Is Uncharted 2....Overrated?

Uncharted 2 was a big hit last year for the PS3. It received multiple high score reviews, as well as Game Of The Year awards. With that said, is Uncharted 2 overrated?

[aviator189]

One of these articles again?
The one simple answer is....not at all. While not all the aspects of the game are near perfect, the game deserves the universal praise unlike some other games..... MW 2...

LOL at the disagrees.

[-Alpha]

Actually I don't mind the article, but I get what you say-- every game gets this treatment, especially popular ones that get questioned like this.

A lot of people say UC2 is flawless or perfect, and I'm OK with that opinion, but if anything, I had a few gripes with it. I wouldn't say it's overrated, but I wouldn't say it's as perfect as some may make it out to be.

I don't mind the article criticizing some aspects of Uncharted 2. No need to feel as if the article is attacking any of you. I don't think the title is that great though, because the content of it doesn't justify, answer, or attempt to discuss the issue created, but none of the things I read in this article make me conclude it's "overrated"

There is no way around it: if the article title was changed it'd still feel like flamebait because many people will get offended by the thought of Uncharted 2 getting criticized in any way.

[PoSTedUP]

but do i have to turn on my n4g "quality filter" b4 this hits front page? YES

[lociefer]

why does every noname site has to bash a pefect game for hits

[Noctis Aftermath]

Uncharted 2 isn't perfect, but it's flaws are small and there is just so much great things in this game that the amount of praise it has received has been completely justified in my eyes.

So no i do not think it's overrated.

[brazilianbumpincher]

... i know....TADAAAAA

[SonySoldiers]

is rather too offensive to some sort of baboons

If you feel like a phantom baboon, please bash the article by clicking on the Disagree button here NOW

[Rumor]

f*ck no

[ico92]

is uncharted 2 overrated ? no

is it perfect ? probaly not

is it the closest an action game this gen will ever to perfect ? yes

People praise uncharted 2 because theres really nothing wrong with it ,its one of the most polished games ever released, i read this article and the guys problems with the game are his own personal problems,whereas the majority of reviewers and gamers have praised the game for aspects he didnt like, this guys just being overly critical.
And besides who cares Uncharted 2 has been out for like 8 months its an amazing game get over it.

[-Alpha]

I'm not disagreeing with you Ico, what exactly are you replying to?

[ico92]

basicly im trying to point out that your comment is pretty similar to the guy writing the article, i remember you saying a while ago that you thought uncharted 2 was overrated and thats fine where all entitled to our opinion, but it seems peoples gripes with the game are their own problems , theres really nothing wrong with the game.

[Cregan4584]

Game went to hell with all the recent multiplayer changes. Play it before you disagree.

[-Alpha]

I don't think I've ever used the word overrated with UC2. Can u point me to where I said it? I really hate explaining this all the time because I come off as somebody who is just bitching about N4G, but I do it anyway:

I have however said that I had gripes with it, and that it was hard to express them because people would instantly think I was bashing the game. This article at least allows a proper time to discuss UC2's flaws, but even then people are bashing it just because he is bashing a popular game. If UC2 is overrated it's in the sense that people think it's perfect and are close-minded to criticisms supporting those gripes. If "Perfect" is the main consensus then I can see why someone would say it's overrated. People are getting bent out of shape over someone else expressing an opinion, and that's hypocritical because I'm sure there are popular games we all played that we didn't agree were as great as others saw it. So why treat someone who disagrees with UC2 any different? Come on, the mob-mentality around here needs to be broken.

I understand articles like this are usually flamebait. I don't even think he presents a strong argument and I think the quality is poor, but people get mad and don't respect people's opinions if they are different and that is not fair. Yet, I'll see a Halo game get bashed perfectly fine around here as if it's factually correct.

Why do you think my comment is similar to that of the authors when I'm only supporting the right to have an opinion? I don't mind seeing articles like this, but I think the writer didn't do a good job presenting the article/question properly. But to think he isn't allowed to criticize a game or post an article criticizing something popular is childish. Anyways, that's all I was trying to say. No matter what this will be seen as flamebait, only because people will allow themselves to take it so personally. Anyways, don't mean to defend the article, because I don't agree it does a good job, but I don't want to knock it down simply because it's criticizing a popular game like other may be doing.

[ChronoJoe]

Same. I had a few gripes with it, but I think it did what it was trying to do, quite perfectly. Whilst personally It would have been, of my preferences if there were some changes, with art being subjective, and all that. Then considering the game does, what it sets out to do, almost perfectly, it should only be judged respective to it's intentionality.

It doesn't try to be a deep, action adventure RPG, as I'd want it, but does manage to be a fantastic action game. Whilst not to my taste, it is definitely quite brilliant.

However, if you read this article it does seem to be... well pretty biased. Immediately I got the impression the community was a relatively 'hardcore' one, whereas Uncharted targets accessibility, they appear to have a problem with Uncharteds lack of learning curve, which is understandable coming from there perspective, but in the end not good journalism. Suitable for some sort of forum rant, perhaps, but I wasn't too happy with this particular opinion piece being on N4G.

[-Alpha]

Here are some criticisms I personally had:

-Linearity
-Puzzles were WAY too easy, they were there just for filler (I have reasoned that it would kill the pace if they were super hard, but they lacked using your brain to solve puzzles completely-- look at your book and match the pictures isn't a puzzle, it's a filler task. I wanted something a little more challenging for puzzles)
-Boss fights lacked imagination, all very redundant and resorted to the same "run around in a circle and blindfire" tactic, especially the last one
-Stealth missions were a little easy and AI wouldn't notice me even if I was pretty close to them
-This isn't really a gameplay issue, but I was disappointed with the trophies as they were copy and pasted from UC1

I wont criticize the multiplayer but I can point a few issues for it. However I wont because I believe the game is perceived as a single player and will judge that instead.

I think my gripes are valid, I perceive people disagreeing but am I wrong, are you just upset that I'm criticizing the game?

Now, with all those issues, I loved the game for many reasons, pretty much all the reasons that have already been covered. Just because I had gripes and didn't think it was perfect doesn't mean the game sucked or that I didn't like it. Yet, that's the mentality people have around here. If you aren't 100% on board with something they treat you like your some kind of hater.

