    4. walk in the city. Yes, you just follow two guys through the city streets. You walk VERY slowly. Takes 10-15 minutes;
    5. rooftop chase. Take 5 minutes
    6. GTA-style driving away from cops. The thing is entire city is just 2-3 blocks copypasted over and over. Takes 5-10 minutes.

    All this interjects with inept fist fights and poorly-done cutscenes.    … Full Review »

    Many people would try to tell you that Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta is a poor man's Uncharted, when it's clearly the other way around. MyMany people would try to tell you that Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta is a poor man's Uncharted, when it's clearly the other way around. My friend and I discovered after playing through the whole game that what we have here is clearly the better experience. For example:

    Uncharted had Nolan North. Unearthed has Troy Baker. Which one of these voice actors won GOTY last year? That's what I thought.

    Unearthed: 1 Uncharted: 0

    Unearthed runs at 60 FPS at 1080p. Uncharted only runs at 720p at 30 FPS. Basic math tells us that since the frame buffer has roughly 4 times as many pixels and twice as many frames, Unearthed is at least 8 times better looking than Uncharted.

    Unearthed: 9 Uncharted: 0

    Uncharted 3 had horses. Unearthed has 4 wheel ATVs. That's 4 more wheels than Uncharted lets you ride.

    Unearthed: 13 Uncharted: 0

    Uncharted only runs on the PS3, while Unearthed runs on Android, PC, Mac, and probably the Gizmondo.

    Unearthed: 17 Uncharted: 0

    Uncharted only has creepy slippery Nazis. Unearthed has full on zombies, and it doesn't need to explain why they're there.

    Unearthed: 18 Uncharted: 0

    Uncharted usually only gives you a few weapons to choose from at any time. Unearthed has more weapon types than there are enemies in the entire campaign.

    Unearthed: 19 Uncharted: 0

    Nathan Drake is a ♥♥♥♥♥ who gets scared and emotional when the going gets tough. Faris Jawad doesn't stop cracking jokes even when a gun is fired at his sister.

    Unearthed: 20 Uncharted: 0

    Finally, as Unearthed rightfully points out on the store page, this game has been translated into more languages than most best-selling literature will ever see, because Semaphore knows everyone will want to play this and wants to be culturally sensitive to everyone. Uncharted consists of playing a white guy shooting minorities. I think we know who is more socially responsible.

    Unearthed: 41 Uncharted: Racism

    Winner: Unearthed

    This is just a summary of all the things that make Unearthed the best. I didn't even go into detail about the leisurely strolls through the city discussing the plot, or the Kafka-esque analysis of the futility of escaping in a car as the city loops around you. There's just too much to this game to pack in one review, and I implore you to check out what may already be the de-facto GOTY of 2014.    … Full Review »
