This describes Uncharted perfectly to me. It feels so 'manufactured' that it turns me off. Everything in it is good, but I'd argue nothing except the graphics and voice acting is top notch. Uncharted's combat is nothing special to me. It's good, great even but nothing about it feels memorable.

I would have definitely seen that happening if he was reviewing the game but I'm glad it's Brad who is reviewing it but during GOTY awards, I'm pretty sure that exact statement will come up.

Im sorry Shameless but I think you should quit gaming if you can't see why Uncharted is one of the best things about this generation. Name these other games that have superior shooting mechanics. I love RE4 but come on, you can't even move and shoot and nothing ever shoot backs at you. Its a totally different game and cannot be compared. Uncharted is about taking you on adventure. A roller coaster of pure awesomeness. I watched the launch trailer and literally had goose bumps. I've been gaming since the 80's and this is what I dreamed the future of gaming would look like. A game that goes beyond what a video game can be. Uncharted is at the top of the mountain right now and at this moment nothing can topple it. Whether it be the story, the gameplay, the graphics, or the characters Naughty Dogs deliver these elements at the highest quality I have ever seen. As for an identity crisis I think you're are completely wrong. Video games can be more than stats and multi-player. It should be able to bring you into their world and care about whats happening on the screen. Uncharted, to me, is that summer blockbuster movie that cannot be missed. Its my Dark Knight of this gen. November 1st will be glorious!

If you went the extra mile and crammed a "visceral gameplay" in there it would be a 9.8!

The worst thing about Uncharted 3 is that it's almost too good.

Kandinsky · Oct 20, 2011

Man ND are incredible, can't wait till this generation is over and they can finally move to something else, Uncharted games do nothing for me.

Hmm, the cargo plane was chapter

and the desert village is

19

Constantly running,climbing tall ass buildings, fighting all the time and gripping even the most slippery ledges and you don't think he is that ripped? wut

Ya seriously, what? For all the platforming he does, he would HAVE to have a freakishly amazing core. A six-pack is something that he would definitively have...

eternaLightness · Oct 20, 2011

He's gonna take off his shirt and finally come out to Sullivan.

SolidSnakex · Oct 20, 2011

It's been two years since we left Nathan Drake yammering on and on about clowns, but the wait for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is almost over. In fact, so is the wait for the IGN review. Monday -- October 24 -- we're going to post our Uncharted 3 review at 9 a.m. Pacific time (Noon Eastern, 5 p.m. UK, 3 a.m. Tuesday AU).

Having threesomes with Elena and Chloe. Unlockable co-op mode I'm sure.

You can't leave IGN open in your cellphone and refresh it ninja style at 9 a.m.?

Edit: Ahh... I guess you mean that you won't be able to be here reading and commenting. Carry on.

Greg · Oct 20, 2011

I think my only issue with the series so far is that the platforming is too easy and there's no risk/rush that comes from it. The 'exploration' parts end up being nothing more than nice set pieces to look at while you jam X and hold the stick in different directions.

I know I'll love the game regardless, but I haven't seen any footage that indicates otherwise for UC3.

Yeah that's what I'll do. I'll try the Gaf web app.

Greg made his top 10 games of all time list after that and actually put Uncharted 2 ahead of ME2.

pharmboy044 · Oct 20, 2011

IGN has been giving out a lot 9.5's, would they give a 10 to UC3? (If the game deserved it)

And, anyone know who is doing the review?

rhino4evr · Oct 20, 2011

We've known for a while that the web embargo was up this Monday. It's gonna be a long week

No, a 9/10 means it's really mediocre.

The point of a score is to give context. That is why scores exist. The score is the context. You're thinking about it completely backwards.