If I were to write this article I'd title it "Gripes with UC2", but no matter what I'd get flamed just because I am criticizing something popular. And if people are going to let their emotions get in the way of reasoned criticisms then they are being pretty unreasonable. The writer has a right to make this article. Don't attack him for attacking the game, attack him for not doing a good job at it. ChronoJoe put it best, these sort of opinions should be on a forum post, not glorified as something for N4G.

[ico92]

now im obviusly not going to go back 8 months ago to find a specific comment but lets just say you didnt thonk it was that great.

Now the point im trying to make is , what were your gripes, was it broken controls, ugly graphics, glitches,difficulty, bugs ? now people don't thnk uncharted 2 is perfect, because from what i've seen on this website most ps fans would probaly agree on MGS4 being a more perfect game, its not that the game is perfect that makes it great, because its not perfect, its because as far as an action game goes theres really nothing wrong with it, and i've said this before most peoples problem with the game are their own personal issues, not the game itself.

And regarding Halo 3 peole say Halo 3 is an overrated game because of the insane marketing behind it, dont get me wrong its a great game, but was it so good the it desrvered its own drink? a commercial every 5 minutes ? G4 specials, slogans, pop up ads on on every website you visted ? microsoft shoved the Halo name down your throat the week it came out, and top top it off i remember EDGE sayin " forget game of the year how abut game if the decade"....riiigght ok edge.

[-Alpha]

Why are you so upset it got its own ads and stuff? Halo was marketed because it was marketable. It was a popular universe of comics, ads, drinks, etc. but that has NOTHING to do with the GAME.

If the Halo name has all these drinks, and ads, etc. that's criticizing the popularity of the game, but not the game itself.

You are upset over Edge thinking it was game of the decade? Do you know how many highly critical games got comments like that? Many. A lot of games have been called "the best ever". That is definitely hype talking but why single out Halo?? I don't get the Halo hate, I swear it stems from jealousy. You are so upset with EDGE saying that, but you fail to see those sort of over-exaggerated comments are made ALL the time.

Many sites use the word "best" or try to express that a game is top of it's class or genre but why single out Halo? Now notice that I have no problem with you criticizing Halo. But people seem to be OK with criticizing Halo, but HATE when something like UC2 gets criticized. That's my only problem, and I think people shouldn't excuse this article on that grounds. Hell people in this thread alone admitted to not reading the article and dismissing it SOLELY because it criticized UC2. Don't you see the problem?

I disagree with this article, but I don't disagree with it because it's criticizing UC2, I disagree because it shouldn't be an article, it's just a rant/opinion that isn't of the best quality.

[AAACE5]

Uncharted 2 is one of the best games I have ever played!

[ReservoirDog316]

I only really had one problem with Uncharted 2 overall: that train level was a bit too long.

That's it really.

One of the only things keeping me from the platinum for it is the extremely long list of treasures. But it really was one of my favorites ever (see bio).

[edhe]

"Quality Filter" doesn't work...

... the comments don't ever 404 on me...

[Eric Barrier]

Train Level too long?!? Blasphemy! That level was amazing and if anything should have been a bit longer.

[Jake360]

I'm playing UC2 at the moment and it's a brilliantly looking game and it sounds fantastic. But, I have found some of the fighting dull. But it is all made up with some good puzzles. Kinda like RE5.

[Theonetheonly]

Does elmer fudd have trouble with the letter "R"

:P

[Darkstorn]

Uncharted 2 is not necessarily overrated, but it's also not the best game of this generation. Can we all just agree that it's excellent?

[gta_manic]

which is the current best game of this gen, Uncharted 2 is for me or maybe batman:AA

[Rumor]

mines also

[MorganX]

I can agree with that. It probably is the best looking game of its type.

[MorganX]

Best game is subjective. Even if I agree it's the prettiest, I personally enjoyed Resident Evil 5 more.

Also, beautiful graphics are subjective as well, but there's no denying the great art in Uncharted 2.

[peowpeow]

Personally my top games this gen were Mass Effect 2 and Uncharted 2

[RememberThe357]

But Uncharted 2 is not over rated; maybe by some but not generally. Uncharted 2 is one of the best games this generation. And it is the best looking game this gen as well. I'm really not willing to say the graphics is subjective; art style, yes, but not pure graphical detail.

[Darkstorn]

@RememberThe357-

I agree with you that Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best game this gen (so far) and that Uncharted 2 is the best looking console game (so far).

[bnaked]

It's definitely the most polished game ever released!

I've never seen such a high quality video game before..

Uncharted 2 deserves all the praise! Naughty Dog are the kings of grafics, characters, voice acting, story telling, action, animations, and so on.. It's incredible!

Nobody should downplay Uncharted 2.

The article fails..

edit: MGS4 is the Nr.1 experience this gen imo, but just for fans of the series.
I just think, that Uncharted 2 is what video games are all about.. Entertainment of it's best..

[specialguest]

There were other games I enjoyed playing more than Uncharted 2. (Keyword: I)

[gamerzBEreal17]

yea cod4 gears of war MGS4 god of war3 dead space theres way to many games but uncharted2 is one of the greatest games this gen and the multiplayer gets boring after awhile? LOL i never stoped playing with trophies to earn online GET THE new DLC packs siege new skins and platinum the game and i promise u you will have the time of your life its one of the few games that are fun to platinum and to easy? try playing on hard/crushing this article is just stupid

[pain777pas]

You don't belong in the industry dumb ass. You know nothing about gaming seriously. You should be ashamed as a gamer to spew your BS. I hate gaming journalism because of aholes like you. Your the type that because Nintendo made the WII and you don't like it Ocarina of time is now a dated boring old game when in truth it is a landmark title for its gen just like Uncharted 1 and 2 are for this gen. Do not write shut down your site your pointles.

[OneSneakyMofo]

No.

[Rocket Sauce]

"IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"

[HSx9]

Is the Author....Mentally Challenged?

[XactGamer]

No it's the best game on the PS3

[Commander TK]

that´s MGS4

[ABizzel1]

That's like asking is the earth flat.

[Inside_out]

MW2 completely destroyed this game in sales for one reason only...It's 10x better...Better on-line, better story, better soundtrack, better everything. Gamers buy games, MW2 outsold UC2 by millions and millions even on its own console. Have a vote tomorrow among people who actually play games and UC2 wouldn't win anything. The DLC for MW2 even outsold UC2. MW2 is the peoples champ 2009 and beyond. The media made UC a poster boy for gaming because MW2 had the airport scene that freaked everybody out.

