"Given all that Uncharted 2 has to offer, even the weakness I've detailed above only serve to pull the score down from ten to nine.

Uncharted 2 is still one of the best, most impressive and seamless adventure games ever. "

Good stuff

Why do you only comment when this game gets below a 10/10 or 9.5/10?

I find that so weird, but hey I'm sure you have your reason however weird it may be.

hope you are not stealth trolling on the sly...but...why would you do that?

Man I'm tripping

He's trying to bait people into complaining about the score so he can go "OMG a 9 is a great score! You guy are so weird!"

I knew it was something like that... He likes to play mind games...

He got me with it... Or I was just thinking to hard into it.

"You may actually find yourself wandering around confused in a given section unsure how to make the next move. "

I believe that's the challenge in the game. Boomtown apparently expects a very straightforward, non-confusing game. And since they had trouble at some points in the story, they lowered the score by a full point. Good logic, Boomtown

I thought that was odd like when OPM knocked a point off KZ2 for bein a bit too hard at the end. I mean, WTF? Still, it looks like nearly everyone is loving U2 and that's the main thing and points to it being something truly memorable too.

No name sites are giving this a less than perfect score in order to gain hits. Don't give them hits.

It's probably just their review scoring policy. They probably only do full numbers.
