Gametrailers reviews Uncharted

Does Drake get wiped off the map?

[xhi4]

always seems to be the most balanced of reviewers. I haven't watched this one yet, but I wonder what it will get.

EDIT: That's the thing with all these ps3 games, they look and play fantasticly, (aside from LAIR), they are extremely fun, but they cut short, like a movie almost. These ps3 games are so briliant, however, fail to satisfy it's price tag as it's value is not up to scratch. By value I mean for instance in comparison to something like The Orange Box, buying that assures you and gives the peace of mind that your paying one hundred dollars (in australia) for a game that will last you a hell of a long time. Not just one awesome weekend.

I guess in the years to come more GTA long games will come out, but until then.....yer.

[MikeGdaGod]

it was very good. i'll definately be playing again on Hard to find the other medals.

it's not short either, i just had alot of free time this weekend and put some major hours into it.

time to flip AC..........................

[lawman1108]

I will buy this when it's $49.99 at Circuit City or for less on Ebay. Looks great but thats alot of money for a game you will not touch after you beat it in 2 days.

[zapass]

After playing this amazing game, reading the reviews feels exactly like watching foxnews: makes me want to puke at the legally sponsored dishonesty, and the appalling lack of accountability. This is the best game I've played this year on any platform, don't let any digital cuckroach tell you otherwise, especially if they own a soapbox in the gaming media. Microsoft is now swift-boating at large because they've seen how successful it is when you can get away with murder. I am now done with official gaming sites just like any mainstream media outlet.
It is urgent for us gamers to find new ways to get independent reviews.

[Chris_GTR1]

hey.. it IS 49.99 at circuit city.. cause this week only they are giving a 10$ gift card when u buy this game. im getting it for shure

[consolewar]

Another one bites the dust
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one bites the dust

THIS IS WAITING

[pwnsause]

it got an 8.9

[ATLRoAcH]

The design score brought it down.Scored nines everywhere else.

[360sucks]

It has to have online multiplayer
It has to be more than 20 hours long
and it has to be on the 360

[consolewar]

look at the agrees count. Jealousy is awful thing.

Wait Beyond

[Kratchet]

This game was meant to play on hard. They must have played it on normal. On Hard everything is so much better. Can't wait to play Crushing mode

[sonarus]

I played it on hard too and IMO that brings about the perfect challenge. Uncharted biggest flaw has to be its length but its still a pretty good game. Not everyone plays game at a stretch so a lot of people could easily find fun out of it. I think they are being a little too hard on the games length. I'm really busy and even though i beat uncharted in bout 10hrs str8 i cnt wait to play it again on crushing jst that i dnt have the time. The game is that good. I dnt play all games twice but I do games like God of war ratchet and clank e.t.c.

[aiphanes]

Mass Effect is suppose to be only 15 hours...so 12 hours of playing Uncharted is perfect...

Cod4 was only 5 hours...but at least it had some awesome online....

[toughNAME]

..wheres the logic there?

i swear to god it feels like every ps3 game is getting 8.9..they just cant make it over that hump

[Bonsai1214]

yeah tough, i realized that too. if you average the parts, it rounds up to a 9...

but doesn't matter, i'll be picking this one up on wednesday

another question i have is, when will gamespot's review come out.. haha

[lawman1108]

Does NOT make the game more fun it makes it LESS fun.

[DrPirate]

Doesn't change thte fact it's the most fun I had with a single-player game since God of War 2.

[n_n]

nothing can change the feeling and awe i get when i pick up the controller and continue where i left off in Uncharted. no game EVER had me stop mid-game to look at the amazing scenery for 10 minutes before getting back in the game. that's all i got to say. this game is TIMELESS. everything just meshes so well.

[GodofPeace]

Why is there an issue with game length with games such as Uncharted and HS when games like GOW and GOW2 was 6 and 7.5 hrs respectively? Heck MGS2 wasn't that long of a game either. Doesn't the awesome gameplay like in Uncharted and GOW makeup for the game's length?

[felman87]

HS was too short and it left you wanting the story fleshed out a little more. COD4 was fine with its 5-6 hour story. FPS stories aren't overly complex, in fact they're fairly easy to comprehend.

[Kratchet]

True, but HS was total crap. You could beat it by pressing triangle over and over

[Skerj]

No you couldn't, the enemies would own you from that.

[nurayi]

or the fact that MGS1 could be played through in 3-5 hours... that didnt make it any less of a fantastic game. I dont think that playtime should be assessed for the score, they should simply tell you how long they took to beat it. That way you can decide if you will get enough out of the game. I mean all my favorite games are short and sweet, nothing wrong with a sort fantastic game, better than adding another 6 hours that drag on or get nothing else across from a story perspective.

[IcemanK2]

9 + 8 + 9.2 + 9.7 = 35.9 / 4 = 8.975 If you were to round this number it would have to be rounded up based on the number, so why did it not equal 9.

I think gametrailers is pretty good on their ratings and this is not a big deal it just seems strange. Any thoughts?

[toughNAME]

I dont think its an average is it?

Most review sites don't base their score of an average*****

but I like Gametrailers reviews..I do enough reading on the computer

except the last part of this review...not worth a buy, more of a rental...thats just a slap in the face..which is weird because its such a high score

[IcemanK2]

..

