Are you kidding? The entire game is recycled except for a short single player the stuck on. Actually allot of people would argue the first is a better overall game.

The single player is not "stuck on". Its short, but thats all. If you've actually played the game, you'd have seen Infinity Ward actually put a lot of effort and soul into the single player campaign. They didn't make one as an afterthought.

where to start, the engines dated beyond belief.Half baked Single player,half baked MP in some senses,the spec ops portion felt tacked on.But mainly my gripe is what looked good for CoD in 2007 doesnt look good in 2009 tbh imo it looks pretty dated compared to some of its competitors.

It wouldnt surprise me if they just recycle the archaic engine again for MW3 whenever that appears.

GameSpot gave the GOTY to Demon's Souls, GameTrailers gave it to Modern Warfare 2.

Fail Uncharted 2. Most overrated game of the year? Yes. This is coming from someone who's finished the game.

WinnerByTKO

Here at GS, I'm a little understanding of DS winning. I haven't played it but its my understanding that it did so many new things and didn't play it safe at all. You would die, alot, it was an RPG exclusive to the PS3. The game wasn't made to sell. I feel like it desereved GOTY just as much as Uncharted 2 for being a game that gave you a thrill, or experience that any of us haven't felt since the 90s. And yes, I know, I didn't call it :(.

However, GT giving GOTY to MW2. No. That's fanboyism. Thats crap. MW2 DID NOT deserve to win. It was the game that tried to sell as many copies as possible. That's it. It had a 5 hour SP, and a noob filled MP. Total crap on GT, I'll never trust their reviews again for giving in to the fanboy crap.

well to be honest, the fact that they gave MW2 best PC, 360 and PS3 game of the year as well as GOTY is total bull. even the lists were terrible... both the 360 and PS3 contenders were the same (RE5, FF4, MW2, batman AA, etc), they failed to mention games like demon's soul, inFAMOUS, R&C:CiT, Forza3, ODST, Total War, etc is just embarrassing. I can just imagine them frothing at the mouth when MW2 is mentioned

Read the thread name genius, it says on MAJOR sites, aka the ones with most credibility. I could make my own personal site too and give the GOTY award to a random Barbie game, now that doesn't mean much does it?

heretrix

Since when is Gametrailers credible?

Since when aren't they?

Since a long time ago. I've always just watched gametrailer reviews for the videos and not for what they say or the score they give. I remember them playing Crysis on Medium and also giving it an 8.5 for gameplay. And when they said they docked points from Uncharted 2 for being "unoriginal".

Giving GOTY to MW2 on PC, 360 and PS3? You can't be serious. I got the game yesterday for 360. It's fun but god it's total chaos online with all those air strikes, noob tubes, op shotguns, thermal snipers. Not to mention the SP is really short. Extremely overrated if you ask me.

Some people never seem to get it.

1. This is the second time I write this, IGN haven't announced their overall GOTY winners, thats why I didn't include it. How hard is it to understand this? Stop mentioning IGN as if Uncharted 2 had won their GOTY.

2. I have finished the game, I thought it was a decent game, but nowhere near the "masterpiece" or "GOTY" hype the game is recieving. I believe its overrated, and if its too hard to accept that I played the game and didn't think it was great, then I guess I simply dont care. I dont have to prove anything.

3. VGA? G4TV? If you consider these mainstream, pathetic attempt at review sites to be credible, then you need to do abit more research. VGA 2009 was nothing more than mainstream publicity and show up, their nominees where horrible.

i don't like UC 2 either, but to call it a failure as a game because it didn't get GOTY is just wrong, whether people like it or not, it's the console graphics king, and it has recieved stirling review scores across the board, and it didn't exactly lose to rubbish games either, demons soul is a pretty exellent game and MW2, which is probaly the most thrilling ,action packed, but very short, campaign i have ever played apart from KZ 2

GameTrailers isn't major, they're random.

We'll have to see what IGN hands out as GOTY.

But Uncharted 2 has won 39 game of the year awards so far, although mostly random sites.

So you're telling G4TV are pathetic review sites... Why did you mention the worst and most hated reviews in the industry? I mean GameTrailers aren't credible at all.

WinnerByTKO

It deserved it so much, thats why no one gave it the award right?

Give me a break, linear and boring climbing system, mediocre shooting experience and a decent story. Nothing more than that. If you can look pass the graphics, this game is nothing more than decent.

No, It deserved it so much thats why it won X-Play GOTY, VGA GOTY, won many awards at E3, it won 4 awards in X-Play, it won best PS3 game (including multiplatform titles) of the year from IGN, and that is why it scored higher than demon souls and MW2 on metacritic: Uncharted 2 is the second highest rated game this generation next to the much overrated GTA4. Its sad to me why lot of people think this game is overrated when it has amazing voice acting, graphics, cinematics, gameplay, addicting multiplayer, great story, addicting co-op, what more do you want? This game fully deserves GOTY and it is the highest rated game of 2009 too. Does that seem like no awards? Not to mention it winning Eurogamers GOTY award too and Eurogamer always rates PS3 games badly.

I like how he not reponding to this. its the higest raed game this year=game of the year. simples.

Yep, and i'm betting IGN will give the GOTY to UC2.

I was hearing the podcast and greg miller is worried that people wont give uncharted 2 goty because some of his co workers havent really put major time in both sp and mp and some said they might pick AC2 as their goty vote. Hopefully during the vacation they gave uncharted 2 both sp and mp a good run through.

Cause they agree with him thats how it makes it more credible. Im pretty sure if GT gave it to uncharted 2 he wouldint call it a major site. After GT giving MW2 an award for each platform idk what to think of thier opinion.

uncharted 2 is an extremely polished title and highly deserving of goty titles, is it particularly innovative? no not realy but its one hell of a package the obvious thing to focus on would be graphics which are impressive, character models and animation are all of the highest caliber the game is incredibly stable and plays in a very cinematic fashion, that said the multiplayer is ok it's far from bad but not exactly memorable either, also that quit out fine......ouch. but thats not realy a criticism the fact that a multplayer system is even there is a bonus, so cant complain it's there it works it's fun, the only criticism I have of uncharted 2 is that whilst the single player is great it's still not something I will go back to over and over again but thats me more than anything I tend to only play a single player portion of a game repeatedly if it's an RPG multiple characters stories etc. so whether or not a lack of replayability is one of the games flaws you decide. I'm positive UC2 will recieve more GOTY awards to go along with those it's already recieved.

Uncharted 2 was the most deserving of the award, and why it didn't win here on GS, I don't know. At least GS gave the award to another awesome game though, whereas GT gave it to a game that I think did not deserve to even be considered for GOTY honors.

Still, even though I like Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2 deserved GOTY.

A. What in the hell does graphics have to do with gameplay?

B. Uncharted 2 doesn't have an original bone in it's body, but it's a fantastic game and they sure as hell said it.

So far I haven't not seeing anything that makes them any less credible than the likes of IGN and Gamespot. What I have seen is a lot of disgruntled fanboys crying because GT doesn't agree with them.
