Seeing as the debate rages on I'll throw in my two cents worth to contribute to the weight of evidence. I know it's blasphemy to speak against the great and almighty Wiki but Uncharted isn't a platformer.

Game genres are determined by the predominate gameplay mechanic but are not defined by the mechanics that may appear in parts of the game.

Buster Busts Loose was a great platformer back in the SNES days. A genuine 90%+ game where 1/6 of the entire game time was a spent playing football. Should it be called a sports or have been allowed to be nominated in the best sports game category for GOTY?

If Uncharted wasn't nominated as a best platformer in GOTY by any of the major publications then it isn't a platformer.

Quote hsrob Uncharted isn't a platformer.
i didn't think it was. i see it as more of a adventure shooter. so is Lara Croft: Tomb Raider a plat former.

It's in Nintendo's DNA, so yeah Nintendo.

Rayman 1-2 alone alone likely puts them i the top 10 all time imo.  Man, I'd kill for a REAL Rayman 4. :/

Uncharted, Tomb Raider, and Prince of Persia are platformers?

You learn something new every day.

Don't forget about Ico and Shadow of Collossus too. (see page 1) I bet you didn't know that either.

Platformer is a game where it revolves around jumping from platform to platform. Uncharted has locations where its clearly a platformer, but its so much more, so i wouldn't call it a platformer.

The old Ratchet and Clanks where definitely platformers, but today it feels more like a shooter than a platformer. Is Contra a platformer? No it is a shooter, yet it has some jumps, so thats why Ratchet and Clank aren't platformers anymore. The first Jak and Daxter is definitely a platformer, the other 2 are platformers, but they are also open world games and shooters. Is Crackdown a platformer?

Ico is a puzzle game, it has some platforming to i know, but so does Zelda. Shadow of the Colossus is definitely not a platformer. LBP is a platformer, but if you take out the level customization it really isn't a good game, so its not the platforming that makes it great but rather the rest.

Sony platformers: Crash, Some Ratchets not all and Jak 1.

Holy Shit!  A Buster Busts Loose reference!

*High Five*

I am ashamed to say I had almost forgotten about this gem until it was brought up in another thread a few weeks ago, probably by you ;)

No, wasn't me.

But I am one of only 33 people who own the game on this site.
