@LuLzezRoflcopter yeah i CANNOT WAIT to build my PC. but the problem is I dont have enough money hahaa. :) i want a PC mostly for editing videos. i REAALLY wanna be good at sony vegas but my dad bought a all in one thing and its slow as hell on sony vegas. RAM!!! but playing games at MAXXXX settings will be a bonus to that. thanks for the comment. stay cool! keep spreading that gamer love!
Finished this game in half a day. The game is visually stunning in regards to the environment and the effects within the game :) What I find most intriguing is the basis of the storyline which is constantly kept in mystery in regards to "The Ancients" which leaves you the free will of interpretation of what exactly are the Ancients and why they are to be chased. The re-playability of the game is also consistent in my opinion which is a plus :) . 10/10 it was a very unique experience :)
@iscrewy actually i just typed in iscrewy and it picked ur most recent comment. I didnt feel like looking for ur comment. Anyway after reading that, ur right. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge
I liked the last level of this game, you know the one where you could create your own map/level but i dont understand why they didnt make a map creator where your able to upload your own level/map for other people to play. It would fit so well into the mechanics of the game and give the game much more playability instead of just having leaderboards, the main story and some challenges maybe add it as DLC? with a more in depth map creation like the makers of the game would have made it with.
@OnTheLine35 gotta admit sometimes its really hard to select what i want to pick up with that dumb spinning cursur and on analog sticks. but i still enjoyed the hell out of this game
@threelivesleftband So yes, the console is still cheaper, but then adding things like having to buy a wireless adaptor (old 360's) $100, keeping a live account $60 a month + paying retail price for all new games. PC you can get deals such as on steam with things like pre-orders getting 10% off, they also have huge deals 30-80% off. So in general you can get games cheaper on pc, plus pc has games with mods/custom games = more longevity[playtime per game] Becasue of this you can play pc
@skullreaper1997 the ps3 and xbox graphics are basically the same, the only differance is xbox has better anti aliasing and ps3 has better shadow effects (wich sometimes cause a little framerate issues although pretty rare)
@skullreaper1997 i dont usually add in the whole PC (although i do like them) because i mean everyone who has a good PC payed alot more money for it than a ps3 or xbox would cost. then theres those who say YOU can make a great pc for so cheap! but that doesnt apply to everyday consumers who wanna buy something easy...and already ready to do everything. good opinions though thanks for sharing.
@andeath445 exactly. better hardware for ps3 means that the exclusives for it are pushed to the max. i have 40 + xbox games, and none of them compare to uncharted 2. along with most other exclusives. but xbl is soooooo good. everythingabout it. especially the fact thatevery xbox comeswith a mic. INSTANTly there is more of a community. and its just better with messaging, chatting, setting up games, parties...its just great. im glad i get to experience both. ps3 250gig for 300$??? easy choice.
At first i got pretty frustrated cuz the mechanics didn't work as i expected. I didn't start enjoying this till i discovered that your actions have consequences as you try to predict the unpredictable. The physics in this game is amazing and it's just fun watching things grow with the right combination of elements. My one gripe is whenever you fail or choose to restart the mission, EVERY cutscene plays again and cant be skipped. Screws with the game flow. I play this on PC with an Xbox pad 8+
I was hoping the civilizations would advance and stuff. Like Stone Age and then medeival and things like that but i guess mods will take care of that. Also anyone know if there is a freebuild type mode?
@conn0r644 the fact that xbox comeswith a mic helps. i use party's alot. and the psn messaging system is shit to me. 1 new message. ummm okay. where the hell is it? but those are just my opinions.
@nousernameideasleft The time they release it doesn't affect the piracy rate. People are either going to pirate it or they won't, they won't buy it to get it earlier they'll just wait.
hahha no not me sir. imo the pc is the best gaming system because of all the performance enhancing options you can add. graphics, controllers etc. but i havent had a desktop for a while so i only reminisce over how fun it used to be. but consoles are doing quite fine for me ... i just miss the pc...
@threelivesleftband I agree with everything you said, but suppose you don't have enough money for both? I, for example, want one of them, but I can't choose. Arguments about the superiority of one of those consoles have become crucial to me in choosing, and I have my own opinions as well.
@threelivesleftband Yup, you nailed it. But yeah if you are "techy" enough to build your own pc. After the calculations you don't loose much money at all gaming on pc, in fact you would save money in the end. A average gaming computer can be built for 900$ and easily run every game out there very well. So your thinking around 1200$ for routers,monitors etc. Everyone needs a computer nowadays so normally someone goes out and buys say like a $500 prebuild desktop or laptop from best buy.
@siggibiggy not trying to start a flamewar, I have a 360 and I find it harder to play with what the 360 controller has to offer. Allot of reviewers are giving this game shit because its hard to control, Im just saying that the PC is going to make up for that lack of control.
Wow, this looks like a good game to teach youth about environment and the consequences of things we do to it. Definitely getting it for my boys. Now to decide which platform it performs the best on. Oye, time to read the system hate wars again!