[Ju]

Did I miss something in the review ? But why did it get an 8 for design ? Did he explain that. In the beginning the reviewer sounded unhappy, but eventually he praised the stunning visuals. But, then again, I don't exactly understand the 8 for design.

[IcemanK2]

Why you would give an 8 for design really does not add up for me either.

[Adamalicious]

I think they went 8 there because it's so linear. But, really, what's wrong with that? Not every game needs to be sandbox, you know. A lot of fantastic games have been totally linear - I don't think that's much reason to knock it. But whatever, it's still a good score and a must-play for PS3 owners.

[Meus Renaissance]

"Aside from achievements, 60 different treasures, and a bunch of bonus content, there's no reason to go back and play this game again. A lack of some sort of leaderboard co-operative or online modes doesn't help stretch its longevity either"

Ok, that makes little sense. And they score Assassins Creed, what 9.3? I give up with these reviews. They scored the game 9.1, 9.2, 9.7 and then..8 to crash down the overall score, because its not as long as one would like. Yet AC, although longer, has you doing the same things over and over yet it gets a stellar score, whereas Uncharted is so great in every other aspect it doesn't even get a 9.0, 8.9. It's an insult.

Out of all the PS3 exclusives that truly deserved universal recognition, it would have to have been Uncharted but I guess its a no. I feel sorry for Naughty Dog as they deserved recognition for this game but GT are too busy with displaying count downs for the Mass Effect review like we don't know the score it'll get. I'm not hitting ME, but it just gets tiring to see 360 exclusives being hailed as the 2nd coming of gaming, where great PS3 titles like Uncharted are just dismissed and ignored for little reasons.

If Sony become the market leader once again, I say scrap support for these sites and support their rivals e.g. IGN, GameInformer because there is definitely an ugly stench in these circles.

This score isn't bad but its an injustice and I feel that you'll see that reading the comments, even from Xbox 360 owners. The game deserves more.

[dhammalama]

And thats even with many reviews stating that each mission in AC is the exact same formula. ????? Who knows? I can't wait for my order to come so I can play UDF!!

[jackdoe]

Yeah, I don't really understand it. Does a leaderboard really extend gameplay? I personally don't give a damn about leader boards. And I was surprised that the reviewer didn't understand the concept that some people might want to play a game again because it is fun.

[Skerj]

What's worse is they usually score games on that "other" system higher than PS3 versions BECAUSE of achievements and crap. GT while usually on the ball lost some of its credibility with me on that AC review. The AI they had on display was downright stupid and it still garnered a 9.3. I don't even care about reviews anymore though, I'll continue to play what I want.

[Ju]

I am getting the same feeling. The bar to get a 10 for a PS3 games seems to be twice as high. (and again, 9 story, 9.2 gameplay, 9.7 presentation and (tata) 8 (?) design ??? WTF).

- BTW And if someone else would deliver a quality product like AC they'd get a 5 or 6. Since when does a review qualify a "potentially" good looking game - but not a final product. Unless Ubi fixes that game, its a shame it even reached 9.

[Gamespot-equals-EGM]

@Meus, in case you haven't noticed, Gametrailers seem to be huge Jade Raymond fans (they have soooo many JR videos on their site). I'm sure that influenced their AC review by at least a little bit.

[lonestarmt]

ooo man, I'm glad you are pissed at the score too. I hate how they say how it didn't add anything new or invent anything new to gaming? When did that mean the scores went down?? crap halo 3 anyone? Thats a fun game, although I thought the scores were a little to high, what did it bring new to the gaming world??? All I know its a fun game, hard to put down, best graphics to date on a console, and it has lots of hidden items to find. There whole review didn't make sense, besides having lots of secrets and unlockables, it doesn't have a lot of reply value?? man shut up GT, you know you just mean Multiplayer. What a hack review. Seriously MGS 2 and 3 are great games and you can beat them in 8 to 10 hours, same thing with the devil may cry games. I really am not trying to down play the 360 great games, but this is starting to piss me off how double standards reviewers are having on ps3 games and its only on ps3 games.

[icechai]

from that first quote about the unlockables, it almost sounds like he's joking, because he just stated a ton of reasons to play it again! Oh well, guess online mode is thought of as a necessity these days and will add +1.0 to any game.

[Hamadzedan]

Jade Raymond

[Hamadzedan]

Jade Raymond

[lonestarmt]

icechai - yeah, but shall see if they take off any for mass effect. lol.

[HarryEtTubMan]

" We've waited a while for a Playstation 3 game that TRUELY SEPERATES itself from Xbox 360 software... and we finally have it. Drake's Fortune is !!!!!!EASILYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! THE BEST LOOKING CONSOLE GAME ON THE MARKET"

-QUOTE from GT on 11/18/07

It is written. The Xbox 360 will NEVER HAVE A GAME that looks as good as Uncharted. PERIOD. And this is JUST THE BEGINNING for PS3 software.

DAMN PWNED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND A LITTLE MORE.

AND OVER AND OVER. NUFF SAID. Go PS3!