Indiana Drake and the lost cause does nothing original...cover system stolen from Gears, story from Indiana Jones, platforming from Prince of Persia-sands of time without any of the cleverness. Indiana Drake and his AK-47 is as last gen as it gets in game play. It's 75% pre-rendered/green screen graphics. ND is only to happy to share this info with the few who bothered to watch the extra features in the game. It should be on the Wii, that's its demographic.

Thankfully, that's one award the paid media will never be able to GIVE UC, the most sold and the most profitable. You have to EARN those through giving the gamers what they want...ON CONSOLES.

[Studio-YaMi]

such a troll...

Most of your comment is cracked with too many holes
but since you only have one bubble (and thank God for that)
I wont even try to debate your trolling statement..

Good day to you

[djfullshred]

Interesting take on this. Personally, I have found that most of the biggest selling pop culture entertainment (music, movies, games), are somewhat nuetered in their creativity, and subject to blandness due to being crafted to appeal to as many people as possible. MW2 is the poster child for appealing to the mass market.

Avatar was the biggest selling movie. Was it better than every other movie that came out? Haha, not bloody likely.

[MorganX]

And all FPS' are cheap knock-offs of Wolfenstein 3D?

[playstation_clan]

halo 3 says hi

[Scotland-The-Brave]

lol hilarious, you are so delusional that you actually believe the garbage spewing out of your mouth

[MadMan00]

See it's all about the Bias...Now if a site like this said something about Gears of war people like you would agree in a hear beat...why? Because people are fanboys or bias...Me on the other hand I don't give a shit about UC2, GoW, Halo, Gears, etc. I wont touch those 5-7 hour games and same old FPS bullshit...Yeah the graphics are good but old school gamers don;t give a shit about that, we are used to it.

RPGs are win, at least you can play it for more then a few days and not sit online and listen to little kids cuss and run around doing the same thing over and over online.

But hey, this is my opinion and I'm 100% sure more people will disagree me, espically since we are on N4G ( AKA Ps3 home land ).

[tplarkin7]

In UC2, a guy hands a gun to Nathan, and Nathan winces at the thought of using it. The guy then comforts poor Nathan by saying that the gun doesn't actually kill. Nathan then reluctantly takes the gun.

If Nathan was in CoD, Captain Price would call him "Man purse" Drake. Because, that's where he keeps his pea shooter.

[sikbeta]

UC2 Won Loads of Awards for Being an AMAZING Game, Pointless article...

[maddhatter123]

lol you got to love fanboys months after it released and they are still feeling bitter and angry like it lauched just yesterday. you clowns can try and downplay it all you want that won't change the fact it is the best game this gen and one of the best all time. over 3.5 million sold, over 150 awards 30+ being goty more then most games even get nominated and 96 on metacritics speaks for itself. funny how super mario galaxy 2 and mass effect 2 can't stay relevant for even a week but uncharted 2 is still on people's mind.

[goflyakite]

Actually I just started to play it again (yesterday) to go after the platinum.

Not at all over rated, so much detail in this game it's almost unbelievable.

[Newtype]

Not overrated, most people still don't know what Uncharted is and who Nathan Drake is.

[Anorexorcist]

Get this troll outta here! *I say that Gotti Style*

The bed underneath your bridge is getting cold.

[jaredhart]

No.

[talltony]

.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

no. now GTFO with this article.

[Deathracer]

Did you even bother to read the article? While I don't agree with everything the author wrote, there are a few things I do agree with on the MP side.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

i dont have to read, it reads me.

(you know im just joking)

[SOAD]

The only flaw with Uncharted 2 is it's too linear for my taste. Other than that, the game is a masterpiece. It's a culmination of the greatest aspects of videogames.

[ico92]

uncharted 2's linearity works in it favor, one of the best aspects of game was its pacing, which is was perfect, would you have rather played the game trying to look for the red key and blue key to open the doors to the next chapter ? it would have ruined the game imo

[SOAD]

The game felt like it was trying to burst out of its linearity. Naughty crafted a beautiful environment for Drake to explore but never let the player out of the narrow path. It got a little annoying in that respect, to see all the beautiful places around me but not be able to explore those areas.

[bnaked]

Linearity is totally important for a great cinematic experience.

Linearity is not negative at all. I love linear games: Half Life 2, Uncharted, COD4, Resistance, Killzone 2, Gears 2, and so on.

[Tony-A]

If you're a game, and you're getting negative articles based on positive feedback, you're doing something right.

On a serious note, I don't think it's overrated, just popular. Most reviews were fair. They talked about the flaws and praised what it did right, which they did almost perfectly (and the best anyone has done so far). Graphically, I still think it's unmatched (God of War and Mass Effect were pretty, but U2 has a distinct look). When it comes to storytelling, it remains on my top. It's not the best story ever told, but it's the best-told story and that's a stone-cold fact*, which I'm sure many can agree with.

In order for it to be overrated in my book, it would have to be scored high based soley on popularity and not actual fun (GTA IV - San Andreas was better, Halo 3 - Halo 2 was better, MW2 - It could have been better).

*Not a fact.

[LordMarius]

Im not even going to bother reading this, anyone that questions Uncharted 2's quality isn't worth my time

[-Alpha]

That's a little close minded. He has the right to question something if he doesn't agree with it. No one is saying Uncharted 2 is a bad game, but it's close-minded to not even acknowledge other opinions exist as if yours is superior, come on dude.

That's the kind of mentality that is very dangerous. UC2 is not perfect, and I don't mind seeing articles criticize a game like that. Personally I don't agree with the article, and I find these writers write stuff for hits and shock value, but I have my own personal gripes with the game and have an opinion as valuable as yours, don't be so rude.

This is why I can understand the title of this article, if people are going to act as if it's only perfect and any other opinion that questions UC2 is inferior or not worth it. That's exactly the kind of problem N4G has. I hope you really don't think that :|

[LordMarius]

There is line between reasonable opinions and just right down stupidity. Why associate with people that have bad taste they just go around ruining, nitpicking everything and owning 360s. Why deal with that type of bile?

