Very little exploration of any kind, completely on the rails and neither character was likeable in any sense of the word.
I remember forcing myself to finish it because I spent money buying it.
I can see why people like it, but not my kind of game and don't feel it has any place being rated so highly as it is in terms of being a video game.
This is the reason why I'm against people who want to claim that video games can't be made into movies. They absolutely can. You're just telling the story in a different fashion. The problem is getting idiots who feel they need to change the story outright (Street Fighter, Silent Hill) or just pump the damn thing with references to the game with no context or explanation (Mortal Kombat: Annihilation). I imagine The Last of Us would work as a film. It's essentially a zombie apocalypse story, right?
