zigfried's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves review

No. I was willing to read (and respond) to an article to humor your request, but I'm not big on watching video reviews or spending that much time humoring people. I enjoy spending some of my time actually playing games, y'know?

As do we all, but as a journalist I thought it might be of interest to you (especially when such lofty statements are being made). Your review does start with "Much ado has been made of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves". Guess not. I'll let you get back to your RPG's :). Thanks for the responses.

Yeah, and his shooters, and brawlers, and hentai, and simulations, and side scrollers...

... Zig's covered pretty much every genre there is to cover. To make such a quippy remark doesn't help your case.

MHG, you've made some fairly wild implications and accusations about this review and have spent a great deal of time (and space) backing them up with evidence you've often claimed is indisputable. I don't want to sound disappointed that this little fanboy tirade of yours is coming to an end, but to go through all of this just to say that Zig "has a right to his opinion" (which, I'll remind you, goes against some of what you've been saying here) seems more than a bit suspect.

Fack.

Okay, I finally beat the gorilla but now I'm stuck at the part where Drake has to fight Abraham Lincoln's ghost. How the hell are you supposed to damage him? And how can you keep that stupid chick from being shafted by Lincoln's ferret minions? I swear, they need to improve the AI in the sequel...

Space...I have NO idea what the hell you are talking about.

MoreHonestGamer I've read a fair few Uncharted 2 reviews, actually. I really liked Tom Bramwell's at Eurogamer, and Dan Lipscombe's at the site I run, Resolution Magazine. Both were eloquent, convincing and thorough, and both awarded the game 10/10. Have a read of those. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Both mention the same sorts of flaws, but arrive at a hugely positive conclusion.

I've acknowledged your comments about Zig's review making comments that lie outside the norm. My question stems from that: what's the problem? You've already said he's entitled to his opinions. So how come we've been arguing for so long?

Man. I said I wasn't get further into this.

ELPRESADOR says U2 is one of the greatest games ever, so topic over. Zig loses.

It's okay, Lewis, no one really thought you would stay away.

You know MoreHonestGamers, there is a really simple solution to your problem. If you disagree with Zig so much, then how about you write your own review of the game?

I don't see how you can carry on so about other people's opinions to games if you're not publishing your own work with your own opinions.

You think this game deserves a perfect score? Then do something about it instead of complaining about what other people have done.

I think MHG departed for waters which disagree with him less.

In a sense, it's a shame. If he would actually channel all that energy he used in this thread into something constructive, he might actually amount to something.

Oh well. At least now I know I can safely publish my 8/10 Madden review I've always wanted to do.

Well, that was interesting. So what's this Uncharted thing you guys are all talking about? Bet it doesn't run on my PS2.

Finally read the review after all this hootinany.

but the concept of large, empty spaces with no enemies and frequent climbing across rocks, climbing across gears, and climbing over statues does not translate to an exciting video endgame

To be honest, I'm surprised more points were docked for a weakness this big.

I almost get the impression this is a good "movie", but perhaps an average or slightly above average video game. With that, I think the score of 8 is more that generous.