@ChilliDemon
Fair point, but it does not always have a positive outcome, as many developers have gone to do sequels that totally missed the mark of what made their previous game great from focusing too much on questioning their quality

Edit: You still havent told me why I have to listen to it or even tolerate it. Its a game, its meant to be enjoyed and give you hours of entertainment. Did Uncharted 2 did that for me? yes. So why exactly do I have to listen to other people's complaints? I know what I experienced, I know what I played. Why should I let others try to ruin it for me? Why do you think its a necessity for me to see the "flaws" of that which entertains me?

[-Alpha]

So, you have to own a 360 to criticize UC2? Look, UC2 is not perfect. Maybe you think it is, but I don't, and many others don't either. There are problems people may have, some personal, some a little more technical. You think it's unreasonable to criticize a game because it's so well loved? Just because someone criticizes it doesn't mean they hate it. Just because they think it's overrated doesn't mean they never liked it. Come on, be a little more open minded, I'm sure you have games you like but have criticisms towards. If you think people having criticisms towards popular games is unreasonable then you need to look in the mirror my friend because you are the one being unfair and unreasonable.

[Wile]

Bubbles for trying Alpha but I don't think you'll get anywhere with this one.

[ChilliDemon]

I'm pretty sure that even Naughty Dog will question UC2's quality since that is how they will make the sequel (if there is one) an improvement over it. Questioning quality is human nature and helped us get from living in caves to our modern lives. Close your mind at your peril.

[DigitalRaptor]

I would find it difficult to consider a game as overrated, when it has won that amount of industry recognised awards and become a close-to unanimous Game of the Year winner.

[life doomer]

is halo....overrated? Fixed

[SOAD]

No.

It may not be your cup of tea, though.

[Monk3y]

how is not HALO series overrated if Uncharted 2 is?

[SOAD]

I don't know. Halo hasn't won very many game of the year awards, has it?

I'm not saying UC2 is overrated.

[Anorexorcist]

but it it doesn't have the pleasure of being accessible on Playstation consoles, so it doesn't really matter to these idiot flaming writers.

"I just don't feel the game lived up to all the hype and praises it received, not to mention there isn't a ton of people playing it anymore compared to other online games."

The online for UC2 was never the pivotal factor that made the game great. It was the graphics and the single-player campaign that did that. So using the Bandwagon fallacy argument is ridiculous and idiotic.

Most games nowadays have either great SP and good/average MP, or good/average SP and great MP. There is hardly ever any room (or specifically development time) to have both at the same level. With saying that, what for "God of War 3...Overrated" To stop by the N4G neighborhood soon.

"I feel this game is very overrated and was just a big hit for a month or so and then just slowly died. Similar to COD MW2, except people still play that online."

LOL...people still play UC2 online, just not as much as MW2. Hyperbole fanboy article confirmed.

So yeah, this was made just for hits by some idiot who constantly acknowledges fanboys in his article. Maybe seeing his reflection on his computer monitor was the reason for that.

[MorganX]

Yes Halo is overrated. Any game that has Lizard men is overrated in my book.

It's fun-factor with regards to MP is not overrated. It's not my cup of tea and I enjoyed it for a while.

[dkblackhawk50]

It may sound overrated but that is because of how many awards this game won etc. To the consumer that doesn't know much about the game, they would think it is overrated because of all of that or it could be the complete opposite. It all depends really on what they live their life's upon.

[Snoogins]

No. It succeeds in both singleplayer as well as its freshman attempt at multiplayer. However I, like many, don't like the changes made to multiplayer where it is now more frustrating than ever. Hopefully, the next title in the series will offer more open areas and different ways to complete each chapter. Also, the next game BETTER HAVE DEDICATED SERVERS! The unfair host advantage and lag makes things quite unbalanced.

I agree with the author only in that I enjoyed the singleplayer experience of Drake's Fortune more than Among Thieves. I disagree with his position that multiplayer is "boring" and not challenging. Multiplayer is exciting (problems with lag aside) and a great challenge if you're playing with a team of competent players against a team of competent players. Sadly, I usually get thrown on the shortbus with people who don't understand teamwork or the objective of the mode. I used to play the game frequently and passionately, though update 1.05 and its subsequent updates lead me to playing less and less. I felt proud the moment all of my months of hard work paid off and I could play as Doughnut Drake; that is, until they recently raised the level cap to 80. As much as I want that 80, I just don't feel the drive to play multiplayer as much to get it.

[Rumor]

what are these things called? computer character graphics? lol

[SOAD]

ascii art.

[peowpeow]

Why you got a disagree is beyond me. Ascii art ftw

[Spenok]

This is awesome, it fits a reply very well.

[RXL]

lol@this shit..

i remember when i was first playing it...

ahh..it was like watching a fucking movie!

i couldn't stop playing it...really...awesome fucking gameplay and story..

classic, CLASSIC Video Game/Entertainment Experience-Uncharted 2 is..yes

[edhe]

"ahh..it was like watching a fucking movie!"

I don't understand why this is praise for a game. It's not like you'd go to the cinema and come out saying:

"It was like reading a book!"

[edhe]

Couple of particularly bright sparks disagreeing there. Wonders will never cease..

[RXL]

because it's not in the same format?..

moving pictures?..words on a page...

wait..are you just acting stupid?..

if not im sorry about your condition...but i don't have the time or the crayons to explain something so simple..

[kasasensei]

For me, one of the best game i ever played.

[-MD-]

I don't think it was overrated. Uncharted 2 was a seriously amazing video game.

[Unicron]

Nope.

[Mr Tretton]

Is Uncharted 2....Overrated?

No.

Next.

[pinkyxyz]

Uncharted 2 had its flaws just like FF7 but what both of these games were able to accomplish supersedes everything else. There is no such thing as a perfect game, but their are games that are so great that they drive the industry forward in their own way. Uncharted 2 accomplished that last year and has earned its place in the gaming hall of fame IMO.

[BrianC6234]

Enough of these morons on nothing sites who write garbage. Don't give them the hits.

[MoneyMeng]

it sure is a whole lot better than that other overrated game..MW2...

the campaign is decent, and the online is amazing or was....now it still fun but is was a whole lot better before all the updates..

[Godmars290]

Aside from people still playing it I mean.

I still play Warhawk. I suck at it, but am I now overhyping it by bring it up?

When people do talk about UC2 its because someone into Halo or Gears is bring it up in comparison to graphics.

