But its Machina's opinion and he's usually harsh with reviews. |
I don't know, I have a few issues with the too low statements (both the overall and gameplay):
- It got an overall 9.2, that's a really high score.
- Uncharted 2 is better than Uncharted (which I believe I put in the high 8's) but it still has its fair share of problems, like:
- Camera-- the tighter the space, the hairier the camera. If this were a once or twice thing, I could easily ignore it, but this has been a constant nitpick throughout the whole game.
- Not polished-- I've experienced more bugs in my about half playthrough than my three play throughs of Uncharted 1.
- Stealth -- while the much needed improvement on melee was added and appreciated, the stealth is a joke
- Cover -- cover isn't polished as in it's easy to get stuck on it and not everywhere you'd expect to be able to take cover lets you take cover
- Odd little puzzles or situations. Last night I played the part where you jump onto a sign so you can shoot the boards on the other side of a door and I tried for a good 5 minutes to jump to the other side of the door to shoot the boards because it looked like there was a clear path to that door. Instead, I couldn't jump on any platform that looked like it leads to that door and I couldn't drop down from the sign so I thought it was actually a bug until a hint finally popped up. There are little examples like that just littered throughout the game of not well thought out situations.
- Stupid mini-bosses-- Both times you fight the helicopter it drags out too long (the first one is insane since you have to hit it like 10 times) and the guy at the end of the train is just stupid.
Don't get me wrong, I love the game and think it deserves a very solid 9 and maybe even a 9.1 so far (and I'm only on chapter 15) but it without a doubt has its fair share of problems and I can easily understand the 8.5 in gameplay.
