I wanna buy it now! I've only seen one or two other games being rated so high by so many reviewers.

GOTY 2009? I say, YES.

X_iGame_X5321d ago

Might not be GOTY but its a good game.

PirateThom5321d ago

After completing it earlier, I definitely think it's GOTY. Nothing comes close to it.

I also heard "Kitty Got Wet" which made me happy.

Madusha5321d ago

@X_iGame_X: The word "good" shouldn't be used to describe Uncharted 2.

A new word has to be made to describe how amazing this game really is.

WTF is IGN talking about?!

I just got the game today and beat the first stealth level on my first try! IGN said the game didn't explain stealth gameplay well enough in the beginning which caused them to mess up a lot WTF?! It was extremely easy to understand the stealth mechanic; stay out of the enemies line-of-sight and melee them from behind. What's hard about that?! It's not like you have to carefully watch how well you blend in with the environment, stay in the shadows and then run up to an enemy press a precise button combo.

IGN took away 0.5 points for a flaw that doesn't even exist.

X_iGame_X5321d ago

Lol we all know IGN, they just can't give a single game 10/10 unless the developer pays them a million dollars.

Bubble Buddy5321d ago (Edited 5321d ago )

Seriously I'm around Chapter 14 and I'm blown away. They improved everything in this sequel. Like wow, when my friends came over, they even treated it as a movie gasping at the plot twists, etc. :P, Seriously, GOTY !

EDIT: Yeah like wtf IGN, the first stealth gameplay was simple (even on hard). No complaints about this game except maybe it's almost ending :(, but then I got co-op, crushing level, AND online :D, I'll say it again and again; GOTY.

i remember some dimwit reviewer saying that the snow doesn't look good and that you can't leave footprints.

Pffff...what a load of bull, i don't think anyone with a pair of working eyes can deny that UC2 has the best looking snow right now. And really, what's up with spreading lies about not being able to leave footprints??

Obama5321d ago

UC2 is a much much better game than drakes fortune. I am just blown away by the level of details in the game..the ice cave, jungles, giant statues...and so on. I haven't seen a game with so much details.

saint_john_paul_ii5320d ago

They did that cause they are giving too many 10s away. MGS4 and GTAIV were the recent ones. So they nitpick.

its funny though cause GTAIV doesnt deserve a 10. that is the most over-rated game i've ever played.

saint_john_paul_ii5320d ago

Yea, thats gamedaily, the same guys that said MGS4 glass dont look so real,so they gave it a 8. Seriously who the Hell looks at glass bottles when im looking at the other important aspects of the environment? they're so dumb.

gta28005320d ago

I think it's more than safe to call this game 2009 GOTY. It's pretty much confirmed. Nothing that has come out so far goes anywhere near uncharted. I'll tell you one thing, the only game that seems to be GOTY material is Modern Warfare 2, and only because of the hype and fan base it has. All I know is that game better amaze me like Uncharted did. I highly doubt it will though. I've already experienced their engine, graphics and all that. All I'm expecting is the new story and the new features, so I'm not too hyped.

sikbeta5320d ago

This game is definitively GOTY, It has to be that way, this is not fanboysm forget about that for just one minute, You have to buy this game, you'll enjoy non stop, awesome from the begging to the end

Still waiting to here if Uncharted 2 has sold a Million well i guess not.......I'll ask again in a month or 2.

Madusha5321d ago

Lol? you watch it raise to a billion sales.

Madusha5321d ago

http://www.n4g.com/industry... - Uncharted 2 sells over 300,000 on day one in America

Rev Jesse Custer5321d ago (Edited 5321d ago )

sales are not a reflection of greatness! Uncharted 2 will sell millions of copies, and even if it didn't it would still be far more impressive than anything on xbox this year.

EDIT: since your name is metalgearrising I should point out that this game is also on PS3. Losing faith in xbox exclusive games after Ps3 released UNCHARTED 2 are ya?

Bubble Buddy5321d ago

jonas brothers sell a lot more than musicians that have MUCH MORE TALENT than them.

Sales =/= Greatness

redsquad5320d ago (Edited 5320d ago )

As you sit watching the trailer, I realise your blood pressure is rising, I understand how your face is flushing with rage, I appreciate just how uncomfortable you are and how much you have to squirm when you realise you can't play this superlative-defying game.
It gnaws at you doesn't it? You can feel the anger welling up but you have no legitimate criticism to vent against other than cheap, childish cliché that nobody but you believes.

Because of all that, I FORGIVE the shortsighted, tired and downright ignorant rhetoric that comes spewing from your pie hole. I know it hurts and you can't help it.

Seek counsel my son....

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1469d ago (Edited 1469d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1469d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1468d ago (Edited 1468d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1470d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1469d ago (Edited 1469d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1469d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931469d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.

My favorite is the building collapsing on Uncharted 2.

goldwyncq1504d ago

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
