Someone's mad that their favorite game didn't get praised enough last year. If he actually paid attention to the game he'd realize almost every complaint he had was wrong. Douche.

agree...to some degree

i wanted the platnium trophy

its great but its not the best made in the last 10yrs like many say it is to me its a average 8-8.5 campaign

Come on guys, when a game wins over 100 GOTY awards, there's bound to be haters/idiots who want to call the gameplay generic, story crap, action sequences shallow, controls broken, overrated BLAH BLAH BLAH etc.

This 'writing piece' (although that might be a disservice to other writing pieces) simply reinforces the fact that haters gonna hate.

How many threads is this from you now about U:2 sucking. Get over it already, everyone knows how you feel about it.

LOL this!!!

Ok. That's your opinion. Uncharted 2 is a great game, but yes, for the 15 hours it gave you about playing, I rushed to get quickly to the cutscenes. The gameplay isn't in itself something really awesome, it's just generic gunfights. The graphics and the setting made this game great, not the gameplay.

I think people forget how vital actually playing* the game is to the cinematic feel. You move through the campaign and get thrown into the most advanced and amazing set pieces ever created, along with superbly cinematic camera angles and possibly a character or 2 to share intelligent and funny dialog with.

Take the train sequence for instance. The sheer detail in... well, EVERYTHING creates a truly "WOW" moment. Going forward, you feel the bumps of an unstable object moving through the jungle and into the Himalayas. Around the train is a lush environment reinforced with some of the best graphical detail this side of Crysis. From the superb jumping animations, to the slowdowns Drake faces in a stealth situation, to the challenge of trying to get to that damn Chloe, to having the ability to utilize different approves and strategies, to the too of 2 two, the train sequence alone creates a cinematic feel in its own right.

Many moments in Uncharted 2 simply can't be created with mere cut scenes... and if that's all that kept you playing... then perhaps the game wasn't for you...

So can we please stop hating on the game? BHR-3, you have "I Hate Uncharted 2's Campaign A lot!" in your sig. I mean seriously dude...

I enjoyed Uncharted 2, but I think the graphics have made people think it's better then it really is.

The cutscenes were great, short, helpped to tell the story, and served another main purpose...something to watch while it's loading the next area, so you never see a loading screen.
