Ingenious game, perhaps the best ...

At some places there are minor "spoiler" in the form of examples for specific situations. From the story or anything else Maßgeblichem nothing is mentioned.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is the best for me, what I have ever experienced. The figures control fluently, the cover system works properly, the objectives achieved (with some practice, mind you) first class - the feeling is one joy. How to do it, one is left to itself, I personally told both ways to - do your enemies quiet or bypass and the direct confrontation.
Which I welcome, is that you will never be brought to unüberblickbare enemy hordes throughout the game. Other games mean to increase the difficulty by allowing you, the further progresses the game to provide an ever greater enemy masses. 'The Last of Us' does not do that. I will therefore never say that the game would be easy, far from it. Only the difficulty is not designed by many opponents, but by the way of dealing with the situations.
The game features gameplay from manufactures a wide variety of which provides both action-packed scenes, as well as exploring the surrounding area (in search of consumer goods). The game is always kept in a good balance, so that it continuously remains very varied.
With over 13 hours of play (I have the first run on 'light' used) the game is indeed fallen quite short, but this is less important for me. Therefore remains the motivation to continue playing over the entire term of very high (expressed so that I have to play with smaller interruptions in a day played out, because I just could not manage to put away the controller).
For the gameplay immensely important also is the role of companion. In this case, the (at least most of the time) Ellie. And in this game, this support does absolutely awesome. The partners will meet opponents when they shoot, help one in a number of situations and a fall at no time to load. In addition, none of the attendants what in some other game was often the case annoying. But more on that later.

Graphics:
For graphic enough to be one word: bombastic. The game just looks so so beautiful, every scene is incredibly rich in detail, there are growing plants in the abandoned buildings, everywhere are cracks in the walls - it's a feast for the eyes.
The characters are perfectly implemented, the advertised motion capture has kept his promise - the characters move realistically and their faces are full of feelings.

What the game so special:
There are many games that have reached a great gameplay and beautiful graphics. So what makes this game one of the best in my opinion games of the PS3?
Well, for one, the story itself is nothing spectacular, enthralling and tell of emotions. The characterization is so deep that you mitfiebert with every step of his character. If you get into tough situations, you feel the stress on your body, the character is injured, it hurts a self - at least I felt that way. At one point in the game you are thrown into a situation where the absolute helplessness emanates: no weapon, limited view, a huge city, and many opponents. In this situation, I have consistently felt this helplessness and every time I ran an opponent's arms, I am moved together and felt as if I myself was in this situation. A game that the player so strongly conveys those feelings, I had rarely, and all this in the most positive sense. It is completely packed. Here is my opinion the strongest point why the game really aimed at adults. In addition to the partly high levels of violence there are those situations that demand a mentally a lot.
. The other point, why the game is so special, many details of various kinds of times are a few examples: I run with Ellie through a city and observe how they kneel and for forming shoe; I look around in some rooms, come back to Ellie, who has sat down to wait for me; I ride with Ellie and jump over a barrier, after which they would be, and stresses that this'm kidding. These are just three examples of situations that occur many times during the game. This makes the game look alive, it is dynamic and sets itself apart from other games. There are those little things, which I was happy again every time.

What remains to be said in conclusion?
The game is definitely one of the best. If you play it, you have to, of course, make it clear that it is not child's play, in other words, it is shown partly drastic violence and some situations require a lot from. And then, there are still others scenes that have such a quiet and emotional character that you just stirred viewed on the TV. The game is varied, bombastic staged and peppered with countless elaborate details. The game requires and has thereby a constant level of difficulty - it is easy at the beginning neither, nor at the end too heavy. I have played the game right through a second time, to explore the world again, am now just before the end and had no less, if not more fun than the first playthrough.

For whom the game is not suitable?
- Players who want to shoot through the game
- Players who are displeasing to spend a long time playing with it to explore the local area and things to look for
- Players who reject the portrayal of violence in games
- And (to that again to make it clear) players who are under 18 (because it is definitely a game for adults)

For whom the game is useful for?
- Players who are looking for a gripping story with great characters and thrilling situations
- Players who are looking for a varied gameplay
- Players who can enjoy it when a game full of details is

For Ellie-Edition:
I personally am a big fan of Special Editions of any kind. This, however, here is, I think, not for any recommended. Very nice, I think the stock portfolio that features five compartments can accommodate the content. The poster looks elegant and integrated book with the art printing also makes what ago. The multiplayer content, however, have not now the stool torn (or I have not even used, because I also so just fine came) and also the soundtrack Personally I like not to 100% (in-game music is very atmospheric contributes to the dense atmosphere, but just for listening, I felt it was rather unspectacular).
I have the 15 Euro more remains popular output, because I find the visual layout very nice, because it is something nobler than a single hull.

So everything has been said. From me there is an absolute buy recommendation, since 'The Last of Us' is definitely one of the strongest games of today.