[gamingisnotacrime]

i just stoped playing it

[gamingisnotacrime]

and it just blows me away the level of quality and non stop action in all those beautiful locations. Over rated is for games that dont deliver, but U2 deliver a whole new level of gaming excellence
U2 and GoW3 - 2 of te best games this gen by a mile

[Marceles]

After reading the article I wonder what his opinion is about Gears. Ok so you're used to the cover system so it was easy...so I guess MW2 is bad because all of the controls are practically the same as every other FPS.

The story was pretty good in U2, but the dialogue between the characters and the quality voice acting is what really stood out. It stopped really feeling like a game then since the quality was so good. The graphics...I mean...nothing more to say, one of the best looking games ever made on a console.

Uncharted pretty much perfected the best elements in certain games. Sure you can call it not innovative, but every game that's not innovative on PS3 gets bashed...but Uncharted 2 was without a doubt GOTY with the amount of quality and technical achievements done in the game.

[T9X69]

Are you sure you read the article? No where did I say Uncharted 2 was a bad game or it was bad because of the controls, in fact I said it was a good game, because it is.

Do I think Gears is overrated? No, because people don't praise that game and act like its perfect like people do with Uncharted 2. Gears is no where near perfect, it has many flaws and people will admit to that. With Uncharted though, if you say Uncharted 2 is not perfect people get all upset and act like it is, when its really not.

The story was decent, like I said I enjoyed Drakes Fortune's story over Among Thieves but that is just my personal opinion. Yea the voice acting is good, it was in the first game as well, but IMO Killzone 2 looked better than Uncharted 2, mainly because U2 looked more cartoony than real.

Out of all honesty the actual shooting mechanics in the game was average at best, but where Uncharted 2 excels is with its fluid cover system and tons of unique animations. U2 never gets bashed, well maybe a little but VERY often. Mainly for the reason people don't like criticism, and the comments on here prove that. Instead of reading the article (not saying you) they read the title and instantly start bashing me rather than reading what I posted, and see my point of view and where I'm coming from.

Yes Uncharted 2 has the amount of quality for GOTY, I'm not saying the quality of the game is bad, but certain aspect of the game IMO are just average. That doesn't make it a bad game at all, but I do believe it is overrated to a certain extent.

[csreynolds]

So the game isn't for you. The harsh reality of life is, wait for it... some games just don't live up to our expectations. Suck it up and move on with your life. If everyone wrote "this games not as good as everyone says it is" articles like this, no one would get anything done.

Do what the rest of us do; sell the game.

[BannedForNineYears]

Uncharted 2 raped every game in my collection.
It's underrated if anything.
Wanna talk about overrated games?
Look at Halo 3/MW 2.

>_>

[sGIBMBR]

Halo3 overrated?

The game came out in 2007 and is still the 2nd most played game on the 360(played way more than anything on PlayStation) in fact the only game that's played more on consoles period is CoD.

Uncharted 2 is a quality game though, I personally loved it.

P.S. Halo3 is still my favourite ONLINE game.

Hate me all you want!

[Wile]

Totally agree with you and this article. I really enjoyed UC2. But best game ever or this generation...No.

People in here that keep bring up Halo are just trying to deflect the criticism. Is Halo overrated? Yes.

Uncharted 2 is a great game. I completed it twice, put it away, and haven't touched it since. I still play Halo. IMHO that means a lot when considering how great a game is.

It annoys me that people in this thread would rather throw stones at other games instead of simply respecting others opinions with open minds.

Harrykid32, This isn't directed toward you, it's more for others in this thread.

[BannedForNineYears]

I've said this before, I'll say it again.
JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOOD!!!!!!!
Tons of people play Runescape, the game sucks!
Tons of people play WOW, the game still sucks.
v_v

[sGIBMBR]

So what does determine whether a game is good then? Reviews? They're just other people's opinions!

You think Halo sucks, that's your opinion. Other people think Uncharted sucks, that's their opinion. What makes your opinion more valid than theirs?

[menoyou]

cant believe people pay attention to articles like these

[Wile]

because we appreciate diversity in opinion.

[vampstreak]

i dont think so

[Pledius]

the real question is; which one will be best?

GT5 or UC2? or maybe perheps awesome surprise title later on?

[Rocket Sauce]

I just don't like how Drake's Fortune was forgotten, because it's equally kick-ass. I wonder how many people got excited for the sequel without having played the first.

[Wile]

I liked Drake's Fortune story better.

[coolcut135]

u took 6 hours to finish the game ??
the cutsences itself total to abt 1 and a half hours ??
so u finished the gameplay in 4.5 hours ?
LOL

[N4BmpS]

I guess he didn't try to find any of the 100 treasures and the one relic.

[kasasensei]

He is lying, obviously.

[telekineticmantis]

Uncharted 2 got tons of awards throughout the industry and he (just him) thinks it's overrated. So 99 out 100 people think it deserves the praise take out of thatt what you can../

[IHateYouFanboys]

i dont care that this post will result in 50+ disagrees and maybe 2-3 agrees, and me losing all my bubbles, but im gonna say it anyway:

Yes, Uncharted 2 is overrated.

is it an enjoyable game? yes. does it do anything noticeably wrong? no. but does it do anything overly well? no.

its cover system is cumbersome and slow. the graphics are cartoony and NOWHERE near as good as all the bullshots they release. the AI is basically non-existant. the storyline is cliche and by the books, not to mention repetitive. how many times do i have to see nathan or one of the other main characters almost slip off a ledge only to have someone grab them by the arm at the last second? 20+ apparently. in a single playthrough.

the worst thing for me is that its just too linear. now i have nothing against linear games (ie. god of war, alan wake, etc), but most linear games have at least a few branching paths to take to get to the same destination. Uncharted 2 NEVER has more than 1 way to go, and only 1 way to get there. if there was no open door you just had to look for the bright blue pipe up the wall, or the suspiciously hanging out brick path all the way up the side of a building.

its platforming for dummies. its GAMING for dummies basically. its basically a B movie, but with the very bare minimum user interaction and 'choices' thrown in to make it a game. you do a linear A->B->C platform bit, then have a big firefight behind chest-high walls in a big open space, then rinse and repeat. even Gears of War manages to mix it up more.

to me, Uncharted 2 is a 7.5-8/10 game. nothing majorly wrong, but nothing special. warrants a hire and playthrough, but not worth my money.

flame away PS3 fanboys, flame away.

