![]() Without the strength in physical combat that Joel has, you often have to resort to cunning and stealth to stay out of the way of trouble. That doesn’t mean that the gameplay is “more of the same” though – the switch in perspective (to that of a little girl) also means that the flow and dynamic of the game changes. In fact – playing Left Behind made us want to play through The Last of Us again just to appreciate the story with a better understanding of its background this time around. We won’t go into any story details here, but the story progression here adds even more depth to the original game and is reason enough for fans of the game to invest in the prelude. It shows us the life of a once-innocent young girl before her world took a post-apocalyptic turn for the worse. Left Behind actually offers a more memorable experience than most full-priced games as well, as the story takes you on an emotional journey through the background of Ellie, one of the original game’s main protagonists. And although 15 dollars might seem like a lot for DLC – it is fair when you consider the average length of a new game and how much you pay for one of those. If this was a ten hour game it could have labeled as a full-priced prequel, so with a playing lenght of about two to three hours it feels only fair to release it this way. That may sound like a contradiction, but to fully appreciate all the character development that developer Naughty Dog is presenting us with you really have to play through the original game first. Left Behind doesn’t fall into that category, even though it serves as a prelude to the original game. As is the question with all DLC though, does it provide enough bang for its buck? As a wonderful piece of interactive entertainment at less than the cost of a dvd or bluray release, we believe it does.Ĭentral to a lot of debates about downloadable content is the question “why wasn’t this included in the main game?”, especially when it comes to on-disc DLC. Though the focus will be on multiplayer, it'll also add a new single player difficulty. Naughty Dog is also working with Sony and Screen Gems on developing a live-action movie adaptation of the game.Left Behind is the DLC expansion to last year’s hit The Last of Us, and basically gives us more of what was already a great game, with some twists to accommodate the new setting. ![]() ![]() What we know for certain is that The Last of Us has one final DLC as part of its Season Pass. One has to wonder though, does the success The Last of Us has seen on PS3 warrant a PS4 port? Though the game is rumored to be coming to Sony's new system, Naughty Dog has yet to officially announce anything. What's more, Left Behind, the game's recently released DLC, is officially the highest rated PS3 downloadable content ever, based on its Metacritic score of 89. The narrative that Naughty Dog crafted coupled with the game's strong storytelling and acting has made it easily one of the best games of the PS3's generation - if not the best, ever - so the sales are certainly warranted. Coming off winning numerous BAFTA awards, Sony and Naughty Dog have announced that The Last of Us has sold over six million copies worldwide since its launch in June of last year.
