Current level at gamerankings.com is 87.8%
and there you can see that EGM gave it 8.5/10


I think it lost some attention with all the Mass Effect fuss so I thought I might remind you about the game.

If I had a PS3 I would buy the game.

Edit: updated with some other reviews.

Unless you in the need of money and/or time, i think that would be a silly thing to do, it would limit your choices of interactive entertainment.

No biggie. That was an exaggeration though, $600 doesn' t really equal a Coca-Cola over here.




$745' s getting there though.

Are the character animations worth all the attention it' s getting?

Their good but not great. Playing it after Assassins Creed, the Animations are alittle dated TBH.

Stiff, old animation with lack of intereaction won' t cut it anymore (GTA4 i' m looking at you).

It' s currently the best looking game in existance, but I don' t like the gameplay.

And VF5 is an idiot, Assassin' s Creed doesn' t look 1/2 as good as Uncharted in any category.

Your an idiot, Assassins walking, interaction animations are clearly way better than Uncharted.

This is proof your an even bigger idiot.

What game has better graphics than Uncharted?

Crysis on a high end PC maybe, on consoles there is nothing.

Which version of Assassin' s Creed are you playing, 360 or PS3? I thought the 360 version looked fantastic. Of course, I haven' t seen much in the way of HD Uncharted gameplay, so I can' t say which one looks better, but stylistically speaking AC appeals to me more.

I' ve been hearing good things about Uncharted, but I still wish that Naughty Dog would' ve given us a proper platformer instead.

I have both games and I enjoyed Uncharted a lot more. And I wouldn' t be really comparing the graphics of these two really, I think AC' s looks more realistic, but Uncharted takes the cake artistic wise. They are both very panoramic and very close to photorealistic most of the time as well. Animation wise, AC' s has very good animations, but Uncharted is no slouch. I think Uncharted' s animations are more realistic, but sometimes they seem like they' re playing in slow motion. AC' s animation for interacting with people and his whole free running look fantastic as well. Apart from the main characters though, AC' s NPC' s animations do look more jerky than the ones in Uncharted, which are equally impressive for all characters.

I think my real beef with these reviews is that I think AC was way overrated by most reviewers. Uncharted' s were mostly fine, and I liked that they point out their flaws, but very few reviews have actually dared to point out the fact that AC' s investigation missions are half-baked and completely repetitive, but I guess most people enjoyed, so I guess is all cool in the end. I, for one, was more satisfied with Uncharted than AC, that' s for sure.

Gears of War.

Uncharted looks amazing, but it still doesn' t match Gears.

Proving that he isn' t as fanboyish as many like to believe he took my recommendation of the 360 version and returned the PS3 copy.



As for which game has better animations...

It' s Assassins Creed. 210% Hands down. Altair has actual weight to his movements, much like Mitchell in GRAW/2. His runcycle is propably the best in any game yet, ...it' s just a shame that the game is A) pretty shallow, and B) plagued by technical issues.

Uncharted is solid. At least the demo is. There are a handful of things i' d like improving, but Naughty Dog' s first PS3 game looks gorgeous and plays perfectly. It' s one of my most wanted games.

I any event, neither game matches Mass Effect in terms of art direction or scope.

I really couldn' t care less really, as both games look amazing, but Uncharted is hands down the better game. Its fun, engaging and has tons of things to unlock and I think is really a shame that AC is as shallow as it is, since the world is so huge, full of possibilities... a shame really.

A broken port and a year later.

They didn' t even fix the cutscenes. Epic should have handled it instead of passing it to the lame Painkiller devs.

Yeah, most times developers give away their shit for others to port, doesn' t come out as good.
