Goodness.
Though I have to say that Demon's Souls is so good that it actually killed my God of War 3 hype a bit. :lol I'll honestly be impressed if GoW3 turns out a better overall game.

Overall, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves needs to be played. The year isnt over yet but so far its the absolute strongest contender for game of the year. Id go so far as to say that Uncharted 2 is worth owning a PS3 for. It bombards with you an array of emotions thanks to the lovable characters and phenomenal voice talent. From fear, to sadness, to jubilation, and admiration, Uncharted 2 makes you feel like youre experiencing an interactive film and yet its still incredible even from just a pure game standpoint because it nails every facet of good game design out there and provides an experience that no other form of entertainment can. Marrying the best aspects of film with the best aspects of gaming, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a must-play.

mr_nothin said:I dont see how UC2 was playing it safe when it outdid everything from the 1st game. Made it longer, added multiplayer, added cinema mode, added multiple co-op modes. Everything about that is RISKY when you started out with just the single player. From the reviews and from all the impressions on here, they've outdone the single player experience from the 1st 1. So not only did they improve on the single player, you've got all of these added modes and such.
I dont see how that was playing it safe. If anything, they should be commended for actually pulling off a feat like this, that's insane. Not to mention that none of the added modes are tacked on. They're all genuinely great. So much replay value added.
If they're biased against VALUE, then this game should be alot higher than the score they're limiting it to.
JSnake said:why would crushing be easier than hard?? I've never played crushing but how does that even make sense?
It's smooth 30fps, you can tell easily by your eyes that it isn't 60fps. But yeah, the visuals are unbelievable. I was just playing this certain level and for a second I thought my TV and PS3 are gonna explode due to the too-much-to-handle awesome graphics. The art direction and vibrant feel of the visuals make them superior to real life's imo. :lolMagnus said:Man, this game is King Chief President when it comes to single-player scripted events. When other games give me scenarios where the floor gives way, or the walls/ceilings collapse, or whatever, and it doesn't look as good as Uncharted 2 (and nothing probably will for a while), I'm going to be disappointed.
It's like I've been irreparably spoiled. I'm kind of sad about that. :lol
Fuck this game is visually astounding. I feel insulted on Naughty Dog's behalf to see 9.0s for this. If nothing else, this is a 10 on visuals. It's criminal to believe otherwise.
What fucking more could people want from visuals? My god. I think I only remember one instant where the framerate dropped ever so slightly, and even then, it lasted for like, a whole second. :lol This shit is locked and it's beautiful.
By the way, are we sure this game's at 30fps? I'm usually a player who can notice the difference, and I thought I was looking at 60 this whole time. :lol
Kintaro said:Well, the newest Invisible Walls (GameTrailer's vidcast/podcast thing) talked about their Uncharted 2 Review (which was Shane Satterfield's review). They also has the guy who wrote the Demon's Souls review come on to "defend" his review too... (Shane: "When I got back from vacation, I saw the review and said "Hmmm...that's pretty high.") :lol
Anyways, long story short, according to Shane, GT will always score and skew games scores higher for games that are "original and offer value" more than anything else. According to him, 9.3 is the highest score a game like UC2, "which does absolutely nothing new or original and plays it as safe as possible", will ever receive.
Of course, there's absolutely nothing on the site that states how GT reviews their games and what they value over what so how were people supposed to know? :lol
So, he addressed it anyway, but without really addressing it. We'll see how this holds up with more sequels hit this year.

Calavera520 said:Does Shane seem like a total hack to anyone else? Invisible Walls is certainly far from being the best podcast altogether, but I really can't stand the commentary from Shane Satterfield.
Kittonwy said:Not sure why they would say it's not risky when they're basically juggling three gameplay systems (cover-based combat/puzzles/platforming), THREE modes (SP/MP/co-op) and trying to do EVERYTHING well, many games can't even do ONE well, they did ALL of them well. And it's not like they can go a completely different direction given an action-adventure game is what it is, if they made something completely different, it wouldn't be Uncharted.
Wario64 said:Gonna start a co-op objective game with ezekial soon. 1 spot left. Who wants in?
Actually, just watched a review of another game that just released, and while they admit that it isnt bringing anything fundamentally new to the table, they word it so that it doesnt sound like a critique. (it's sticking with what's proven to work, GT says) Whereas the Uncharted review, they say not a lick of innovation or originality...talk about inconsistency.Pristine_Condition said:H
Applied to games, Halo is a Heinlein knock-off, GTA was knocking everything else off, ect. ect. ect.

Dizzan said:Sorry but how can you forget Ratchet and Clank. It looks amazing, and all the flaws from the original have been addressed (harder difficulty, trophies, new weapons).
I hope it doesn't bomb because Insomniac have really listened to the fans and made an excellent game. I hope the demo increases the hype.

GameZone Uncharted 2 review 9/10
Graphics: 9.0
A couple of glitches that might be attributed to the review code used, but generally this game looks great. The eyes on Chloe and Elena are a bit glassy and not that good looking.

Doesn't make a big difference, the game is out in two days anyhow. If you can get 19 people the game, does it matter who they are?ashism said:Thank you.
Exactly, why would I want to tell the gaf lurker army about it? It's only one store with so many copies, I'd rather them go to gaffers.

Because a Mom n Pop store can get blowback via big fine or burned by supplier? If it's a random Big Box... no big deal. Hell I'm still waiting on that PM from Kabuki about the store in Toronto. But posting out in public? Stupid.Yoboman said:So people in the area can get it? What's wrong with that?
