I expect 8-9s universally like the first one. The first game was highly polished, just lacking in replay value and depth, and this one looks to completely correct that. Videos can always be deceiving because it just shows what the devs want you to see... but I have no reason to believe Naughty Dog would make a worse game than the previous one. It's not like they changed developers or tried to drastically change the formula. There is a lack of swashbuckling adventure games on consoles this generation, as well as new IPs, and I feel that Uncharted handily fills both of those roles. The story is cliched, but it's certainly not delivered poorly. Nate is a truly likable character, and the settings and locales were nothing short of gorgeous. The only sticking point with the game is that it had no multiplayer and extremely limited options for replaying. Even a simple mercs/horde mode would have sufficed, but from the sounds of it, with a separate co-op campaign as well as online multiplayer (which includes platforming and melee, which blows my mind backwards) this one will certainly not be one to write off.