[Alcohog]

All that matters is this is my favorite game of 2007. ;)

[EZCheez]

Amen.

[vilmer]

Uncharted 8.9
Assassin's Creed 9.3

Do they even play the games?

[mattkelly1991]

I heard that Aaron thomas(the no handed reviewer that reviewed R&C for Gamespot) got hired by Gametrailers. Thats why the Voice sounded different, it makes sense.

[Gamespot-equals-EGM]

As I mentioned in another comment, gametrailers seem to be huge Jade Raymond fans (they have a lot of videos of her on their site) so I'm sure that influence their review a little bit.

[pilotpistolpete]

I find it odd that they say the fighting was difficult to use. I thought it was pretty intuitive.

[Skerj]

They were probably trying to button mash, Naughty Dog said they meant for the fighting to be effective yet leaving you very vulnerable while using it so it doesn't overpower the game.

[scheme_a]

i've seen a video of a player taking down everyone with hand 2 hand combat in the demo. It was simply awesome to look at because of his skill and the amount of animation.

[DarkArcani]

Your not going to run out and start punching someone in a gun fight.

[DemiseofPandas]

I personally have taken out every enemy in the demo with melee. I love it.

[The_Engineer]

I scored "Headshot honcho" on my first run through the game, im only on chapter 14.

[lewdvig]

I agree that GT is one of the best review sites.

But what is all this talk about game length. I don't have time to play a 40 hour game. 10-15 hours is plenty.

[popup]

Yep.
How many HD-DVD or BluRay discs could you buy for $60?

How many hours of fun would you get from them?

How much interaction do you get from them?

...and what happens when you try and get replay value from a $60 meal? (you may have to look for some obscure porn for the answer to that one)

[IcemanK2]

I do have to admit that reviews and reviewers are getting tiresome. I am going to go back to the old days NES/Sega days of buying something because it is the type of game I want to play. Uncharted will be mine tomorrow no matter if someone scores it a -1.

[pwnmaster3000]

should i spend my money on this, call of duty or assassin

[iceice123]

PSN Call of Duty 4. It has replay value.

[Meus Renaissance]

Uncharted. Experience it and get COD4 2nd hand because its mainly an Online game.

[ikkokucrisis]

Keep in mind though, chances are you'll never find CoD4 used as online gives this game great replay value and will prevent a lot of people from selling back for another game.
Also remember that most good games don't get resold back, and if they are, they will be picked up in a flash by someone. As an example, I haven't seen many used copies of Heavenly Sword around and that game is short and has little to no replay value.

Oh yea, and about your question, I've only played CoD4 so far, and it plays perfectly on PS3 as far as performance goes. And for gameplay, it depends on what kind of games you like.

AC is like GTA
CoD4 is like Halo3
Uncharted is like Tomb Raider

[Ju]

CoD4 has some benefits. The story mode is, hm, an "alibi". I think its just there to justify the arcade mode. That however could be fun to play - if you like scores in a shooter (actually, I like it). For online...hm, hadn't much of a chance yet. I'd wish either Graw2 would have CoD4's visuals or CoD4 would have Graw2's gameplay (which IMO I like better). I haven't seen AC yet, but I'd probably rate
1) Uncharted (better cover system and visuals then CoD4!)
2) AC (if they'll release a fixed version ASAP)
3) CoD4

But, well, obviously I am preferring a good story over online.

[the worst]

then pick up COD4
pass on assassin creed
you will be very disappointed
in assassin creed
after playing Uncharted

[EZCheez]

It all depends on your preference though. If you like to look in every corner and treasure hunt, then Uncharted all the way. If you like FPS and an amazing storyline, then get COD4. It all depends on how much you play online though. COD4 has an amazing story but is over quickly without playing multiplayer.

They're both amazing games and no matter what you choose you will not be disappointed.

[lawman1108]

This game is OFF THE HOOK!!!

[solar]

i started the game on hard. its hella fun. i think i missed some treasure on the earlier lvls :( guess ill have to go back through on crushing....oh darn :P

[Danja]

I dunno did I hear this guy say the A.I isn't SMART there's just alot of them..??..the A.I in this game is top notch..I don't know what the hell he's talking bout

and the game isn't short why didn't he mention how long it took him to beat the game..??..other reviewers atleast back up there claims with a tacked on number...

Low replay value does ne game that doesn't include some sort of online functunality whether its' leader board..coo-op or w/e. it is has low replay value..??...I played the demo over 25 times...and every single time the A.I reacted differently ..the A.I alone gives this game legs..it doesn't make gameplay feel repetitive when you die .

He hardly stated anything bad about the game but it scored an 8.9..BUT Assassins Creed who has terrible A.I and repetitive mission...which also suffers from bugs..glitches and what not got an 9.3..did they even play Assassins Creed cuz i've not yet heard ne reviewers mention ne thing about experiencing bugs ..glitches..or white screens...

PLAY B3YOND...ppl buy this game don't rent...and don't play it on easy also..as that guy did..!!

BTW i've played Uncharted for 8.5 hrs and im only at 60% completed..it's on hard BTW..!!

[Longhornbevo]

AI is such a subjective idea in all games. There are VERY few games that seem to get AI right(according to reviewers), FEAR and Halo come to mind.

