My friend rented it and said it was good up until some horribly illogical sequences, presumably somewhere toward the middle. Probably still worth playing.

i'm not sure what he means by "horribly illogical sequences" since a game is usually filled with illogical sequences, it does however have LOTS of pointless platforming half way through that gets boring quickly.

GAME OF THE YEAR.
Seriously, it's fantastic. I understand peoples problems with some of the pacing, it does flick between stealth, full on action and platforming at the drop of a hat, but by god when it's good it's absolutely stunning. The opening train escape, the battle with the helicopter, that huge fuck off temple puzzle, the train level, the level jumping from lorry to lorry as you rocket through mountains, the attack on the village, inside the mountain with your guide who doesn't speak any english, the whole of Shambala.
Really well written, in fact the best written and acted game I've played. It may nick a lot from movies but it comes together in a package almost as sublime as Raiders of the Lost Ark, taking all these cues and moulding them, thanks to great characters, in to something special.
The multiplayer is great.
The tech on display is mind boggling and Naughty Dog have made little advances that we hardly notice that will open so many possibilities in gaming. No loading after the initial load?! Without a hefty install?! As we jet from one side of the fucking world to another?!?! The train level!?!?!? THAT COLLAPSING BUILDING!?!?!?
I love it.

And if your friend is talking about what I think they are talking about, it really threw me too but gets revealed as smoke and mirrors later on.
