I enjoyed Uncharted 2's campaign, that's all that matters.

a game doesnt need to be played every second its "played"

if you're in a 3some, you don't needa touch the hunnies every second. its nice to watch for a little too.

u2>u1 in all aspects.

I think you are a bit overboard with your definition of a gamer.

Some gamers want to press a button and keep spraying bullets where there's no challenge, aside from killing heaps upon heaps of enemies (serious sam). Others want to continually click a button to kill enemies (diablo). Others will love the way the story is told and they are able to be a part of a grand scheme (MGS 4).

Who are you to say they are not gamers? Everyone has a different reaction and a different approach to gaming. Being able to see a wonderful spectacle after running, shooting, badmouthing, jumping several scenes is for some of us a wonderful reward for what we've just done.

Again, it seems like a "what I say goes, if you don't agree, you're stupid"...

My only problems with Uncharted 2 is that it's extremely easy (on hard mode) and linear but this is a great game.

Easy gold trophy in my opinion...

And sorry, but I strongly disagree with most (if not 100%) of the bolded parts. This is an absurd:
-"the gameplay isn't anything to write home about and that the storytelling isn't quite there"
-"I'd like Naughty Dog to learn that interactive storytelling is the future with the technology we have now,"
-" I felt like I was going through the motions of the generic gameplay just to get to those cinematic moments."

The battle system is awesome (and unique), the character animation is simply the best (you will feel that the character is really tired), there is nothing generic about the gameplay. The storytelling is well done (cutscenes, atmosphere, characters, voiceacting etc).

I have to admit, I almost finished Uncharted 2 and I don't like it because of the difficulty and the linearity, but it's not because the game is bad, it's because it's not for me. This is an incredible game (and experience), Uncharted 2 deserves those scores.

if you feel that U2 packs too much cinematic, dont play MGS4, Mass Effect 2 or Valkyria Chronicles. All of them are games that has been recognized to bring one hell of a story and is loved by many. Maybe its just that singleplayer isnt your cup of tea.. or that you'd rather prefer hack and slash games. Or Super Mario.

So...... You didn't like the game but you played through it twice? That's like Eating all of a steak and sending back an empty plate and trying not to pay for it because you didn't like how it was cooked. Dude You know it's a great game. It got High marks even from competing camps. I think you just wanted to add your 2 cents. Well you did and the game is still great.

Hey, I didnt like MGS4, it had way too many cutscenes, but admittedly, the game wasnt for me. I didnt play the game down for its amazing achievements, both in terms of game play and technical qualities.

Uncharted 2 raised the bar above the 1st Uncharted in every single way. it took what the 1st had and raised the bar twice as high.The combat and shoot outs were less linear, there were more set pieces, more locations, more variety, better story telling, better atmosphere and more options on how to play (mp, co-op).

If you dont like the game, fair enough, you deserve to have an opinion, but you cannot speak for everyone or call people out by saying they are not gamers if they do not agree with you. I am sure you will find most people here probably dont, just the same as if i was to make a thread saying MGS4 isnt all so great cuz i said so and all you who disagree are not gamers.

Dude, I don't know who polluted your mind, but Uncharted 2's campaign was absolutely incredible. It certainly wasn't predictable. That's why you have to generally skim reviews without taking everything to heart. It helps to play games and review them with based on your own logic and judgment not what somebody else said.

U2 won almost all GOTY because of it, so hell no!!

same here made another thread about it the 1st one wasnt like that thats why i like the 1st more even on crushing U2 wasnt as hard as U1 was on hard

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=97989

 

i think it derseves a 9 maybe 9.2 mainly b/c of the MP no higher than that

 

to all others i never said the game is no good ive posted reasons why i think its just a average game in this thread and the one above why dont u all post reasons why its so good b/c i cant

is it b/c 40% of the 10-12 hr game is linear platforming that was ok 1st play through but made me sleep wen i played it the 2nd time i can go play mario or something if i wanted that

or was it that 90% of the game u had AI partners following you around causing me to disconnect and loose feel of the atmosphere and danger  much like re5 did

or could it be that in the areas that had many enemies (which there where few) there was always a mounted machine gun or RPG or nade launcher causing you to clear out the area in seconds making the gameplay less fun taking away the challenge that the 1st one had
