No doubt this will be one of the best games of the yr.

LarVanian6108d ago

I'd say one of the best this gen.

AntoineDcoolette6108d ago

I felt the first Uncharted was rather average with the only thing going for it being the high production values.

I have high hopes for Uncharted 2 though since they are making improvements in every category I had a complaint about like a lack of variety in environments and underwhelming combat, plus there's multiplayer : )

jammy_706108d ago

will get 9.4 on meta, if its better than the 1st game, it will be 1 of the best games of all time!!!!!

MattyF6108d ago

The game should be great. One of the biggest games of the year.

Serjikal_Strike6108d ago

How bout the best game this year...GOTY no doubt!

ATY6108d ago

"will get 9.4 on meta"

Most of the gaming review sites have fired or purged the Xbox fans who were worming their way into 'reviewing' PS3 exclusives and their inevitable '7/10 - didn't live up to teh hype' trashings.

There are still Edge, Eurogamer, and GamesRadar that are still cesspools of anti-Sony hate who think it is still 2006/7.

But sites like 1Up have fired most of the hardcore anti-Sony/PS3 people and many of them got hired away to Microsoft. GameSpot has gotten massively better after Gerstmann got fired.

SnuggleBandit6108d ago (Edited 6108d ago )

ya i hope egde will get their heads out of their A$$es for this one...cuz its looking like this game definitely deserves AT LEAST a 9/10 from anywhwere...no matter how big of a fanboy site

mal_tez926108d ago

If not for this generation, then of all time. I've never had so much fun playing a game before, and I don't think Ive played any other game 26 times without getting bored before either. Let's hope the sequel is as good!

Does anyone know when we will start seeing reviews?

cmrbe6108d ago

Lack of variety of environment?

Boat, lush and vibrant jungle,Old inca ruins, abandon fort, abandon Spanish colony, Old monastery, old german U-Boat facility, undergorund catecombs not varied enough, freight container boat not varied enough?.

Combat similar to Gears of War shooting/cover mechanics but with combo melee, more fluid and faster movement, platforming and stealth kills underwhelming?

Are you sure you played Uncharted?.

randomwiz6108d ago (Edited 6108d ago )

This game's going to get MGS4 and GTA IV like scores

himdeel6108d ago (Edited 6108d ago )

...this is great, BUT I just don't want to see reviews for this game an entire month before the game drops like it was with Killzone 2. I felt like I was reading reviews for two months prior to that games release and it was just weird.

Anyway I'm very excited and look forward to another excited story and getting to know Nathan Drake :) a little bit better.

bnaked6108d ago

One of the best games of all time? The best action adventure of all time? THE best Game of all time?

Ok, nobody knows, but i can tell you: Uncharted 2 HAS the potential to achieve one of these titles..

ATY6108d ago

"Combat similar to Gears of War"

Wut?

Combat similar to Kill.switch. The game Gears of War copied.

I_am_rushin6108d ago

Good.

That means no delays. Not that I expected any.

umair_s516108d ago

Wasn't a fan of the first one. But this one is looking amazing. Will definitely buy this

Microsoft Xbox 3606108d ago

Uncharted is GOTY 2009. No doubt about that.

AntoineDcoolette6108d ago

I suppose I'm not as easily impressed as you are = / I got bored of all the jungle, all the ruins and colonial infrastructure looked the same... you really gonna consider the boat from the first 5 minutes a unique environment? The combat pretty much boiled down to cover, shoot, cover, fall back to more secure position, shoot, punch random mercenary who zergs you, shoot again, more cover and some cheesy vehicle segments (don't really have complaints about the platforming). And the stealth elements? They were virtually non existent and every time you manage to pull a 'stealth' kill its pretty much a fluke. The AI goons pretty much had eyes in the back of their heads.

BTW I got the platinum trophy and I slowly grew to appreciate it more on the harder difficulties (normal certainly isn't the true way to experience the game). It was well polished but just didn't offer anything original, unique, or memorable in the game play or story.

Greywulf6108d ago (Edited 6108d ago )

Edge 7
Eurogamer 7
GamesRadar 7
Teletext 6(or 7)

Thank god metacritic counts them :)

"The combat pretty much boiled down to cover, shoot, cover, fall back to more secure position, shoot, punch random mercenary who zergs you, shoot again, more cover and some cheesy vehicle segments" = Every 360 game ever made.

bnaked6108d ago

@AntoineDcoolette

People with your opinion are rare..

jack_burt0n6108d ago

Uncharted managed to reach a level of playability and immersion that would make miyamoto proud, add some truly lovable characters and the definitive cover third person shooting mechanics as hailed by cliffy b with an adventure setting that killed lara croft dead.

Uncharted is a masterpiece.

badz1496108d ago

I'm not gonna question your preference in games but if Uncharted is "average" for you, what game do you define as "good" or even "great"?

but seriously the;

"lack of variety in environments and underwhelming combat"

really made me chuckle a little bit. and;

"The combat pretty much boiled down to cover, shoot, cover, fall back to more secure position, shoot, punch random mercenary who zergs you, shoot again, more cover and some cheesy vehicle segments"

what the hell else do you expect from a TPS game? chainsaw maybe? if that's the case, go play gears instead! plus, Uncharted is not applying the generic 1-hit melee kill like every other game out there which made the melee combo possible and unheard of in any other TPS games!(at least I've never seen any) which is awesome!

"And the stealth elements? They were virtually non existent and every time you manage to pull a 'stealth' kill its pretty much a fluke"

since when was Uncharted a "stealth" game? plus, most of the time, you encounter the enemies face-on which is making the stealth arguments kinda moot! but when you're in cover during the encounters, the AIs won't be noticing until you burst your 1st shot!

bpac1234567896108d ago

Aren't you guys getting ahead of yourselves. The game hasn't released yet and none of you have completed it. Your setting standards for the game that are almost impossible for it to meet. such as, "game of the decade" and "greatest game of all time." MGS4 was another title that received this sort of hype and even though it is one of my favorite games of all time, it fell short of being the "greatest game of all time." Don't get me wrong I'm just as excited for U2 as everyone else but, I think we should wait until we get uncharted in our hands otherwise your only guaranteeing yourselves disappointment.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake571d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo571d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot571d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno571d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake571d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77571d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack571d ago (Edited 571d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation571d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72571d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
