Halo Reach and Uncharted 2, someones gotta do it

The 9.5 (boring as hell score) exclusive of the 360 and the PS3, in a faceoff. Right here. Right now. inb4differentgenresexcuse. Lets do this. Time to rock and roll baby 8)

Graphics: Uncharted 2 - If I didn't give UC2 this one, I'd probably get the "omg ur a troll/fanboy/fakeboy" thrown at me. I probably still will, but not quite as much. So let's go to what matters.

Story: Halo Reach - While neither is creative, let's get real here, people never watched Indiana Jones for the story it tells, and considering UC2 is in the same vein, some logic applies. Halo Reach had people getting banned for spoilers. Needless to say, the story was a way bigger focus in Reach and as such, it comes out the winner.

Gameplay: Halo Reach - Uncharted 2 is mostly a linear sequence of events that sometimes thinks its Tomb Raider and other times thinks its Gears of War. Fun to watch, but can't stand toe to toe with the extremely refined gameplay of Halo Reach. UC2's polish is in looks and coding (i.e. few to no glitches), Reach's polish is in the gameplay, the refinement of how you play the game and what happens in it.

Music: Halo Reach - This honestly doesn't even need an explanation.

Content: Halo: Reach - UC2 has single player and a multiplayer with a few modes as well as a co-op mode that's kind of just... there. Reach has the singla player campaign, co-op that was never an afterthought, Firefight, Forge, dozens of multiplayer modes, Theater, etc. The overwhelming amount of content to Halo Reach has no equal in UC2. This isn't even up for debate.

So, its time to place the crown. Who gets it?

Overall Winner: Halo: Reach

By a landslide too. There's little that Uncharted 2 can stand toe to toe with Reach in, beyond the graphics. Add into that the fact UC2 is largely forgotten by now while Reach will still be played actively for years to come.

Don't worry though, there's still MGS4. Which isn't as good as SMG2. Can't catch a break eh guys :)

When Skittles gets bored, we all suffer. :(

yeah I agree Uncharted 2 is inferior to Halo Reach....

I disagree. I don't think they're that easy to compare, Uncharted 2's campaign is significantly more fun and varied than Reach's, but Reach has much better multiplayer and many more features.

They supplement each other quite well actually, one with a great single player shooting experience, one with great online multiplayer.

I like both a lot, I'd probably give the edge to Uncharted 2 though.

mp is the only thing that Reach has better than UC2.

But the important part is neither can touch Super Mario Galaxy 2, Demon's Souls, or Mass Effect 2... although this does make me wanna play more Reach and replay UC2.

Nice opinion bro! =D Glad you are enjoying Halo: Reach that much!

But maybe you should blog it, because you will get fans here posting:

1- Opinion =/= Fact ;

2- The exact opposite of what you posted and claiming UC2 wins.

I thought Uncharted 2 story was great... Halo music aint that great though... everyone says oh its sooo good uncharted 2 music cannot beat it... But youtube told me otherwise, and i sort of agree, Halo is more light music where Uncharted has the atmospheric bass to it which just rocks. Halo was good gameplay but things seemd to be made of plastic like the vehicle tyres and some of the weapons... even the suites look plasticy.JohnF111

Story can go to uncharted as well. It can be the general premise behind it or the quality of the acting. Its not like the story of mass effect itself is often praised but how good the acting is in it. Thats how I look at it anyway because while U2 story isnt amazing(good enough), I'd like to think the last thing that was praised in halo was the story. Reach didnt exceed very much in this department. The music is a toss up because I find that while both totally fit the game, I only like 1-2 tracks on both games.

Overall though I agree.

oldkingallant

sorry that your beloved UC2 is inferior, and yes I played it, nice multiplayer, lol!

I disagree.

Reach had an absolutely terrible story. Uncharted 2 had a decent story.

I also found Uncharted 2 to be more fun, Halo's gameplay has started to get stale but uncharted still feels a bit fresh.

Skittles, you sir, are crazy. Though I do agree with your points, as I have to give Reach it's dues.

Both were excellent games.

Oh cool, can I try.

Graphics- Uncharted obviously. They're just purely amazing.

Story- Uncharted again. The character development is great. The Halo story was pretty good, but the characters themselves had weak personalities, and the story had some really bad parts like random deaths.

Gameplay- The singleplayer defeats the singleplay of reach by a mile. Reach's single player campaign was pretty good, but not great. Expected as they focus on multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer felt fresh unlike Halo's which was more or less the same thing as every other shooter, but Halo's is still better.

Music- Uncharted. The music fit PERFECTLY with the story and gives a somewhat nostalgic feel. It was far more polished, and the theme was great to hum nad very light hearted. It just fit. Halo's soundtrack seemed to be trying for too much.

Content- Halo Reach has more content as you said.

Overall Winner: Uncharted

And this is pretty unbiased, but not completely obviously. More so then the lemming OP.

Anyway I'm gonna try:

Graphics- Uncharted 2

Story- Uncharted 2

Gameplay- Split, better SP for UC2 better MP for Reach

Music- Halo: Reach

Content- Halo: Reach

Winner: Uncharted 2, only because I care more about single player than MP and story more than music, so the tie is broken and Reach is edged.

Do you see c wut I did thar? It's called an opinion, not everyone who has one is a fanboy.

yeah ok more so like the cow when you say the music is better on Uncharted 2...

. More so then the lemming OP.hexashadow13

I agree 100% - although UC2's multi is pretty damn good for it's 1st shot at it - it will only improve. UC2>Halo Reach as far as maps go though. Reach's maps are bland as hell.

Uncharted's story is much better presented than Halo's and its exceptionally linear campaign is filled with some pretty neat setpieces. But Halo's gameplay is more dynamic, the singleplayer has more freedom, and the amount of customization available in multiplayer blows Uncharted out of the water, and Uncharted doesn't even let you record singleplayer video.

I guess it comes down to what sort of thing you like more.

Halo Reach is a great game. Probably the best Halo Game. Can't judge UC2 as I haven't played it yet.

WTF is this??!?!? In other words Reach rox,Uncharted sux. I mean Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaly? are you serious..?Ratchet_Fan8

I'm a huge Halo fanboy and even I lol'd when you gave Story to Halo over Uncharted. Makes the whole thread look really biased...