[Veneno]

Lol, UC 2 always makes the bots cry so much.

[NeloAnjelo]

You don't have to be a fanboy to flame this article. So you think this game is mediocre. Thats fine. However, don't call people that like or defend the game fanboys.. Infact you sound more like a fanboy, which is ironic because your name is "IHateYouFanboys"

[TurboBlevi]

In Gears of War, you run straight and shoot. Then they trick you with choose "R or L".

In Call of Duty, you literally run straight and shoot. Maybe sabotage something or save someone.

In Halo... nevermind, read "Call of Duty".

In Mario, you run right.

I don't see your point.

:EDIT: Oh, and I may remind you that in none of these games is there ever real story, or character, progression that you speak of.

[bjornbear]

out of most of the comments in here, you're the first idiot to actually flame and bash anyone or anything

you are the only fanboy in here

hypocrite, go do something better with your time than write a meaningless wall of text trying to down play a game that regardless of what you think is better than you could ever admit.

[Subzero200x]

It's more than that the controls are too poor to play it properly, and i never had that problem with tomb raider.

[djfullshred]

Take all the reviews and do an average. Uncharted 2 gets a 96.41% ranking based upon 78 reviews from gamerankings.com. Everyone has their own taste, but you can't dispute a rating, and call it an over-rating because your taste does not agree.

I prefer to avoid using terms like "overrated" when discussing matters of subjective taste. You can't defend that claim if the majority of people gives something a high rating. From a purely logical standpoint, it is invalid to make that claim.

[labwarrior]

i have ever played

5/10 is also pushing it, since some 5/10 games are actually far more interesting than Uncharted 2, which is a boring shooter that barely lasts an afternoon

Also is 100% linear, always in some coriddors and extremely reharsed

[YouAndSpaghetti]

and Alan Wake would be 20/10 for you wouldn't it, fanboy trash.

[N4BmpS]

@lab: You know what you said was completely and utterly stupid right? The only reason you said that was to make someone mad and mostly for shock value. But not me, you see I have this gift enables me to see through BS and losers, you know like yourself. If you can't give a legitimate reason of why you don't like the game, which btw means you have to actually play it then don't comment about it, simple as that.

[Mwaan]

I really don't see how its any better than any other cover-based, 3rd person shooter. People try to say its the story that separates it from other games but I felt like the story was its weakest component. There's almost no character development. All you know about Drake is that he's a treasure hunter that's read a book or two. They introduce the main bad guy by having him kill one of his own men for some frivolous reason, but then when Drake is handed over to him on 3 different occasions, he doesn't kill him. That drove me crazy.

[TurboBlevi]

You're a fucking retard.

[biggame901]

It isn't a perfect game by any means, but it's among the best in its genre, and one of the most technically sound, polished games to have been created. I don't think that qualifies as overrated.

[ZILLA]

UNCHARTED 2 is the GREATEST game EVER made.if the epic story wasnt enough,the online is complete insanity!if you own a PS3 you must get this game to see what power this console has!

[MonopolyRSV]

Ever notice how about 3 different times in UC2 you end up pushing some cart in order to get to a higher ledge? Once in the beginning with Flynn, once in the train depot, and once in the jungle with the 2 girls. It's a high production title and a really good game, but it has it's filler moments.

[shysun]

Two words... HELL NO!!

[N4BmpS]

I was going to leave a pretty lengthy comment but I'll just say No, it isn't. Many people say the same thing about Mario, Halo, GTA, and other game changers like those. With great respect comes great hate. Ugh the gaming community sucks.

[Garnett]

UC2 is damn good, and the characters are actually realistic, not a cybornetic warrior spartan, or a bald screaming maniac who yells because his family was killed.

Drake is probably the most realistic video game character, along with the characters in Heavy Rain and even Splinter Cell.

The only thing i hated about UC2 was the awful multiplayer, its along the lines of Gears multiplayer, I guess TPS shouldnt have competitive multiplayer.

[Veneno]

UC2 is a landmark title for all time, if you can't see this then we're all better off without you. the only thing missing for me was ---spoilers ahead!!!!--- a hot sex scene with Drake and clhoe or Elena, or one with each. For the story, it would have done a lot more to build the three way romantic tension. there don't gotta be like a nipple or ass shot or anything, but just show enough to tell the audience that Drake does have strong feelings for both women and that sooner or later decisions need to be made.

[TheBand1t]

No. Though Uncharted 2 wasn't my GOTY for 2009.

That spot is for Demon's Souls.

[TheBreezyBB]

If Uncharted 2 is overrated, then how about COD:MW2, Halo3, GTAIV?

well let's not compare games.

1st: he said he finished the game in 6 hours?!! say what?! with no challenge what so ever?! say what again?!! Mr. obvious, was probably playing it on easy mode, pretending it was a COD game where he just aim and shoot and move on. He didn't not follow the story or try to engage in it, in any kind of way.

2ND: He is saying that the Multiplayer is repetitive?!! really? i didn't know that an online mode offers something different every-time you play... you shoot, move, shoot, Hide, shoot, Etc...

3rd: I don't think he wrote this article ( or whatever that was ) for nothing more then to get more hits on the website.

How about, we enjoy the games the way they supposed to be, Not the way you want them to Be.

[Lionsguard]

Am I the only one really sick of these "Is " " overrated? articles? What is the need? I bet this guy would of killed his entire family to play Uncharted and now a few months down the line after playing the game to death and getting new games, this author feels the need to go back and proclaim that its overrated? Damn why not just write up an article about every game you played and ask if it was underrated or overrated? who the hell damn cares? I bought it and played it for a good 2 months, hell I played the single player FOUR times IN A ROW, Consecutively! Right after I beat it, I played it again!! Then I played the Multiplayer for 2 months and then new games came out and I moved on. Yet I don't feel the need to go back and re-judge a game because I don't play it anymore.

[NeloAnjelo]

The biggest overrated game this gen is MW2...

Its the Daikatana of modern consoles. Ok no that was harsh.

Uncharted 2 had universal appeal. It was liked by many. It was simple... was it perfect? No. It was certainly a hell of alot better than MW 2 which got rave reviews by the way.

[faraany3k]

I tell you what, halo3 is overrated.

