dayum very impresive reviews so far... awesome. i think ill have to bump up uncharted and uncharted 2 in my priority list. (havent played U1!!)this looks like the real deal.
Just wondering what happened to the "above average" article which was 310° and on the front page and all of a sudden its afailed article. I guess someone is scuuuured of this game.
LOL, everyone is already bringing up MW2, what does that have to do with anything? Must be afraid of it...You should WANT it to be great. Just because a game isn't exclusive doesn't mean it cant be GOTY
Sometimes I find mindblowing that PS3 exclusive games need to be beyond anything else, beyond perfection to achieve a good score, and then we still are unsure of EDGE and some other PS3 haters reviews.
They dropped the score by .5 because there wasn't a tutorial for stealth, which is pretty self explanatory... Don't be seen! From the video review it looks like they just chickened out of giving it a 10, or they gave halo odst a 10 and didn't want this 10 to take away from it. Either way this is better than resistance 2 and gears 2.
they gave uncharted 1 a 9.1 your telling me with better graphics better story multiplayer and co-op they cant give it a 10 all that extra and it only gets 4 points higher. thats bull$hit ign whats wrong? you cant give a ps3 game a ten?!!!!!!! uncharted 1 review http://ps3.ign.com/articles...
They said the only problem is an early stealth level. Oh well, perfect is boring right? Everything needs a flaw or weakness. Not that this is significant in anyway.
Everyone needs to buy this.
edit: I think I just quoted a line from Metal Gear Solid 1.
"They dropped the score by .5 because there wasn't a tutorial for stealth, which is pretty self explanatory... Don't be seen! From the video review it looks like they just chickened out of giving it a 10"
IGN is playing fanboy games.
These are the clowns who gave Killzone 2 a 9.5/10 for graphics...
WOOHOOO, like I needed a review in the first place!!!
Relax guys, its not like were not gunna buy it cause it didn't get a 10(especially since none of us have played the full game yet). Idk about u guys, but I don't need a number assigned by ONE PERSON to tell me what ta buy.
WRONG! Ok maybe not the full game but i'm sure lots of people including myself have played or are still playing the beta and if other crappier games can get a 10 why shouldn't this one. Haters hate, Players play beyond. (that last part was not directed at you Calis jus wanted to say it)
Notice how U2's review came out 3 WEEKS before the game is released but ODST's is coming out 3 DAYS before release due to Bungie's strict review embargo. Shows you how confident ND and Bungie are in their games ;)
9.5 Presentation Fantastic cutscenes tell a very good if not perfect story.
10 Graphics Absolutely the best of the best these days. Your jaw will drop.
9.5 Sound Great weapon effects, fantastic voice acting and a mostly brilliant (though sometimes overdone) soundtrack.
9.5 Gameplay Great gunplay, stealth works very well (mostly), the puzzles are rewarding and, maybe even best of all, a killer online component.
9.5 Lasting Appeal The game is give or take about 10 hours in length, which feels right, but then there's the multiplayer. Yes, you will be hooked. -
Of course since ODST won't be seeing those scores, the 360 fanboys will start touting "TeH SaLzeZ!!!"
EDGE's U2 review will be coming around soon so they can lower their credibility even more...
GameStop better be doing a midnight launch! I still can't believe they didn't do one for MGS4! So biased...
MW2 looks meh so I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied with U2 and R&C! I'm just happy I get the choice of more than just MW2 ;)
EDIT: Here come the stealth disagrees and the trolls! Someone's jealous :'(
I want to make an appeal to ALL PS3 owners who are reading this. Please buy this game. Support Naughty Dogs and Sony like you have never done before. Spread the word, tell your friends, relatives and even strangers on internet or gamers in BestBuy, GameStop, Walmart etc stores looking at the game's demo. Tell them that this has to be one of the greatest games ever and if they own a PS3, they should defenitely pick up this title WITHOUT having any doubt related to this game's quality. If they don't own a PS3, this game alone deserve any gamer's attention. If we gamers do not support such developers then you can bet your ass that they will stop putting this kind of an effort in their future games. Support developers who make these AAAAA quality games regardless the platform. Be it PS3 or 360. Just make sure you are spending your hard earned money on games that truely deserve it and UNCHARTED 2 is without a doubt one of those games and by all means should be on the top of your MUST OWN GAMES list.
