Seriously cows, what makes Uncharted so good?

The graphics are breath-taking, yes, give Crysis a run for its money.

The gameplay looks average though.

Don't hype this game AAA, the best it will get is 8.5, think abou it, 12hr sp, no multi-player whatsoever,


Uncharted will get 7.5 - 8.5, and not because GameSpot is biased, but because the game brings nothing new to the table, other than graphics.

Hyping Uncharted AAA is like hyping SMG AAAA. Don't Do It.

Dude, it is already hyped AA. Cows aren't hyping AAA for uncharted. I will point out that it won't be a BAD game, it should be fine.

I think it'll get an 8.0 here, but after seeing Ratchet's score as compared to the rest of the critics, who knows...

This game is officially hyped AA. But if that doesn't /endthread right there, let me continue.

Naughty Dog is known for making top-notch games with well-made gameplay.

Haven't you heard them speak on the "three pillars of gameplay"? If the platforming sucks, there's the gunplay and puzzle elements. If the other two suck, there's platforming. They have experience in all three elements...and they've been around since...well, a long damn time.

It's totally unreasonable to look down on this game when it comes from a pedigree like that. The game is AA hype, ****

It's been affectionatly nicknamed 'Bloke Raider.' Thats what makes it so good.

The graphics are breath-taking, yes, give Crysis a run for its money.

The gameplay looks average though.-D3MO-



The graphics don't perhaps look breathtaking, but the art direction is fantastic. The gameplay looks thoughly Raiderish, and though combat appears somewhat clunky, it is supposed to be fairly accomplished. The exploration and puzzle elements seem promising, if perhaps a throwback to Ms Crofts early adventures. Some may say no bad thing.

Don't hype this game AAA, the best it will get is 8.5, think abou it, 12hr sp, no multi-player whatsoever,-D3MO-

Why must a title include multiplayer to be considered of worth? Are Lucasarts adventure games any worse for being single player affairs? Would Tomb Raider, a game Uncharted apes so, be improved with a multiplayer aspect? If anything the experiance would be cheapened by it.

Uncharted will get 7.5 - 8.5, and not because GameSpot is biased, but because the game brings nothing new to the table, other than graphics.

It looks as if it will be a solid, if unspectacular game, but thats not to say that it can't surpise us yet. So what if nothing new is brought to the table? It's a refinement of a decade old formula, and could be an accomplished title. Lack of innovation hasn't stopped prior titles from recieving steep accolades, and it shouldn't prevent this one from doing so either.

If Perfect Dark Zero was worthy of such a lofty score, then this should far surpass it.

BioShock, the lemming's golden goose, is a 12 hr game with no multiplayer, and it's a shooter.

I think it's hilarious how people will gobble up unoriginal shooters ad infinitum but when someone attempts to make only the second game in this particular genre (unless you count Pitfall) it's somehow one too many.

Once again, what did Halo bring to the table that was new? Don't even start with TEH FORGE AND TEH REPLAYS. Don't attack games for lacking innovation unless you're prepared to look in your own camp and accept that 99% of games have "been done before".
