Good point, GTA4 is the most overrated game of all time and MGS4 was about a 9.0, it makes no sense.

they didnt want to have an angry 360 fanboy mob on their hands....by what they said about the game, it should have got more. 9.7/10...honestly by the sound of what they said its obvious they really wanted to give that 10...

You haven't played the game yet. Have you ever though it wasn't worth it? Don't act like it's the best game this generation if you haven't even touched the disc... Uncharted isn't the best videogame ever. STOP making threads about it and spamming the front page.

You cant give 10/10 to everything or it will be meaningless dont expect another 10s from ign or GS any time soon.

Here we go....

"IGN is owned by MS, and are biased."

"BOYCOTT IGN."

"Who's IGN? Why should we care what they say?"

"I'm going to start a petition to get IGN to change their score for Uncharted 2, because they obviously didn't play it."

I dunno, that was a crapload of hype. In fact, checking my Hype-o-meter, I think only Killzone 2 got more... At least from PS3 fans anyway.

Ign is owned by a major drug company and are trying to push anti-depressive drugs to gamers who get overly upset over review scores.

No. 9.5 is an exceptional score. But if it truly was the best game ever don't you think everyone would be giving it perfect scores? You can say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the amount of U2 spamming this board is getting is overboard. This must be what MGS4 and Halo 3 hype was like. :(

No, because the mods made threads specifically for Halo3/MGS4 discussion and deleted all new threads.

Most games that get 10's from credible critic sites are really 9.5 games that have an outside influence (not related to gameplay or individual game hype)boosting the score. GTA4 had the whole GTA factor and first new generation GTA game. MGS4 had several years of epic games story coming to a dramatic conclusion.

They need to do the same with this game. It's ok to hype but really this ODST UC2 hype is annoying.

If we're going by a game that everyone rates highly, then GTA4 would take the cake, since it's currently the highest rated game this gen with a 98 metascore, only to be eclipsed by Ocarina of Time when comparing it to every game reviewed by at least 5 reviewers (And recorded on Metacritic) in history.

Yes, we can... but in this case what you're saying is non-sense. You impliying U2 is bad because it got a 9.5??? Cuz that's what it looks like.

Didn't get a 10, so what??

Does a .5 really mean that much? No game is perfect, and don't expect any of them to ever be so.

Lets face it, it not getting a 10 here or at IGN. Why, it would be their third 10 in 2 years! The PS2 had one game that was AAAA last gen (GTA:SA) and the PS3 already has 2! You loose credibility if you LOOK like you giving 10s away. I'm sure IGN wish they could take a few points off GTA4 or MGS4 so this could have some glory. Looking at the review he didn't like 1 level and he thought certain pieces strayed from the plot (supernatural element...)and enemies would pour in the level 5 or 6 at a time (I'm nitpicking with that!). The reviewer ******* loved the game but it wasn't smart to give it a 10. If it had to get a 9.5 then he would nitpick to get it there, not the reviewers fault or even IGN's. Its just business. Read the review for the truth!