Naughty Dogs, you have done an AMAZING job and I will support Uncharted 2 from all my heart and my wallet. Keep up the great work. It is guys like you who make a difference in video games entertainment. Keep the awesome work up!
IMO the scoring system of many major review sites has gotten to the point where their numbering system is totally irrelevant. Scores of 9.5-10 are being handed out like candy, which totally dilutes the scoring of top-tier games. I really feel like we need to start using 5 as the average again, anything higher starts to creep up in quality.
9-10 should be reserved for the absolute cream of the crop (which is obviously objective), and should remain as consistent as possible (a hard task given the various reviewers at a single establishment).
Myself, I am considerably harder on games than many commercial reviewers. Take Killzone 2 for example, I say that deserves about an 7.5/10, another smash hit Halo 3...maybe a 7/10. Gears 2 6/10 (online was terrible) and Uncharted 1 about an 8.2.
People might think that I'm being harsh (they might be justified in saying that), but I'm actually using the complete scale of 1 to 10 as it was intended.
Although I wouldn't be as harsh, getting 9s is commonplace now and there are at least 20 games per year getting 9s, it devalues the system, although I would add a point or so to each of your scores there :)
"WRONG! Ok maybe not the full game but i'm sure lots of people including myself have played or are still playing the beta and if other crappier games can get a 10 why shouldn't this one."
A beta is just that, a beta. It still doesn't give enough information for people to be claiming it is their game of the year when they have played probably 1/30th of the game.
LMAO!!... I guessed the score EXACTLY!! 9.5.... This is the lowest of the low I have ever seen.
To give this game one point higher than SHADOW COMPLEX shows the level IGN will stoop to ensure MS doesnt present backlash with their advertisement dollars..
This type of journalism is not welcome in gaming today.
I played U2 beta. The beta alone presents something that no other game has achieved this far. I can only imagine the final version. Regardless it makes any 360 game look like Xbox1...
KUDOS TO SONY! Keep pushing through all this shady backdoor falsities that will eventually come to bite these journalists in the ARSSSSSSS!!
Anyone see that video? It was one of the best videos of all time!
No but really, Uncharted 2 is amazing. I haven't played that and I can make that statement and not sound crazy. Sony gives me full AAA games for retail price while some companies release DLC for full retail price.
i thought this was the actual review >.<, the video is just comparing Uncharted 1 and 2.
EDIT: my bad, you guys are right. I think Uncharted 2 already surpassed Indiana Jones 4 and probably 5 in terms of story. It's easily one of the best story telling games this gen packed with action and solid gameplay.
there is NO way mw2 DESERVES a 9.4, but it will get it regardless 'cause it's too 'huge' to fail. IGN will never risk the wrath of the COD community from both sides
poor xbots all they have is a expansion flop and a subpar racing game.. when we get games like this one, R&C, demons soul and GT5.. along with KZ2 and infamous that were true A quality games as well
what was the last good game you xbots played? oh thats right gears 2 like a year ago LMAO
@DasBunker. You should really buy the first Uncharted! It's got one of the best stories in gaming. I traded my copy in but couldn't resist buying it again. You're missing out on a great game plus the price it's at now is well worth the money you'll spend.
So Eurogamer, Edge, Joystick and Kotaku may be up to their old tricks again. But UnRivalled 2 is simply a class amongst itself.
Just watched the video review and WOW. Completely BLOWN away at how good the game looks. I got goosebumps when I heard the Uncharted themesong and seeing the new gameplay.
This game is Game of the Year without any doubt. The lush environment, the awesome graphics, the textures, the details, the gameplay, the moves and the stealth, the shooting, the puzzles, the themesongs and soundtracks, the hollywood quality script and story, the massive online, the 3D gameplay (the levels online will be true 3D because you can climb, hide and do stealth). This game is a class of its own.
I find it funny that they posted up this review a month before the game comes out, when no official halo reviews come up til this weekend. I think ND is completely confident in what they have here, while bungie know they won't get good reviews so they're waitin to have reviews out so close to release so a lot of people don't see what a crap game it's really gonna be
I'm on my laptop which for some reason can't stream video.. is there a score?
truly mindblowing
9.5
Win.
I think we have a winner.

EDIT 2: and naw District 9 was solid.