THe AI is perfectly fine in this game.

Depending on what sort of weapon they have they will attack differently, and they will try to flank you repeatedly along with throwing grenades to flush you out.

[andy001]

You are kidding about Halo right?

Your AI co-op player is rubbish, your AI troops are even worse, and the enemy are rubbish too.

Same attack patterns, same side stepping left then right, I don't think you can use Halo 3 as an example of good AI. Fear I like definitely, and also Metal Gear Solid 2 was good in terms of the difficulty of hiding from alert guards.

Uncharted hasn't been released here yet but the AI on the demo was fine. The enemies come from the same places of course, but overall it seemed better than most other games.

[xplosneer]

I don't think it's 10 hours, it's NOT a weekend game, and the punching is quite easy to pull off and there are many different ways to attack people.

[The_Engineer]

with destructible environments, for example I was shooting it out with baddies while standing halfway up a stairwell, there was too much crossfire coming back at me for me to peek my head out, there was a barrier at the top of the stairs to be used as cover, I shot off the top corner of it with my AK only to reveal the head of one of the enemies not aware that I now had a clear shot at him. BAMMMMM, this game is AWESOME!!!

[Longhornbevo]

My favorite Single Player game so far this generation. It took me about 9 hours to beat on Normal. There is a TON of replayability in the game- at least 10 costumes, you can flip the world or even mirror the world to almost change the entire game up the next time you play it. Not to mention the Crushing Difficulty and the cheats you can unlock.

[escobahr]

this game is just brilliant. ive been playing it since friday night (gamestops been selling it) and it is utterly amazing. its the first game in a long time that i actually cared the story in a real way. its unny, clever and very very well written.

what gets me is there is soo many moments in the game where i would compare the dialouge and atmosphere with any indiana jones flick.

and the A.I.
man this is the first time where i couldnt just leave my reticule in one spot and just wait for them to pop out and droppem (an easy tactic in GoW)each enemy had an endless amount of way to dodge my gunfire...

needless to say i would easily easssily give this game a 9.6/10

[Myth009]

these are games that define the ps3,and that separate 360 and ps3. i bet you guys the bias a$$ media is going to give mass effect super high scores!!dont get me wrong mass effect is good,but it looks kind of boring,Drake looks like it has everything!!that review was weak,they gave AC is 9. somthing and gave drake a 8.9!! wat a joke!! drakes less shoulda got a easy 9.4,but people stil hate on sony!! ps3 owners F#ck wat they say,buy it enjoy it!!because we no in our hearts that this kills every other game out this year!!

[Meus Renaissance]

"There is a ton of stuff to do in this game but after that there is no reason to play again"

I get the feeling someone didn't want to review this but couldn't deny how good the game was. Every negative is countered with a positive, that contradicts itself.

[Ju]

Meus, if I see you getting emotional about that, then I feel I don't need to justify mine :) I had the same feeling, at least in the beginning of the review. He sounded like that guy had a real bad day. Later I though to hear some excitement over the visuals, but in the beginning there was just that "I gotta find something" attitude.

[lonestarmt]

yup, I think its official there is a biased on rating ps3 games, not saying the 360 games don't deserve what they get, but ps3 games deserve more. I think reviewers look at 360 games differently they over look flaws more easily and ps3 games they highlight them and downplay the postives. ITs like they have forgotten what it is like to play games anymore. Why even watch mass effect review? I'm not saying it won't be good, but come on, when you have a counter counting down for heavens sake, and you show like six videos a day on the damn game, which by the way doesn't add anything really new to gaming, its going to get nothing less than a 9.5. I wonder if they are going to say that in ME review. Again not saying its not going to be great, but it sickens me to see this going on and any true gamer should be angry at this. The only people who win at this is people who there only goal is to see sony fail, not play great games.

[KidMakeshift]

Hard mode just means you can take fewer shots. I played it on normal and it's difficult enough without getting frustrating.

I have to disagree with gametrailers about the replay, A.I., melee, button sequences, and design choices. This game has tons of replay value: find hidden treasures and complete objectives, which are part of a reward system: unlock characters, costumes, weapons, render modes (mirror world, color tones), gameplay modes, etc.. Plus, it has multiple spoken languages that are well acted. The A.I. is smart (doesn't follow patterns and will flank you) and in great numbers around every turn. The melee is way more varied than they give it credit for. I pulled off around 10 different moves (there's probably more) in the game, and the button sequences (which are rare) give the player plenty of time to react. The design of this game is fantastic (this and Assassin's Creed are the best looking and designed games this year, in my opinion). I don't get why Gametrailers gave it a 8.0 for design but in no way explained themselves. Actually, they only compliment the design of the game.

The only problem I have with the game is there's quite a bit of tearing and way too many gun battles.

[TattooedPeanut]

I agree this and assassins are probably the best games ive played this year.

[KidMakeshift]

Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Odin Sphere, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Tomb Raider Anniversary, God of War II (did everyone forget about this game?)

And soon to be: Mass Effect

It's been a good year for gamers

[Wii60_FTW]

Nice game. Not sure that it looks better than Gears, but who cares. The game itself, and story, looks pretty engaging.

