I chose, The Last of Us!
The Last of Us was such a great game. I did not play it until about August, because I was not sure if I would like it since I dislike Zombie games usually. I dislike them because of the repetition and the poor story lines (my opinion). But The Last of Us was not repetitive nor it had a poor story line. Au contraire, the story line was incredible! The best story line in video game history (again my opinion).
Story Line and the Emersion
The Story Line was filled with emotions. Sometimes I wasn't even sure how to feel. SPOILER [wen Tess died, was I suppose to be sad, she was a great character, but at the same time she was infected... Thus she needed to leave the group. I was sad, happy and relieved at the same time] SPOILER ENDS. It's then I realized, why am I getting attached to this video game, why am I treating it like real life? The Last of Us was the "second" title to immerse me this much in the world. The Elder Scrolls series has immersed me in all of their games, but I had to try and I had to role play. In the Last of Us, I did not even have to try to get immersed. It just happened....
The Music
The Music... It was incredible. Flawless, Gustavo Santaolalla did a great job on the music. It sounded perfect for the theme and the emotions of the characters in the video game. It was dark music thus it went vet well with the darker/sad theme. It also added a lot to the experience. Without the music, the Last of Us would not be the same game. When I listen to the music in video games, I treat it like if it was the graphics. They're either bad or incredible. This leads me to my next point graphics.
The Graphics
The graphics, they where incredible. The lighting, the shadows, the plants, the buildings, everything from the grass to the huge universities looked great. There is really not much to say other than this, it was the perfect game to end the PS3 before the next gen games came out.
I could write a full out 15 page review covering every aspect in detail and giving examples, but that won't do much. If you've never seen the game and have a PS3, it's a must buy.
