interview with all the voice actors/actresses

Notice how all the real voice actors look like their animated counter parts. Strange.
Sidenote: can we embed youtube videos? For some reason, I thought we could.

Yap, insert the Youtube video id into the [ yt ] tag. Make sure there is no whitespace between the yt start and end tags.

Tamer but still great:
Just this : About halfway through, the game almost comes to a halt so that Nathan Drake can wander around a village where nobody speaks English and he is unable to run or use any of his small but imaginative range of gymnastic abilities. There is nothing to do but stare at the scenery: children and livestock scurrying across sun-baked mud-tracks crisscrossed by shadows cast from clothes fluttering back and forth on washing lines, the perfect transition of bright daylight to dark interiors, and a spectacular mountain range rising beyond the rooftops in panorama.

Beside technical aspects, what amazes me is the extremely forgiving treatment that Uncharted 2 is receiving from the media. In a generation with frozen reviews and scheptical critics with others "heavy" PS3 exclusives (to name a few, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Resistance 2 or the cruel obliteration of Lair, not a great game, nor the nightmare several sites described it), this enthusiasm makes me feel lost.
I wonder if the other games were really so "meh" or is somethin more related with momentum in a gaming platform, that makes writers more confident when they have to point out a really good game.
Maybe the terrible question that the reviewer of a game asks himself before signing the article is "and what if this title doesn´t sell REALLY well?" In fact, the criticism of "fan" mass and the phenomenom called "haterism" -more related with oscurantism and absence of reasoning that with any other thing- could be like a boomerang floating direct to the prestige of the writer.
Uncharted 2 (and GTA IV, and Assassin´s Creed) are games that definitely would sell well. And PS3 seems to have momentum. So if a praise has to be raised, you´re "free" to do so.
I suspect that Uncharted 2 IS really what all the press is saying; I only try to imagine what would have been the veredict a year ago, with no PS3 redesing and no readjustment in price.
Greetings.

Which isn't actually talking about U2, but instead talking about how reviewers may be swayed for/against a platform. So if you want to discuss this, please create a thread for it in the general Console forum.

I´ll try to focus myself in the game...
I think that the general consensum that must be done to assing the calification of a review is in touch with the genre of the game in question.
Uncharted is an adventure game, a third person game with a heavy action (shooter, to be more precise) component and a well done mix of plataforming and exploration, on top of a superb ambientation and one of the best techs in the market.
But Uncharted is an adventure game at the end... and I suspect "action-adventure games" are in a genre that tends to attrition in prestige. I don´t know why, but I thing an adventure game fights in a league that is far from the absolut excellence a "ten" or a "A+" assigns.
You see... There are not "Authors" behind it... There´s no a popular face behind... No Kojima, no Yamauchi, no Meir, etc. It´s just a game, an action adventure game, and the joy of the press makes me wait the title without breath.
I have to download the public beta.

I can't say about the single player yet but the multiplayer demo is the best multi I've ever played on consoles. For one, it's very addicting. As soon as I came home yesterday I download/installed it and played for the remainder of the day. It's that good! I started off at level 1 and I'm now at 18!
Also, the graphics... Oh my god the graphics. This has to be the best looking game I've ever played. The art style is absolutely breathtaking, the textures are some of the best looking I've ever seen (if not the), and the animations are above the best I've seen. Characters move so realistically, it's insane. I'm also loving the object based motion blur - it really adds to the whole CG look of the game.
October 13 is going to be a long wait...

Wow Donald Duck sure does speak oddly.
I'm not sure if you could put "Action Adventure" games below other genres...would be odd. But even if it was, perhaps games are marked within their genre - and if it's the best of something it gets the perfect score.
Still I have a feeling Uncharted 2 holds itself well above most games in other genres.
Plus I don't think U2 really fits itself comfortably into a genre. Third Person Shooter, Action Adventure, Platformer...
I am going to adjust my expectation a few notches down. The reviewers expected an experience similar to U1, so they were pleasantly surprised.
The new players sure level up fast. It's more difficult to pwn them by a wide margin now.
