Beastly game

The campaign is abosoulutly perfect I cannot name one flaw at all. The online is pretty good to. The online needs more features and has a few bugs and problems like glitches.i do not want to include any spoilers but trust me on this one the campain is abosoultly stunning. I have put over 12 days into the multiplayer of this game and it is one of the most balenced multiplayers around. I do however hate situational awareness and glitchers. It is my favorite game of all time. I strongly suggest that you buy this game. I give this game a 10 out of 10, you can't afford to miss out. The maps online are all pretty good but everyone only really plays deathmatch and plunder. The campaign is about 15 hours and has infinite re-playability. The graphics are the best i have ever seen. If you have a ps3 and do not have this game you are seriously missing out. Nathan drake is abousolutly hilarious and the menus are clean and easy to navigate. I really like it's colorful art style. The levels in the campaign are varied from being on a train to a monastery or in the snow in the middle of nowhere. The voicing is really good and the characters are unforgettable. I am a level 57 in the multiplayer have achieved almost 60 percent of the trophies and have beaten the game twice.To get more info on the game i suggest you go to sites like gameinformer, ign and metacrtic. Uncharted 3 comes out november first. I know it will be an awesome game. You can buy uncharted at gamestop for about 30 U.S. dollars. Uncharted 3 info is widly avaliable throughout the web and I higly suggest you go and check it out.

Pretty fair. Can't possibly agree with needing more features, this game has much more than most.

fredrikpedersen4796d ago

It's like three games. Singleplayer, multiplayer and co-op. All really well executed, especially the SP.

Kon4795d ago

Wait, this was a review? It looked like an ad.

GLoRyKnoT4795d ago

A perfect 10 for me also! Simply, one of the best games i ever played!

Game0N4795d ago

it truly is a perfect game. holy shit.

adonchris4795d ago

1. graphics are overrated
2. bad copy of gears of war as a shooter
3. poor uninteresting platforming
4. childish adventure.
5. redecullus leading character
6. many bugs and glitches
7. low replay value.
8. 9/10 favorable.

dinkeldinkse4795d ago

"bad copy of gears of war as a shooter" and "redecullus" just made me laugh. Gears and Uncharted play nothing alike. The only similiarities the two franchises have are a cover system and third person view.

Bathyj4794d ago (Edited 4794d ago )

Uncharted's cover system is better too.

You dont stick to walls accidently or go diving into cover from a meter away because of a stupid one button does all system.

And I cant believe he would bring up bugs and glitches about Uncharted while trying to fanfair Gears.

jammydude4795d ago

What an idiot. There's a reason it has won more awards than any other game ever made.

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

P_Bomb1467d ago (Edited 1467d 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_Mal1466d 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_Bomb1466d ago (Edited 1466d 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.

MadLad1467d 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.

Profchaos1467d ago (Edited 1467d 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

Rimeskeem1467d ago

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

Movefasta19931466d 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.

goldwyncq1502d ago

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