I picked up a copy of the Last of Us.  However in the US this game does not come with a manual.
But in the UK it does.

I was wondering if there are any United Kingdom members. Who own this game and could give the manual a scan.  I would show that user much appreciation.

Of all games this should have come with a manual, The Last of Us is right up there. Very unconventional controls with the weapon selecting and crafting menu during combat.

At one point I played about five hours of the game without reloading because I couldn't remember how.

I don't yet have that game, but once I do sure I'll scan the manual.

I was disappointed to see that the 'The Last of Us' manual is an electronic file readable through the PS3 only.  I was also upset to see that my Tales of Xillia doesn't have a manual!

Like most modern games, it holds your hand through the first, well, entire game. I never see the need for a manual (a paper one at least).

It did a god job of teaching you each trick once, but when you go a few weeks, or even months without being able to play and then try picking it up again it's easy for your fingers to get lost.

The Last of US UK manual is only 8 pages long and is black and white.

I rarely, if ever, look through a manual for controls etc. But some of them (particularly first-party Nintendo games) have some very nice artwork in them. That alone is worth it for me.

I've already lodged a complaint with Nintendo Australia (for what little use it'll have) about the fact that A Link Between Worlds didn't have a manual, as the artwork in the Zelda manuals is usually very good.