[KidMakeshift]

I think Uncharted looks fantastic for the most part (some places and objects don't look as great as others). Uncharted definitely has better environment variation than Gears, but they have two completely different themes. For some reason, Uncharted it reminds me of all the old Disneyland rides: The Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of The Caribbean.

I can't wait for the sequels

[Wii60_FTW]

lmao @ the disagrees. So, the game isn't engaging? dumbasses.

[KidMakeshift]

Huh?

[The_Engineer]

because this game pisses on Gears bloody corpse, don't throw in xbot manure into your post and you wont get disagreed with. dumbass

[KidMakeshift]

Please express them elsewhere

[TattooedPeanut]

I have every system and this game is the best looking game i have ever seen thus far,even better than gears of war.

[The_Engineer]

while playing through some of the levels I remarked to myself how they reminded me of Gears, on a REAL next gen console!!!!! lol

seriously xbots are some of the most stupidest people on the planet, it doesn't hold a candle to the PS3's graphics. Just enjoy your damn console and stop making yourself look like idiots trying to compete with Sony.

but seriously, the textures and most of all the LIGHTING ENGINE in this game make gears look like it was done with crayons, old faded ones at that.

[DJ]

So that's actually a really high score. I liked seeing all the new footage from the game. =]

[Dr Pepper]

The visuals in this game are awesome. This looks like one of those games where you stop every once in a while just to admire the scenery. They really seemed to have paid close attention to detail.

[antoinetm]

Gotta love those 7.9 and 8.9 scores.

"its deserves 9 but for some reason we dont want to give away our precious!"

[wil4hire]

I give up. The PS3 will never get an AAA title. If Uncharted can't do it.. seriously.. What can? One of the greatest games of this generation.

[Xi]

ratchet and clank, Halo 3, COD4, mario galaxy ring some bells.

[INehalemEXI]

I think alot of reviewers must be waiting for 08 to start giving ps3 games the perfect/or close to perfect scores. Just giving 360 library a clear 07 victory. Which it should get since its been around longer.

[aco]

They compared the game to Gear of war which also was about 9 hour of game play.. The only thing that Gears of war Get + is that it has online... I think that why they gave Uncharted 8.9... because gametrailers think there is nothing to come back for in Uncharted.. But I think there alot to come back fore... Just look at the game... it sparkel.... And what is this with 8.9 where did the 0.1 gooo...hahha

[gamesblow]

Assassins Creed is 10 folds worse than this game. I don't care what anyone says. It's a pile of Donkey ****, nuff said. The only reason they gave it a 9.3 is because Jade Raymond is best friends with geoff and that's that. Uncharted is the best game out so far. Bar none... It got an ass load of 9's in the last section of this review, yet they give it an 8.9.. go KISS F**K gametrailers.

[Korosuke]

I've played the retail version yet so I have a queston.
What's the difference in difficulty option.
If you choose hard,
AI is more smarter or
Ai is more tougher or
health you have is decrease or
damege you got is increase or
combine these ?

I coudn't see any difference in the demo. So curious.

[wil4hire]

Ai is the same.

You take realistic damage on Hard/Crushing. so no surviving shots to the face 10x in a row for drake.

[Korosuke]

Thank wil4hire.
I've just recived the imported Uncharted =D
SO I will choose hard mode.

[n_n]

you know, reviewers never decide what game i will buy, but so far the trend that i've been seeing (and you ALL see it too) is sickening. these morons are not professionals, they're just ignorant. when i see a great game, and i play a great game, it's a great game to me.. i don't care what platform it's on.. if it's great it deserves recognition... but all this crap that's been spewing out of reviewers lately cause MS didnt' shove it in hard enough is pathetic.

now you guys will understand why i buy ALL my 360 console & games USED. my money will never be in MS's pockets so they can buy bigger dildos to shove it up the ignorant fanboys.

[wangdiddy82]

This game deserves better than this.. Gametrailers have been really weird with there reviews lately.

he says the AI isnt that good in this game?? What games has he been playing a$$ creed where u can kill someone right in front of his buddy than walk around the guy and stab him in the back?? lol I played a$$ creed and that game deserves nothing better than a 8 but they gave it a mid 9.. Nothing special at all in that game but uncharted pushes a new envelope with how a game should be made and only gets an 8.9..

I also have to say uncharted has the best AI i have seen in a game next to metal gear games.. I swear sony cant catch a break with there games.. Uncharted has to be one of the best games this year on any console but it gets played down so much by some reviewers.. I swear when reviewes rated bioshock they didnt knock off points for it being the same length as uncharted and not having a multi player.. And uncharted has way more replay than bioshock..

Mass effect has to be one of the most over hyped games alongside halo 3.. So many sites build 360 exclusives up so much but most of them suck.. I wonder if there going to rate mass effect a 8 for being a short rpg game.. Probably not..

[QuackPot]

"...Drake's Fortune is easily the best looking console game on the market."

And the Ps3 is only a year old.

This should put the final nail in the coffin of fanboys saying the 360's graphics will always be better. Not so if the developer knows the system.

What a glorious few years we gamers have install for us.

