International Phenominon! A game loved and played by millions everywhere. Has spawned numerous sequals and has set the bar for strategy/ coop games.
What game has revolutionized the industry more than uno? It is the original stealth game and all games (looking at you MGS4) owe its existance to uno. Why hideo kojima grew up on uno! Now you may be wondering how is uno the master of stealth? Lets see what other game has you surprising your competition by suddenly swapping the color? What game first implemented the whole secretly get down to one card and say uno? And the layer of strategy doesnt stop there, you can shout uno before your oponent does and make them pick up more cards. Also MGS obviouslystole so many concepts from uno i mean snake is in a box in MGS3 and UNO is in a box, Snake can change colors using stealth suit in MGS4 and you can change color of the cards in UNO.
The gameplay is extremely rewarding. The best part is that it doesn't take long to pick up, but years to master.
Now UNO was the original cooperative/multiplayer game. I mean you could link up with friends and have fun playing each other all night long. The surprises and twists are always fresh, and each game plays differently. I think this is the definitive game when it comes to strategy, its practically like being a real life parent in a middle class household
Now lets talk graphics, there is still a game to come close to having as realistic graphics as uno, cause hell its real! I mean it simply is fantastic!
While there is unfortunately no score on gamespot (i think they got lazy) im sure it would be the first to get an 11. Sure battleship naysayers may try to talk uno down like its yesterdays news, but it has overcome all the fanboys and truly sits at the top.
Now let talk Story.... This is quite possibly the most compelling game i have ever palyed. I mean itsone of a well knownstruggle of friends fighting against friends, but with a twist, its played out with cards. I have to give credit to the people who wrote this story i mean not even shakespeare would be able to top this. They take a well known concept but completely made it new, and understandable. It takes concepts from all of life and brings it into this game. The love story and betrayal. You feel such sorrow and yet such love all at the same time for these people you've literally grown up with.
This is me winning the world series of uno. There is no greater competition and such mastery of the game as the world series. Who could ever forget such a memorable scene such as when you won your first uno game?
So really i think all of gaming has UNO to thank for even bringing gaming to the world. I think when 2012 comes and we all die, martians will look back at our history and see that UNO was the champ and will forever will be
