[QUOTE="2beers_in_hand"][QUOTE="mitu123"] OMG, it has the same flaw that the original Uncharted had: Firefights that dragged! I hated that and hopefully there's less of it since it bored me sometimes and got tedious.:evil:

Didn't Gamespot bash the original for having that?

I do love the co-op though since it's desgined so well.:) I'm going to be playing it for a long time.

He won't knock it for being hard. He is a ninja gaiden fan for one :? He will knock the game for being punishing. For instance he is pointed out time and time again that while NG 1 was hard, it was always extremely satisfying and rarely entered cheap territory. Where as Ninja Gaiden 2 wasn't hard, it was punishing hard and just cheap. jg4xchamp

I can see it selling well with the 6 to 12 demograph.

I would go have to go with quitters and cheaters. When somebody sends you a letter its just funny as hell. Quitters suck because if the don't get off to a good start the will usually just leave the game. Leaving your team unbalanced, but as a side not I love a come from the behind win. And cheaters just plain blow.

SW will be insufferable if U2 gets a 10. Actually, SW is going to be insufferable no matter what. If it gets a 9.5, cows are going to complain that GS didn't want it to outscore Halo 3 and invented some reason to dock it .5. If it gets a 9, lemmings are going to be screaming "MINI FLOP" and cows are going to be yelling about GS accepting money from MSpyromaniac223

Grenade launchers need to be taken out. And snipers need to have a slower rate of fire. That is allpyromaniac223
