IS IT BETTER THAN:
GEARS OF WAR 2
Yes. The games are almost poles apart. Gears is all about shooting and taking down massive bosses, Uncharted 2 isn’t. But in terms of scale and the satisfaction of gunning people down they are in the same ballpark, and Drake takes the win here. "

Answer for Nathan:
Dude, Uncharted 2 is awesome, I would like to have this game, but why you say that about xbox 360 and GOW2? You said that GOW2 isn't the same kind of game, so don't pick an exclusive game from Microsoft and compare with Sony's brand new releasing... One thing you could say is Microsoft didn't release an exclusive game like Uncharted 2 for a while, or ask when she would do that!!!
Are you a jornalist or a PS3-blinded-fanboy ?

Still definitely getting MW2 and AC2, so I am on the borderline between this and Brutal Legend because I have to be light on spending now for Prestige Edition later, although GR has already pointed me towards this game (Read the freaking review scores: 9 is great, but 10 is FREAKING PERFECT). Also, I would LOVE to play through one time as normal Drake, then go through as Doughnut Drake, and just laugh at how differently the other characters react (I wonder if the enemies will do less damage to Skeleton Drake, since there are less places to hit him?).

So Ive been playing the game for a few hours now and I havent been able to think of the words to describe it and then they came to me:

Fucking Awesome

The voice acting and characters are top notch for a big bugit film let alone a video game. The graphics are amazing and the attention to detail is much appreciated. As for the fighting and controls it plays smoother than gears ever dreamed of doing. Game deserved an 11 out of 10.

Visuals were always going to be good, but unless this game ships with it's own controller (unlikely) then the controls, especially the shooting, ar going to suffer from how light and vague the PS3 sticks are.
I'm going to get the first one when I can find it for about £3. I'll gladly pay a tenner for this, so that's progress.

@dalua360 Hello there.

In terms of comparisons for the Better Than... bit I obviously needed to find similar games from any platform to go up against Uncharted 2. I didn't take this decision lightly and polled opinions from the members of GamesRadar and other magazine based colleagues and GOW2 was the closest. Like a proper journalist would do.

As for the quip about 360 fanboys, it was meant as a tongue-in-cheek statement and nothing more.

Cheers,

Nathan 'PS3-blinded-fanboy' Irvine

No other game has giving me this odd lovable feeling after completing it... When you play it for the first time - enjoy it the best you can because it has to end! The story is compelling, the characters is so true and the graphic is jaw dropping. It is a must-buy, even for 360-owners!

The first game was ground breaking. This.... this is MORE. Without a doubt, game of the year so far.

umm just attacking the part where you talked about the kids behind the wall in the scene in the tibetan village if you hit triangle near anybody in that scene you will say "hi" and shake their hand and ask if anybody speaks english and you can kick a ball to children and pet yaks and ask for phones if you press near people, yaks or certain objects
