9.5 Presentation
Fantastic cutscenes tell a very good if not perfect story.
10 Graphics
Absolutely the best of the best these days. Your jaw will drop.

9.5 Sound
Great weapon effects, fantastic voice acting and a mostly brilliant (though sometimes overdone) soundtrack.
9.5 Gameplay
Great gunplay, stealth works very well (mostly), the puzzles are rewarding and, maybe even best of all, a killer online component.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
The game is give or take about 10 hours in length, which feels right, but then there's the multiplayer. Yes, you will be hooked.
9.5
Incredible OVERALL

ALSO READ THIS.....

look at what they said in the written review!!!!

"It's impossible to talk about Uncharted 2 without mentioning its visuals. I've already touched on the fantastic presentation in the cutscenes, but there are some scenes that you'll play in that will have your jaw on the floor. The world is packed with bits of detail that do nothing for gameplay, but do a lot to draw you into the world and make you feel like this is a real place. The texture detail is astounding, the amount of random stuff everywhere is mind boggling, the lighting is some of the best we've ever seen and the overall art direction is phenomenal. And of course, let me not forget to mention the amazing animation, killer explosions and pretty much every other pixel on the screen."

WHOOOAAHHH

ps, it should have been a 15!!!

Same here.Crysis made my jaw drop but while Uncharted 2 looks amazing it probably won't make my jaw drop.

That doesn't mean that game has to fill up system wars, keep it in the PS3 forums.

Yeah, but I can't really see GS giving out another 10, But I may be mistaken. Both would be pretty amusing. But this will probably get a boring 9.

Uncharted2 looks amazing! some upgrades to the engine- Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, deferred rendering, cloud computing, paralax mapping, high dynamic range tonemapping, per object motion blur, cascade shadows, sub surface scattering simulation.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Uncharted 1, and now this......please someone tell me again how exactly the 360 and PS3 are equal in power. Can't wait to hear the whole "but multiplats are superior on 360" song again, to which I say Batman AA and NFS Shift say "Hi! Welcome to 2009!"

This sounded great:) IGN - It's kind of amazing to say this, but the actual gameplay oftentimes looks better than the cutscenes. This is truly one of the best looking games that I've ever seen, and you could easily argue that it's the best overall on the PlayStation 3

Well, from my pc only gaming standards it will surely not make me "drop my jaw".

But considering the so 2005 guts of the ps3, I guess, good job in squishing every single drop of juice of them, in a good way :)

Btw, new console graphics king.

I am almost sure that was the case, the game was no way a 10 and yet its like the 2nd or 3rd highest rated game of all time on gamerankings. :?

But then we may never know the truth behind that event.

The same thing happened when crysis was released. Personally I'm not looking at this game just for the visuals either, so just give it some time and the rage will subside.

Very nice review. I never expected anything below 9.0 on any site. Gamespot review will be like 9.0-9.5.

I'm hyping it as AAAA GOTY. Multiplayer alone is 9.0 (I played it). Then again... I'm an Uncharted Fanboy :D (There's a difference between a game fanboy and a console fanboy people)

It would be funny to see all the cows owned. But seriously? A 9.5 on lasting apeal, just because of multiplayer? It should have been something like an 8.0 or 8.5.
