i'm sorry, but you main points for why it's an a+ were it's multiplayer, horde mode, 6h campaign (it only took me 5h 15min), and better graphics and gameplay. however, by your logic, Uncharted 2, which got quite a bit more significant graphics upgrades (and a multiplayer that is just fun from the looks of the beta), a much longer campaign, and a kick asa treasure side quest. By that logic, Uncharted 2 is better than odst. So what would Uncharted 2 get? An A++?
A+ doesn't mean perfect. It just means it's amoung the best games i've played. I havn't gotten a chance to play uncharted 2 yet so i don't know what i'd give that. and as an interesting side note, i do have an A++ score, but i will never give it out as it means perfect in every way. If i ever give out an A++ game, i'll be done as i will never want to play another game.
Okay you have to understand that all gaming journalism (minus straight up news) is opinion. Just because another writer says it looks like it will get a high rating doesn't mean other writers, like myself, will.
then metacritic, the source of the article i read, and a site that shows the collective opinions of the community, is wrong. ODST got a metacritic score of 84. Uncharted 2 got a metacritic score of 97. halo 3 got a metacritic score of 94 (that's the highest rated 360 exclusive) Super Mario Galaxy got a metacritic score of 97 (this is the highest rated Wii exclusive). Wii and PS3 both have 97 exclusives. The 360's highest exclusive is Halo 3 with 94. ODST got 84 from metacritic. This is a fact.
Okay your still not getting it. Opinion means that I am not bound by what other reviewers say. My scores have to do with how much fun I had with the game. I personally hate metacritic. It's a bad idea to combine scores and to me it often screws up scores that way. For instance (again this is just opinion) my favorite movie of all time is the prestige i think it's fantastically made and incredibly deep but what does it get? a 64, just above average. Not good enough to me.
which is proof that uncharted must have something going for it if everyone who has reviewed it and is counted into metacritic's score gave the game 9.0 or better. However, Halo 3 ODST's reviewers weren't always favorable (about half rated less that 9.0 give or take).
If you want to believe that a horde mode, 3 new maps, and 5-6 hours of campaign is enough to make an A+ game, that's fine, but the reality is that it is not.
Try watching the video, I explain it there. And no I did not know that. Cool! I wish I had money for games right about now. I'm not saying uncharted2doesnt deserve a high score it looks great.
sweet vids man keep em up. I can say that from going from a ps3 to a 360 is one of the best things ive ever done. Yea uncharted 2 was pretty darn cool, until i played gears of war 2. Ive played quite a bit on uncharted 2, dont get me wrong i love the game buts honestly its a copy off of gears of war. Its like gears but less gory, less scary, less dark.....you get the picture. So yeah dont waste your time on uncharted 2 if youve already played gears, you will be dissapointed.
I also really enjoyed this game and found that it only had one serious flaw and that is the lack of matchmaking in the firefight mode. I doubt it would have been that hard to add it.
You have such a nerdy voice with your gay little lisp. Have fun getting a paying job in the game media industry. HAH

From what I've heard, "Uncharted 2 is shaping up to be the highest rated exclusive of this generation", so...

Okay you need to look up the word opinion. It's not worth an A+ TOO YOU. to me it is. also its not just horde mode. I did say that.
Spike1015 2 years ago
you do know that there is a "new horde mode" in uncharted 2, and yet the halo version is unique because?

Good review.
Reach will hopefully be better, even though ODST is amazing.
