Alright since ive seen alot of people her praising the game, and seeing as im on the 25th chapter (saving it for tomorrow, dragging out the story makes it funner imo) ive definatley come to the conclusion it was a good game. Yes, a good game. As everyone already knows, its absolutley nothign revolutionary. it does everything, but no better than any other game. Prince of Persia had better wall scalings and platforming. Mgs had nicer stealth attacks. Bourne Supremacy had cooler fist to fist quicktime events. And the shooting is basically a blend of gears of war and mgs. All in all, if u stripped off the story, this game would be really nothing more than 8.0 material. Its just not that good of a game. The Story is the ONLY and i repeat ONLY reason i even kept playing this game. On normal, there were som frustrating glitches, and some parts where it was really just unclear where to go. Other times, the way to go was so obvious, but unresponsive or complicated manuevers made me oblvious to them for another 5-10 minutes wasted. The checkpoint system rocked, as it really took frustration out. And one of the worst things, is how old the shooting scenarios have gotten. Hiding behidn boxes for 10 minutes swithcing off as hordes of enemies snipe at you get TERRIBLY boring. And i mean VERY boring. Even though its a fair challenge sometimes, and a joke others, its never fun. Stealthing around is actually fun. I had more fun in MGS easy mode running and gunning through it liek an action game, then i did with this action game which was meant to be an action game. The scaling got really annoying, and the puzzles were pretty shallow- although they looked very elaborate.
I really cant see myself replaying this, but i could see myself rewatching all the cutscenes, and playing the hell out of the multiplayer. If your not into stories, i say avoid this game. If your just looking for multiplayer, you should also avoid it. ive spent roughly under 10 hours, my counter says 10:44 ish, but i paused and left the house for an hour and a half today (didnt know that time paused in cutscenes count).
its 8-9 matieral, no where above 9.5

Agreed. But do any of those games blend all of the platforming, shooting, stealth, fist fights together so well along with an excellent pace? I think that's what makes Uncharted 2 so awesome