[PSjesus]

I mean srsly UC2 is top notch while other exclusive are just hyped
for example MGalaxy2 played it, collected 120 stars and so far i,m looking
for any feature that reviewers gave it 10.
the Same goes to ME2 which i love but comparing it to UC2 is like
comparing Gears to RE4.....

[TurboBlevi]

Like the title says.
I don't believe Uncharted 2 is over-rated. In any way of the word.
It does everything it's supposed to do, and it does it in style.
Likeable characters, interesting plot, and over the top action scenes that put you on the edge of your seat. Not to mention it has amazing animations, and graphics that are easy on the eyes.

Every time I go from playing Modern Warfare 2, RDR, or any other game for that matter. I am wowed by Uncharted 2. The single player is intense every time I play it, Nathan Drake is just as lovable as the last time, and the visuals are stunning. I honestly don't see how any other console game can top it. I don't even know how Naughty Dog, themselves, are going to top Uncharted 2!

Mind you I just played Uncharted 2 today online with it's Co-op mode and enjoyed the hell out of it. Finished all 3 Co-op missions on Hard with my brother and my friend and got a trophy for it. The Seige, Survival, and Gold Rush Co-op modes are all incredibly fun to play too. And I've played them all many times and am yet to be bored by them.

The things I see them needing to improve tho are, more Co-op Missions (WAY more, ie Splinter Cell Co-op), Mix Co-op & Competitive MP Medallion trophies ("Back At Ya", "Kneel Before Z"-style trophies attainable thru co-op), Competitive Multiplayer, More Weapons (much more), More Customization options, more "perks", and maybe more map Hazards (those who have played the multiplayer would remember the helicopter flythru or tank drive by).

[babis1974]

UNCHARTED 2 IS A GREAT GAME.EVERYONE KNOWS THIS EVEN THE XBOX OWNERS!!!

[babis1974]

THE MOST Overrated GAME OF ALL TIME UNTILL NOW IS MW2

[Sony Fiend]

I had a blast playing it, like I haven't had in a long ass time, nothing else matters.

People saying that is not 'perfect' are implying that somewhere there is a perfect game out there but thats a lie.

[csreynolds]

People who are saying it's not perfect are saying it's not perfect. Lol

[csreynolds]

To the author: the game's brilliant. No, it's not perfect, but show me a game that is. Yes, it got stupidly high scores, but it deserved them.

Uncharted 2 is pretty, fun, and popular. Maybe it's not the game for you, so suck it up and deal with it.

[bacrec1]

It sure isnt.

[treeson47]

uncharted 2 was one of the most solid and complete games i've played in my lifetime so far. not only was the single player a complete experience, but the multiplayer was more than enough to keep me coming back for more. they integrated singleplayer, multiplayer and co op beautifully. not to mention the graphics, score, and writing were all top notch. they even included cheat codes and unlocks giving you even more incentive to play. naughty dog is easily one of the most underrated developers given that they've been with us since crash bandicoot. i remember when i first got my playstation back when i was about 6 or 7 years old, and i still remember the first time i played that game. as far as i'm concerned, uncharted 2 is just another moment in videogame history for me that defines what true gaming is. if anyone honestly has anything bad to say about this game they're obviously not an owner of a playstation 3 or had the opportunity to play the game themselves. i still remember when me and my friend first played uncharted 1 back when it came out on release day, and we were blown away, we actually would recommend it to people in the videogame store because of how blown away we were with the blend of classic platform gameplay and next generation graphics. we played through the first game in one sitting, it took us a whole day and night, but we were literally glued to the screen. and i can't remember the last time i marathon'd a game that much. when uncharted 2 was released, thats when i bought a ps3 for myself. if you don't own a ps3, befriend someone who does and do yourself a favor and play through the game so you can have it as a memory in your gaming history. and before you peg me as a sony fanboy. i've owned all consoles and a pc since i was in 8th grade. i love all gaming platforms, and i can honestly say that uncharted 2 is one of the best out there.

[OooSheeet]

IMO Uncharted 2 is one of the most overratedgames ever! People see the good graphics and overlook the repetitive linear gameplay. The online co-op was good but there just weren't enough co-op playable levels. The online team death match modes were the worst form of "Run & Gun" and the weapons were rediculously unbalanced, shoot a guy 8x in the face with an AK and he hits you once with a shotgun guess who dies?

How about some free-roaming in an exploring game? Or is that just too radical? Good graphcs alone aren't enough!

[Rybnik]

No it is not. Unlike GTA4 and Halo3, Uncharted 2 is still looked at and talked about as one of the greatest games of the current generation almost 9 months later...I swear these "articles".. here are the next likely couple headlines:

"Does Uncharted 2 have too much content?"
"Is uncharted 2 too cinematic?"

Seriously, write something worthwhile, or newsworthy. PLEASE!!

[bjornbear]

yes...and to answer their question:

no, actually it was underrated until it came out.

i think U2 is one of the few games that received the credit it was due! =) numerous GoTY awards and universal acclaim as one of the best designed videogame narrative experiences ever =)

still no Deus Ex though imo xD but thats hard to beat...i have a thing for open world RPG FPS games, especially amazing ones for their time =3

[arjman]

Uncharted 2 is the one of those rare games which has a brilliant story and it destroys almost every other PS3 game in terms of graphics (a nice bonus)

[cobpswii3600]

Did anyone actually read the article? It really makes no sense and is based solely on nothing but an opinion. The ending is the worse part! Saying how it's repetitive. If thats true then I guess Halo, COD, Warhawk, MAG, Counterstrike, TF2 ect... are all repetitive! I play it everyday so... and then it says the game lasted a month and no one really cared about it after that. If thats the case then explain all the GOTY awards. This article is a waste. Pointless...

[PandaJenkins]

The word overrated is so terrible because everyone who doesen't like something that is hugely popular gets that word given to it by them, but then at the same time the fans act like such jerks most of the time it just makes things worse. Really whether the game is overrated or not is subjective just like almost everything that comes through on this site and gets labeled like a fact -_-. I really got to agree with what Alpha Male was saying earlier in the comments he put things really well.

Would I personally say it is overrated? Not sure. It was definitely quite a good game but it was not in my top 5 games of last year. I loved the story and visuals, but felt like the gameplay was quite basic (though it was fun) and the online just didn't click with me. It definitely deserves a lot of praise though.

[vsr]

Who can deny??????????

