GamersDigest: Uncharted 2 Review

GamersDigest writes;

"Just under two years ago, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was released for the PlayStation 3, and it caused a storm, most notably for the cinematic experience it provided.

The game was not without its flaws of course, and developer Naughty Dog certainly had their work cut out tweaking the mechanics while maintaining the experience that the original provided.

Did they manage to pull it off? Well, you're about to find out."

9.9.... Lol Just give it a 10. I can accept 9.5 even 9.6, but 9.9!!!!!!!!

Gamer41115304d ago

10/10 would be perfect, I guess 9.9 is as close as you can get!

Cronnie5304d ago

Well yeah, I guess no game can be perfect, 9.9 is pretty damn close though...

Microsoft Xbox 3605304d ago

Doesn't matter. U2 is GOTY material and everyone knows it.

Lifendz5304d ago

Hilary Goldstein's review of GTA4. While we may disagree about the game, he didn't waver on giving it a 10. C'mon guy, don't be petty over a .01 of a point. Just give it the friggin point to make it a 10.

Serial_EDX5304d ago (Edited 5304d ago )

Quick some some make it part of a math problem so we can round it to 10. XD

Sarcasm5304d ago

This is where we can argue, why not just do a 10. What in the flying carpet is the difference between a 9.9 and a 10. Stupid reviewer.

KingME5304d ago

I mean come on, if you're gonna give a game a 9.9 that means you think it's perfect but you're just to chicken sh!t to give it a 10 because they are worried about what people may say.

They should have just given the game a 10.

"repetitive combat with waves of enemies"

Wow... considering there are only like 3 sections where "waves" of enemies attack, it makes me think of they even reviewed the actual game. Most of the time everything is a balanced split between puzzles, action sequences, cutscenes, exploration, gun fights, and of those few "waves" sections.

jjohan355304d ago

I've never seen a 9.9 score before. For some reason it looks like a higher score than a 10/10 lol!

Damn if only the had a nude scene of Elena they would have gotten that 0.1 point/sarcasm

On a serious note why are people still reading reviews? go out and buy this great game. :)

Perjoss5304d ago

Sevir045304d ago

Uncharted 2 is by far the best game released this gen... and i'm glad Naughty Dog made it for PS3 ^^ sony must be glad they have this team under there belt, These guys know how to do games, and thanks from bungie and infinity ward for helping with online and such, you guys did an awesome job in making this game the success it is.

PimpHandHappy5304d ago

on my first run

AMAZING

best game i have ever played and i have been playing games for 22 years

boodybandit5304d ago (Edited 5304d ago )

I am on chapter 16 and I can already say without a shadow of a doubt I agree with you. This is the best game I have ever played and I have been gaming for 33 years. <- man I'm getting old.

I will definitely play this game over and over and over again.

Sarcasm5304d ago

I'm 84% into getting all the trophies.

Yes.

I never cared about trophies, nor did I ever care about platinum ones.

But for some reason I'm addicted to Uncharted 2 and gathering all the trophies makes me happy, mostly because the game is just fun and the cinematic explosions never get old. And the cutscenes are so well done I can watch them a million times.

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

P_Bomb1451d ago (Edited 1451d 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_Mal1451d 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_Bomb1450d ago (Edited 1450d 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.

MadLad1452d 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.

Profchaos1451d ago (Edited 1451d 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

Rimeskeem1451d ago

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

Movefasta19931451d 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.
