Games Asylum has given a perfect score to Uncharted. The site is listed at Gamerankings and this is what the reviewer said :-
" Despite the game's length, there's a bit of replay value thrown in. As you collect hidden treasures throughout the game and unlock achievements (along the lines of "100 headshots" or "kill 10 people in a row with a stick whilst hanging from a ledge"), a variety of rewards are unlocked – there's basic stuff like Making Of documentary videos and alternative costumes, as well as unlockable weapons, infinite ammo, alternative rendering modes and some interesting fast and slow motion modes. The game's so much damn fun, that when I completed it first time around, I restarted the game playing it in fast mode, watching Nathan jump between ledges like a hyperactive monkey, occasionally switching to slow motion mode for the shoot-outs like the cheating bastard that I am. The last time I even remotely bothered with all that unlockable crap was with Goldeneye on the N64, which possibly shows how satisfying this game is. On the downside, there's no multiplayer player mode, but then this isn't a first person shooter and I didn't hear people making the same complaints about Mario or Tomb Raider. It's just a really excellent single player game, without all of that silly online fluff."
November 19 marks 15 years since the release of the Uncharted game that started it all.
I hope they don’t make another until the end of the ps5 lifecycle…. Show us a better jungle
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."
KeenGamer: "Which Uncharted game is the best? Uncharted is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking and consistently great franchises in gaming. For both long-time fans and newcomers to this action-adventure classic, here’s a ranking of the franchise’s four main games."
No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.
UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita
Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.
U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.
I'd rate it as the following.
1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)
2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)
3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)
4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)
I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.
uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.
I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.
I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.
Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.
is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
Another 10!!! Can't wait to see this parlayed into the overal scores... "ha" What a joke! this game has got over 23 9 + scores and only 15 have been added. what a pile of Donkey ****!
gah! i need to get home to unlock all this stuff!! (and i still have to beat the game).. its great that you can implement "cheats" on the fly via the pause menu. i wanna play as doughnut Nate!!
hahaha.. frank lampard goes tomb raiding.. oh man.. i love english websites.. (you know, from england)
in the end, its a well written review, but the ripten one goes more in depth and is generally a better read.
to see that Uncharted still isn't above 90% on those stupid, broken ranking systems. i know it's getting old by now but you're in denial if you don't believe Microsoft has control over those ranking websites. CNET = Microsoft. it's funny how all the 10's for Gears, Mass Effect, Bioshock and Halo mainly came from Xbox sources. tsk tsk.
