It's a slightly overhyped, kinda forgettable game that has amazing graphics, and overall, I'd give it a 9/10. You've got to remember, exclusives are gonna be overhyped, always, and any game that innovates as little as Uncharted 2 does, probably isn't going to be many people's "best game of all time" no matter how good it is.

That said, the game oozes quality in design, and technical expertise. It's the Avatar of videogames. It's a popcorn flick....but it's the ULTIMATE popcorn flick....still doesn't make it comparable to Godfather II, but remember, popcorn flicks are the most popular films, so you are going against the tide when you claim dissapointment. Most people want exactly what this game has to offer, and you, like myself, are probably in a niche of gamers who prefer games like Radiant Dawn and Valkyria Chronicles, to titles like Galaxy 2 and Uncharted 2.

I love playing those niche games too, but I must say I need a solid action game here and there and both the Uncharted's have delievered exactly what I asked for, the sequel improving the formula to make the game that much more enjoyable.

Are you seriously gonna waste your time arguing with this guy? If you look at his posts EVERYTHING Nintendo, actually more specifically EVERYTHING Miyamoto is the second coming of Christ and nothing else compares. Just don't waste your time, we all know the quality in ALL aspects Uncharted 2 offers and the improvements it made vs pt. 1. It's not Zelda, it's not Mario nor Metroid so don't bother arguing with him. On a side note, the multiplayer felt just right, although I do wish they changed the buttons between cover and rolling.

God forbid someone has a differing opinion. That said, I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, and one does not need to be to respect Miyamoto....



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Now, i give you overhyped...

Grand Theft Auto 4
Sold Really Well
Metacritic Review Scores - 98 (64 Reviews)
Metacritic User Reviews - 74 (796 Votes)

User reviews on Meta don't mean anything; although I agree GTA4 was over-rated.

I wouldn't say Uncharted 2 was overhyped at all. Its one of the only games that justifies its hype.

All your hype made me enjoy it a lot less. Thanks.

It wasn't such a massive leap over U1 as many proclaim - I would know, I played them both back to back.

Finally had the chance to play this game, gotta say, very unimpressive so far. Maybe it was all the 'OMG U2 IS THE BEST GAME EVERZ!!!11!1' in this forum that did it for me, but it's very much the same game as U1 with some graphics improvement, and a smoother story.

I also found it harder to suspend my disbelief. In U1, there were no scenes where I was thinking 'Wow, talk about being unrealistically lucky' and yet I must have thought that at least 15 times last night (I'm only on chapter 7 btw). It's just stupidly insane how he survives all this shit, he's superhuman. It really ruins the experience for me at times.

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely enjoying it, but it seems like a very normal game experience so far, nothing earth-shattering like so many made it out to be.

@Dr.Grass, yeah I may be victim of the same thing. I kinda played them back-to-back as well (finished U1 about a month ago).

We are the unlucky ones.

overhyped compare to demon souls yeah but over all its just standard hype compare to other bigger titles.

If i had to chose between playing uc2 or mgs4, i'd play uc2 first, then play uc2 again and after that play ff13 :)

aka i'm not a fan of mgs4, it's not bad, bad also not good. UC2 is, what i hoped it would be.
