I'm not saying you should take them as gospel, but when the only other console games to acheive the 10/10 honour are Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA IV, and Super Mario Galaxy 2, I have a feeling I'm going to get my money's worth.

And Uncharted will always be about the single player. The supposedly massive upgrade in multiplayer is just a bonus.

Also, the Uncharted series is done by Naughty Dog, who focus just on this series for the PS3. I'm not sure how much reputation they'd have with a review site like you say Activision does.

Sweet.

Welp... I just finished the campaign. (I pre-loaded the game, then used a Korean proxy to fool the date check into unlocking the game when I got home from school today... it's all the rage right now)

I just gotta say... Not the best campaign ever, but there were some good highlights. The Russian missions were great. The jet mission was ok. And there were moments here and there. The ending seemed a bit anti-climatic and rushed. But overall, it was fun to play.

Graphics were amazing throughout, but one thing that put me off is there is a CONSTANT lense flare, no matter what. It gets in the way at some parts. I also didn't much like the whole "interact with the cutscene" thing that requires you to press certain buttons at certain times, or else you fail the mission. The idea is nice, but it doesn't really add anything, imo.

Anyway, now that it's out of the way, I can focus on MP. There are populated servers up right now so I guess I'll try to get in them. At 12AM, I guess all hell is going to break loose, so I may as well get a short head start.

See ya on the battlefield.

This is my biggest pet peeve. People always complain about companies playing it safe and releasing the "same" game.

Not much changed between 1 and 2? They added a substantial multiplier mode(co op too), massive upgrade in graphics and presentation, new campaign, new voice work, new score, new art direction, new motion capture, fixed controls,

What more could you want for a sequel, you want them to make it into a kart racing game(actually sounds cool) or something?

I don't know if you pay attention to the japanese game market, but they've been making the same exact games for years now-pokemon, monster hunter, megaman __, street fighter.

Point out to me a franchise that made a total change between games.

It's not even that your point is invalid, it's just something I've noticed a lot in game press/forums and doesn't make sense to me.

I burnt myself out with Vice City. San Andreas, 4, and Red Dead did about nothing for me.

So, how's BF3? I'm on the fence whether or not I'll be buying this(PC), for the multiplayer of course.