[earbus]

Yes it is overated got it 2 days ago as i got sick of the hype around it im only 5 levels in due to playing alot pc lately i havent been blown away once its just tomb raider its easy for a game to look good in confined space, its better than tomb raider dont get me wrong but i think the poor graphics of ps2 its a huge difference thats why fans think its so great no ps2 block graphics.

[cobpswii3600]

I believe you./sarcasm

[Kakihara]

By 'confined space' do you mean the Himalayas? ... Earth?? Anything other than a sandbox??? Did other game developers purposefully choose not to make their linear games in much more enclosed spaces look anywhere near as good as some kind of design choice??

Also while I dont want to be one of those people who ignores an argument and concentrates solely on grammar you should understand that when you write like this in one long run on sentence it doesnt make you sound like the best judge of what is and what isnt a worthwhile artistic experience it makes you sound like a seven year old girl whos had too many sugar treats and nobody is going to to hey this is a really intelligent person and I should listen to what they have to say they are going to think oh god another dumb kid whos comment i have to scroll through.

[blazBlue]

No. But this article is full of it. The same could be asked for every game that comes out.

[lightningsax]

Not even clicking and going there. This article's about an old topic that's been addressed before. In fact, it's really just a blogger stating his opinion, hoping to get fanboy hits. Dumb as rocks.

[Coke-a-Cola]

Are not for everyone .

[hesido]

No.

[theonlylolking]

No, every time I play that single player it amazes me that most movies are not as good as this games SP.

[AliTheBrit19]

Yes!

Something I've always said

I own the game, I LOVE the game because it is a brilliant video game, far above the average we get.

But it always was overrated, I feel like puking every time I see "best game ever made"

Its a great game, but no innovation, nothing unique, just a solid play through, never got into the Multiplayer myself.

[wissam]

Is halo 3 and gears of war overrated. is mass effect 2 overrated. U2 is a perfect game to me.

[Dayngls]

no. how bout instead of making these stupid articles every other day you play the game to have to your question answered.

[hoops]

"Is Uncharted 2....Overrated?"

IMO no. It deserves the praise. Its one of the few standouts this generation with the likes of Mass Effect 2.
Those two games imo deserve all the praise.

[Tikicobra]

No.

[Lipscomba]

No!

[Grodd]

My first playthough of Uncharted 2 only took me a little over 6 hours. No F-ing way.
Impossible!

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Best Game Ever MAde simply...

[Grodd]

I doubt he played more than one online game. If he played at all.

Uncharted 2 deserves the praise as one of the best games of all time. Best campaign ever.

[Spaghett]

Combat isn't that great to me. Especially that part in the train where your fighting that one dude that takes five hundred bullets to kill when everyone else takes ten.

[Xfanboy]

But instead it gets 160 comments!!
Fanboys are lost!!

[diego750]

NO...maybe just online, its very good but if you have a slow connection you are screwed, like me but it bothers me that i can easily play any other online game except for this!

[DoucheVader]

So Uncharted 2 was overrated because this guy couldn't adjust his difficulty settings?

I never play any game on easy anymore because I don't want to beat it in 5-8 hours.

He is complaining about 10,000 - 20,000 people being online at once for MP. What an idiot. 10K-20K player base are decent numbers.

How does this crap get passed on N4G?

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Overrated.Technically an achievement but I agree with the opinion of overrated for my own reasons,it's only an opinion.
By comparison I found BatmanAA,RDR,Prototype,etc overrated and Warhawk,WKC,Infamous and KZ2 underrated....
If the concept of free willed individualism doesn't appeal to you then neither will my thoughts on UC2.
Fair enough.

[jalen247]

Compared to GOW III...yes
Compared to every other game...no

:)

[anman786]

correct in all aspects

[anman786]

no because im playing as lazaravic right now against lazaravic, its funny AND awesome

[Homicide]

No but Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War 3 are.

[Claudinho69]

should your mother had dropped you on yr head

[Anon7349]

It's overrated, not because it's bad but because people praise the game like it's ground breaking or revolutionary.

For starters, it's just a TPS. There's nothing special about it besides platforming elements. It really add nothing new to the industry gameplay wise.

It's linear and repetitive. Linear platforming? Yeah that's fun. All the climbing in the game is pretty much the same besides different textures and the order they used the pipes, bricks, shingles, Rope, ice, etc

The puzzles felt forced and they're crappy. There's no thinking involved all you do is match the symbols with the book.

It's reeeaaally linear, like watching movie. (I don't know why people praise Uncharted 2 for it's "cinematic experience)

The bosses sucked, especially the last one which was just you running around in a circle a few times while blind firing.

Sure it may have the best graphics on a console, but the gameplay is really sub-par. People that say this is the best game this gen are insane. Heck, the PS3 already has a TPS that's much, much superior to Uncharted 2. (MGS4)

I think people have short-term memory loss, because Uncharted 2 is pale in comparison to MGS4 in terms of gameplay. Plus Vanquish is coming out on the PS3 soon which is also going to be another fantastic TPS.

So please, stop praising uncharted 2 like it's the next Super Mario Bros, because it isn't.

[FalconR289]

If any game is overrated then it has to be these two games "Grand Theft Auto 4" and "Halo 3".

[kasasensei]

"T9X69 1d 2h ago
So I'm lying about beating Uncharted 2 in a little over 6 hours because you didn't beat it that fast? Interesting. Honestly dude the game isn't that long at all.

kasasensei 2h ago
Re:
Hello T9
First, i think you are a liar, and second, if you had run what is certainly one of the best games of the twenty last years, i think you just do not deserve to play it.
There are fast food games, like gears of war, that you complete and soon after forget, and there are games like uncharted2, that lets you with an big bag of unforgettable souvenirs for the rest of your gamer life.
Running such a good game is just a crime. :p
have a nice day.

T9X69 1h ago
Re:
Its funny you mention that because after I beat Uncharted 2 SP I forgot about it because it wasn't that great, yet Drakes Fortune I played through at least 3 times. The gameplay was very generic and boring which is why the online fails at being anything close to competitive, Gears on the other hand is a very competitive game, Uncharted 2 is not. Its also not even close to being one of the top games in the past 20 years lol not even the top 20.

You can think I'm lying all you want, but the game just isn't that hard or long which is why I beat it so quickly. Maybe your just not that good at video games and it took you longer, but for me it was one of the easiest games I've ever played.
