This is the saddest, sack of shit thread this site has had in a long time. Congrats Soriku. The Ubisoft boycott has competition.
Anyhoos, just to attempt to put an end to this:
Uncharted received an 89 from Gametrailers and the sequel got a 93. Gears of War got a 91 from Gametrailers and the sequel got a 95. In both cases, the sequels got a 4% increase even without innovating. Is that fair enough?
Regarding GTA IV and Halo 3, both were the first in the series this gen, so everything had a nice coat of polish on it, and that counts for something. Both Gears and Uncharted are on their second games this gen, and the standards to differentiate are higher for both. It seems regardless of the speech used, Gametrailers has treated both fairly equally, even though it was surely accidental.
I think the real problem isn't that they worded their explanation poorly, it's that they had to provide an explanation in the first place just because complete morons felt the need to complain about a 9.3. You, including those bitching in this thread, are the problem with the review system.

Wrong.
The problem with the review system is lack of consistancy. Uncharted 2 has proven to be a better game than many games that they scored higher than it.
Case in point, a 9.5 is better than a 9.3
The problem is that uncharted 2, being the greatest game of this generation, will not the the credit it deserves (99 on metacritic) because of sites like game trailers and game daily who have clearly been either A) Paid to review lower, or B) Simply jealous.

Guys, can you realize no review site has 'consistancy'. They all are reviewing games based on their own systems and not only that, on their own bias. Yes, their judging based on opinions. Which is the big problem you are having in this thread. You don't like that their opinion isn't that, to quote you, 'Uncharted 2 is the greatest game of this generation'. And you're just going to have to face the facts that not everyone agrees with that. And that reviewers are not machines who only judge games based on a 5 point system with no bias.
I would have thought after the hundreds of stupid IGN reviews we get posted on this site you would have figured this out by now. But nw you're throwing an even bigger stink over a GameTrailers review. And one that's a 9.3 one at that. Where's all the complaining whenever a Wii or DS game gets a 8.2 for being 'too innovative'? Give me a break, sit down and enjoy your game that will probably sell 4 million.
And GameTrailers, out of ALL the sites, is one of the few that doesn't get paid for reviews. If they did, why would they have given past games like FFXII or Halo 3 or MGSIV lower scores than other sites? If you want to throw that accusation, go throw it at all those sites you're trying to praise for upscoring the game.