GT5, KZ2, FF, MGS, LBP, RFOM 2, MS2, GoW3, etc and of course Uncharted 2 as this is now a hot new franchise.

[wil4hire]

No, they will all stand by the score of the review, saying that its a bullet proof review and Sony Fangirls are crying...

and they will 100% IGNORE the fact that the review just said that UNCHARTED IS THE BEST LOOKING GAME ON THE CONSOLE MARKET.

Wonder if they will say the same about Mass Effect? Only time will tell.

[dagonet]

I just downloaded the review (the sd version) and do you know what i see when i watch it at the end just before the scores are shown? all white absolutley where the scores are shown thats what! and then after that the gt logo comes up...Now i've watched other reviews from the site and i know when the score comes up if you guys think i'm retarded...but see for yourselves...dunno about the hd version...but the blank white screen might mean they are thinking of changing the score after all the angry comments that they got from the registered users at game trailers...who knows...just a thought...

and another thing...this game should get a 9.4 at the least!

[Ashta]

Naughty Dog has already said once before that the game already contains the code for online leaderboards and public records of achievements and trophies. Uncharted's medal system is already compatible with PS3 "HOME" and once that gets released all of our achievements and records are supposed to incorporate over in to that system.

Naughty Dog said they had created the treasure system and rewards with HOME in mind and that once the social world is released Uncharted is already fully compatible.

So, for Gametrailers to leave that out is kinda crappy. Still, if they weren't going to say it because it isn't ready -now- then a side note in the video could explain that "online leaderboards and achievements are coming some time in the future."

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW MANY GAMES OUT ON THE MARKET ARE BETTER THAN UNCHARTED?JESUS CHRIST,WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY?

I HAVE ALL THE BIG 'NEXT-GEN' GAMES(MULTIPLATS AND XBOX 360 GAMES)-YOU NAME IT,I MOST LIKELY HAVE IT.ASK ME FOR PROOF OF ANYTHING AND I WILL SHOW YOU.AND AFTER PLAYING DOZENS OF GAMES FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS,ONLY 4 GAMES THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE NEXT-GEN GAMING EXPERIENCE HAVE AMAZED ME THROUGH GAMEPLAY AND VISUAL PRESENTATION.

THOSE GAMES ARE,NAMELY: RATCHET AND CLANK,CALL OF DUTY 4,GEARS OF WAR,AND...TAKE A WILD GUESS:UNCHARTED-DRAKES FORTUNE.

HERES THE THING THOUGH: OUT OF THESE 4 GAMES,ONLY 1 OF THESE LEFT ME IN A STATE OF EXCITEMENT I HAD NOT FELT SINCE RECEIVING THE LEGEND OF ZELDA:OCARINA OF TIME ABOUT A DECADE AGO.TAKE A WILD GUESS WHICH ONE IT IS:UNCHARTED-DRAKES FORTUNE.

OH,AND GUESS WHAT?I HAVE ONLY PLAYED A DEMO OF UNCHARTED,YET I AM MORE EXCITED FOR IT THAN I AM FOR ANY OTHER UPCOMING VIDEO GAME SOFTWARE.I HAVE NOT ONCE REVIEWED A GAME BASED ON A DEMO,BUT HIDEE HO UNCHARTED HAS BROKEN MY RULE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HONEST JOURNALISM?ARE GAMETRAILERS TRYING TO TELL US THAT ASSASSINS CREED IS A BETTER GAME THAN UNCHARTED:DRAKES FORTUNE?A GAME THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK PROPERLY,IS REPETITIVE,HAS 0 REPLAY VALUE AND HAS A LAUGHABLE STORYLINE,IS BETTER?

8.9/10,AWARDED TO A REVOLUTIONARY ACTION GAME THAT IS ON PAR WITH AND EXCEEDS SOME OF THE RECENT INDUSTRY HEAVY HITTERS SUCH AS RESIDENT EVIL 4,GEARS OF WAR,ETC.IM STARTING TO BELIEVE SONY FANS WHEN THEY SAY MICROSOFT HAS A STRONG HOLD ON THE TOP GAMING WEBSITES,THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT UNCHARTED IS A AAA+ GAME AND I HAVE YET TO ENCOUNTER ANY SOLID REASON AS TO WHY THE GAME DOESN'T DESERVE A 9+ SCORE.

THIS GENERATION IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THE WORST ONE IN VIDEOGAME HISTORY,AND WE ALL OWE OUR THANKS TO THESE SHAMEFUL WEBSITES THAT ARE ACTING OUT OF CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL INTEREST RATHER THAN LOVE FOR GAMING.

[consolewar]

exactly

[IGNFTW]

A GAMER THAT CAN SEE THROUGH BS REVIEWS OF EXCELLENT GAMES,WHAT ABOUT YOU?

[Kain81]

You are Right, i agree with you

[macsto]

hahahahahhaha FLOP!

[mighty_douche]

8.9 a flop in your world??

or are you just in the habit of insinuating flame wars purely in the hopes of getting a reply? i wonder....

[remix]

and 8.9 is DEFINETELY NOT A FLOP MY FRIEND. everything got a 9.7,9.4 and 9.0 and then all of a sudden design gets a 8.

did your dumbass even watch it

[Goldsack]

u absolutly right.
its all about MS money, nothing else!!!!

