Uncharted 2 Thread (Keep it here) GS - 9.5, Metacritic - 96!

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]The beta is amazatastic :o Yes, that's a word.tonitorsi

Really? I haven't download it yet. :x

How is is it? Does it have an offline mission with AI like the RE5 demo has? Need to know this...

No it is just MP Deathmatch and Co-op. Still really fun and good way to get use to the gameplay.

Lol Ok, once again:

Quick Highlights of Eurogamer:

The Good

"The exceptional voice actor Nolan North throws out a few gentle quips that conveys his characters puzzlement without every seeming contrived or scripted"

"The way Uncharted 2 unites its platform and action sequences is often its greatest strength, escaping the repetitive pattern of discrete alternating sequences in Drake's Fortune - and helping to manoeuvre the action between diverse locations in the process, which was another sticking point two years ago."

"Stocked with derivations on deathmatch and team games like capture-the-flag, king-of-the-hill and domination, the players' unusual agility, a good ranking system with credible perks and a satisfying choice of playlists make it an easy decision to stay on for the next game, and then several more"

"The decision to match everyone's loadouts and sprinkle marquee weapons around keeps you guessing, and there's lots of personality to each encounter: levels are repurposed and augmented single-player settings and a few have game-changing gimmicks attached, like a tank that rumbles through a village killing indiscriminately. It's also possible to hang from ledges and pull other players over your head as they approach for a quick kill."

"By the end of Uncharted 2 though, Drake has found his place in the world, and so has the developer - among giants."

The Bad

"There are also a few occasions where the platforming lets you down, often to a bloody pulp hundreds of metres below, despite the feeling you were jumping in the right direction."

"There are co-operative levels too, including something in the Horde/Firefight mould, although these arguably suffer from the same issues as the more extreme battles in the single-player, and multi-person tasks like pushing or lifting objects feel a little contrived."

*sigh* Ok one more time:

The game is shaping up to be beyond expectations, I'm so glad I got it over Modern Rehash 2, Well Deserved Mr. Drake, Well Deserved-- I shall now stop having to migrate my thoughts across 4 different threads :P

This Man Deserves His Drink!

Oh man, I forgot about the demo going public today. I am there tonight, baby. Thanks for the sticky by the way, the endless stream of Uncharted 2 threads was getting ridiculous, lol.

9.5. I'm tempted to say a 10 is a possibility, but I seriously doubt it.

[QUOTE="-Oath"]That makes no sense whatsoever , sorry. Uncharted is generally considered to be a great game. Just the thought of an Uncharted sequel will get people interested and excited because of that. Then they show us the game , reveal the details , characters , multiplayer , and they let a bunch of people play it. They then discuss the small changes and what they learned from the first game that they could do better and what they want to achieve with this one. Where have you been? Top notch graphics is just one element of the appeal.

There's only one second coming, and that was Metal Gear Solid Guns of The Patriots. But Jesus is a busy guy , and he's made additional returns and he'll be making a lot more trips after Uncharted 2.

• 3rd coming - LittleBigPlanet
• 4th coming - Killzone 2
• 5th coming - Uncharted 2
• 6th coming - God of War III
• 7th coming - The Last Guardian

Uncharted 2 is the 5th coming of Jesus , not the 2nd.

I'm assuming you don't follow gaming much , so I apologise if I offended (informed) you.

[QUOTE="-Oath"]

So are majority of those who are hyping thios game simply hyping it because of teh graphix? I mean many even admitted that Uncharted 1 wasnt that good, now this one is being hyped as the second coming of Jesus.

A notable quote: "Just as Raiders is Spielberg at the top of his game, Uncharted 2 is Naughty Dog at the top of theirs, and further proof that they are masters of their craft."

I wonder what Edge will give U2?TREAL_Since

Yandere

And gave Halo 3 a 10II-FBIsniper-II

"Again, these are minor quibbles. Uncharted 2 is simply a vast improvement over its predecessor, and it's a damn great PS3 game. Let's leave the "are games art?" question for another time; what Uncharted 2 proves is that games are, at the very least, craft. Just as Raiders is Spielberg at the top of his game, Uncharted 2 is Naughty Dog at the top of theirs, and further proof that they are masters of their craft."

While that is quite a complement from 1up comparing their work to Spielberg. Great job ND!!!

CVG review up...another 10

.Review: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

CVG has only given about 6 or 7 games a 10 in the last 15 years or so....so take that as you will.

The beta is taking so long :cry:

Wait wait wait. So the demo isn't single player? :(Jandurin

Nope, multiplayer only.

Add me on PSN though so later we can play (once I finish downloading).

That's very true, it's amazing that CVG gave Uncharted 2 a 10, I don't think they even gave OoT a 10.

edit:

My mistake, they did. :P

does anybody know if the co-op mode can be played offline with split-screen?

sasapac

No offline slitscreen with this game unfortunately. Would of been perfect for the co-op missions but no game.

I played the beta in June and you didn't need a headset to play it like more tactical games but I guess it would be nice especially if you have friends on PSN.

Jesus, these are the highest reviews since MGS 4 :shock:angelkimne

I don't see why people are surprised as I saw this after E3.

1up review.

BTW, looks like I bought a PS3 at EXACTLY the right time ;)Jandurin

Ah, I bought it at release, I got to play all the "fun" games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Ridge Racer 7, Call of Duty 3, and Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom.

Another great review though it is in spanish. It is on Metacritic though. 97.