[shysun]

Yup...best looking console game to date!Eat the haters!

[MaximusPrime_]

8.9 is a pretty good score.

Story 9.0 EXCELLENT
Design 8.0 What? are you trippin? I would give it at least 9.0
Gameplay 9.2 EXCELLENT
Presentation 9.7 WOW.

I'm impressed that another reviewer gave it a great mark.

[hoklee]

wow time to get this game 8.9!

[The Only Truth]

That only shows how biased Gametrailers is. 360 Fanboys !
They gave Uncharted a 8.9 to prevent it from being AAA !
To me (i only own a 360) this game looks really fun and considering the review and the points it got in every category, the game deserved at least a 9.0 or higher !

Shame on you Gametrailers...

[demolitionX]

but i agree, looks like they gave it 8.0 in desgn to make it below 9.0, which is pathetic. anyway, it's a great game like ratchet, a must buy for any PS3 owner like me ;P

[bioshock]

it doesnt matter if its 8.9 its gonna go 9 on metacritic..plus i knw it shouldve gotton more, but hey they like to bash ps3 games dont u knw.. this is the best game i have played after gears and it even surpassed it in storyline, animation, design. but very sad they gave it 8.9..i trusted them they gave resistance even 9..thts unfair, but its AAA title no doubt and every ps3 owner need to have it to belv it.

[sonyfanonly]

what kind os score is 8.9 i dont understand why dont they just rate them 1 through 10 instead of putting in these points it is getting 9 every where else cause it is a good game i think in gameinformer one of the scores was a 8.5 and in egm they all was 8.5 you see this halo effect has these gamereviewers all screwed up thats all they talk about in egm is HALO clearly it has to be a good game or the xbots wouldnt praise it oh wait if it was on ps3 they wouldnt care about it

[krik]

I think they pulled that "8.0 for Design" just to make sure they game stayed under 9.0. Not sure why reviewers do this to some great games.

Also he states Uncharted is "easily the best looking game on any console" and "a game that separates the PS3 from the 360". If you watch the review you will expect a higher score.

It's funny GT gave 9.1 to Assassin's Creed and 8.9 to Uncharted. I own both and I would pick Uncharted over AC any time. I actually got bored of Assassin's Creed right about when you are starting to have fun playing Altair after all the boring tutorials and they bring you back to the future/present time because the female scientist wants you to rest. WTF? Anyway I went back to Altair and killed 2 of the 9 targets but then I got really bored and put down the game. So after 4 hours with AC I now agree with the 7.5 score from IGN. Should have trusted them when I saw the 7.5 and pass on AC.

[coolfool]

no where in that review do they say WHY they game it 8.0 for design. Just would have been nice if they explained themselves a bit.....

[Maestro]

Not AAA PStards, don't cry guys.

[coolfool]

Reviews don't really matter, if review of a game isn't great and you disagree with then the review is meaningless. If the review says it's not AAA but you play and have a great time doing so then it is definately AAA to you. And that is what is important; games can be great regardless of what reviews say about them.

In my opinion this is one of the best games this year and looking at this forum almost everyone if having a blast playing this game so they seem to agree. Does that indicate AAA to you?

[magera]

exactly. there is no such thing as an expert opinion on games. it is all subjective. if you love a game then it should not matter at all what others think, just play it and enjoy.

[God of Gaming]

Just bought a PS3, downloaded all of the demos and Uncharted was by far the most fun out of the games I played for the system. I think it looked great (not the best I have ever seen but solid!) and it played great which was a surprise to me. I have it coming to me from Gamefly so I am excited to go through it.

[Boon Tarkas]

This game looks like a blast!

[Rangitahi]

so its OFFICIAL .......Uncharted is king of gfx.

UNCHARTED > GEARS

[DrWan]

8.9 to a non-buggy game..damn. And the "non timing jump" hmm assasin's creed is like that too.

[Bebedora]

Uncharted is worth more ($60) than this arse reviewer. This is Uncharted's 7.5 review from GS's R&C reviewer.

I have only played the demo and love it. The gameplay is so much better than what I've seen on videos. And the AI is a breath of fresh air, for certain.

If playing on hard, I hope the foes are as easily killed. That is, fiveshot fest per person to knock him down is not representative. Easy killed, easy kills is fair.

[TheHater]

I really don't get why this game got a 8 for design? What the hell was gametrailer smoking when they review this game. I personally think that they is one of the best all around design in a game I seen since God of War 2. I really don't understand why they give a game such as AC that have a average design and have a lot of bugs a higher score than this game? I personally Play both AC and Uncharted, and AC get really old after a couple of hours into the game. I mean you do they same thing over and over.

[xg-ei8ht]

I'm a big tombraider fan, I've beaten every tr game since ps1.

This game reminds me of it, but in a new way, different action, excellent animation,fighting,shooting.

I love the way its another person doing to GT review.

I think its quite obvious, ps3 games are being knocked because of being on ps3.

If this game was on 360, it would be 10's all around.

[aaquib5]

1. It's Tomb Raider and Gears of War combined
2. It's only 10 hours long
3. It has no online fuctionality

1.So, wasn't Halo 3 just Halo 2 polished up in 640p with some more weapons? Well they still gave it 9.5.

2. Bioshock was also 10 hours long, but it got 9-10's everywhere

3. Again, Bioshock, Mass Effect and many more don't have online functionality and all score over 9's.

Am I seeing a pattern here or is someone biased?

[Itachi]

i am shocked if uncharted was in blazing 640p and as dark as GeoW game trailers would have scored at 9.9

I don't trust Game trailers they are a scummy website they all was have special on xbox360 games like bioshock or halo 3

yet rip apart better ps3 games hey they are so biased that they give 30 year old sony haters screw attack there own channel

[HondaSIRowner]

9.1 from IGN and thats all that matters.

[DevastationEve]

Or, is it that ps3 gamers feel like their $600 investment "entitles" them to 9.0+ games. Reality hits...like a brick. Truth is, perefect games are hard to come by. On either console. But don't kid yourself that 8.9 isn't great. Just get used to the fact the perfection is a horizon vaguely seen and seldom reached. We 360 gamers deserve 9.0+ games just as well as any other paying consumer and supporter of this industry.

Stop procrastinating, 8.9 means a stellar game in my book.

[Double-Edged]

soo much for having an AAA title for the PS3 this year

Suckers.
lmao

[Double-Edged]

It's officially not an AAA title
but we will say it is..
so that PS3fanboys will stop crying.

Waaaa waaaa waaaa... !

[bootsielon]

Tell me who the hell is the "official organization for AAA titles".

If you can't do that, you're a dipsh1t with bogus claims.

[Kratchet]

In my book this game is triple A, because it doesn't matter how much you sell or the reviews it gets, its how much enjoyment you get out of the game. Do what you want, call it a AAA or not, but it is a great game no matter what.

What does AAA really mean? OMG it 98 percent on metacritic! its teh bestest game EVER! Errrm, no. The only reviewer you should be trusting is yourself and yourself only. Try the game and if you don't like it, abandon it. But don't trash a game without trying it.

[Double-Edged]

AAA+ means 90 or above average... I don't even have to talk much about that because everyone here at N4G knows that already.
but wait...
since PS3 does not have a game that averages above 90, the fanboys all of a sudden forget about averages and REVIEWS.

which is sad because instead of taking it like a man and accepting the FACT that PS3 has no AAA games (90avg).... they bash reviewers and make up all these theories of why PS3 aint passin the 90's and 360 is.

they cry cry cry cry... and say stupid things like.
Face reality.

PS3 owners are not Playing Beyond.
Not at all... because there are no AAA+ games to justify that claim.

PWNED

Edit: see...if you go to gamerankings and check out the top games ever. There is a reason why they are there. It's because they are that good. Your favourite games are your favourite games....almost like a niche group. But c'mon, everyone loved Zelda, Mario, Half-Life etc..
Averages. THERE ARE NO AAA+ GAMES ON THE PS3

[Kratchet]

@Double Edge

Why don't you go play your AAA games and stop whining. Noone needs your fanboy insight.

PWNED

[Double-Edged]

oh wow....c'mon

you can do better than that.

[Kratchet]

hmmm, i suspect no comeback. Maybe because i was right?

[bootsielon]

"AAA+ means 90 or above average... I don't even have to talk much about that because everyone here at N4G knows that already."

"Everyone"? Great reasoning, numbnutz. Who the hell actually TOLD EVERYONE? Seriously, cite an official source, moron. As you said, "officially AAA", right? Well, who said "9.0+" means AAA? There are other cites giving it above 9, moron. And if you need metacritic, who the hell is metacritic to give an authorization? What makes you think the "average" score is a true consensus?

[Ahhhh]

@xhi4 - "These ps3 games are so briliant" so are you saying the 360 games are not brilliant? That's a retarded statement..

Game looks great.

[bootsielon]

" see...if you go to gamerankings and check out the top games ever. There is a reason why they are there. It's because they are that good. Your favourite games are your favourite games....almost like a niche group. But c'mon, everyone loved Zelda, Mario, Half-Life etc..
Averages. THERE ARE NO AAA+ GAMES ON THE PS3 "

Umm... I feel funny having to explain you here. Of course on a ranking site the "top RANKED games" will be in the top, since it relies ON RANKINGS. If you ask the site owners, they will tell you those are "the AAA titles". However, there's no body of regulation in that, and there will NEVER be

As someone said before... it's not that PS3 has no AAA games, it's that Sony set themselves up with the expectations people had for PS3 being tons of times better than Xbox 360. My bet is that once Home is implemented, reviewers won't have excuses anymore. Not even gamespot. That still doesn't mean the games aren't AAA.

[The_Engineer]

it's almost like MS payed off all these fanboy sites to aid them in sabotaging Sony and the playstation this time around.

check this out xbots, I AM A TRUE GAMER, I go to where the best gaming experience is and right now it's in Uncharted on the PS3. The 360 provides decent games but most of them pale in comparison to PS3 games like this. I for one won't stand for some giant monopoly shoving it's "C-" brand of gaming down my throat. Not when I have an A+ in PS3 and its games.