@threelivesleftband and never pay over $30 for a game if you like. Yes, you do have to upgrade parts every FEW years if you kno wat you are doing. Thats the problem people don't kno wat to upgrade. I've had my hd 5750 gpu for a year and a half and got it for a great deal, and still runs all my games great for me. And that 200$ i spent on it will last another 2 years. So depending on what you upgrade you can have a cheap gaming pc.
@threelivesleftband And In the end, even if you do spend more on the pc than you would on a crappy pc and console, now you have a good gaming pc, and a hella faster home computer for everyone to use. The games are generally more fast passed and intense on pc and I could never go back to playing multiplayer fps's on a console. The problem with this method? Not everyone thinks they can build a pc even tho it is surprisingly simple to do. Anyways we all gamers n we jsut need to spread the love babe
@threelivesleftband good for you man. I only have a ps3, but like you, I hate all those idiots who complain to each other about their system being better. You seem to have a level-headed way of viewing things. Go level-headed thinking! :D
Honestly, it might also be the fact that Ubisoft knows that people will crack their game and distribute it around the internet really fast (like day-of fast). They might be trying to milk it on other platforms before they start losing money in lost sales on the PC. Nevertheless, sometimes I really don't like Ubisoft for other reasons.
@siggibiggy I just see no reason at all as to why the release dates are all separated. Even if I owned a 360, I would think it's bull shit. I think it has something to do with Ubisoft.
but wether or not you like one more than the other is just opinions. theres just so many exclusives that are pushed TO THE MAXXXXXX on the ps3. gears 2 was colorful but i didnt like all the color in gears... and halo doesnt look that great or play that great(thats a personal prefrence) but games like uncharted 2 play EXTREMLY well. and just look incredible. i have so many xbox games and i cant think of ANY that compare to uncharted 2. its simply amazing. if you can, find a way to play it.
cont'd. The PS3 also has problems with its online. It is free, yes. It does perform worse. I'm NOT talking about lag, despite everyone bitching about that. I'm talking about downtime, no party chat, shit like that. Features that people on XBL would miss. The 360 has its own problems. It took 4 years for them to fix the Red Ring, almost all of its "exclusives" are also available on PC, and its online community is terrible. Both consoles have flaws. Fucking deal with it.
@threelivesleftband Pretty much this. I choose the 360, because XBL is far superior to PSN, but the PS3 has more powerful hardware, and much better exclusives. Its all preference and thats something most people just cant understand.
@JumboGaming your comment wasnt even worthy of being displayed in my inbox. but i still saw it after scrolling down. PC is better. but it doesnt fit in my arguement. i just spent a minuet explaining to someone else why i didnt add in pc. dont feel like doing it again....go look at that comment. there isnt a winner. couple months ill have an amazing PC. if you get the best of everything..there is no winner or looser.
@siggibiggy Its on the last page which i doubt people are going to go out of there way to see. If anything your the one who's trying to start a flamewar by not letting this go.
Know what's funny? People arguing about consoles and then proceeding to deny the downsides of their own. Okay, let's lay this down on the table. PS3. Has more power than the 360. It's just the way it is. It has 7 more core processors than the 360, and it can just handle it. Period. This, however, leads to compatibility issues with games, leading more designers to make games for the 360 and then port them, because it's easier.
@TheScoutRocks You never know, some people may not be able to wait. They will spend the points on the console to play it. Whether they pirate it after that or not, microsoft still made money on the deal. These corporate empires have it figured out, they know some things that the petty gamer doesn't.
i have an xbox. i also have a ps3. i have xbl. i have psn. im not bothered by anything. take note, all you fucking haters who waste their time in youtube arguements over consols. both are awesome. BOTH. yeah you heard it here. from someone who has used both ALOT. they are both, BOTH, great. xbl costs money. did i mention its better? it is. thats just how it works. ps3 has better exclusives (opinion). they both are awesome. get over it. buy both. enjoy games. like we"re meant to.
@TheDeacon09 somewhere in september :P...but who cares, the PC version is finaly out tomorrow :D, take my advice a game like this on a console sucks cause its pure pain playin' it with a gamepad ;) but simple as heaven with a pc mouse
@MrDrooogs What the hell are you talking about? You're assuming i'm a console fanboy, when in the comment you're replying to I say I like the 360 and the PS3.
@LuLzezRoflcopter it is 10x more powerful...but like all pc players you leave out the best part. THE PRICE. xbox and ps3 are available to consumers at a good price and play everything that most people want. not everyone is gonna throw down 1000$ or more to get a high end PC when they can get a 300$ xbox and play cod instantly(i hate cod) also dont say you can make a pc for cheap...because average consumers WONT do that. (i will). pc being 10x more fun=opinion. just....enjoy..games...stop..hating
Read the review on IGN for the 360 version. Said "Sweet, I wanna play this!" Booted up PS3, checked PSN. WTFudge no game? Check release dates "BULLCRAP!"
If the control is a problem I would suggest the P.C. version. I find that to be a lot easier on the nerves.
@LuLzezRoflcopter yeah i CANNOT WAIT to build my PC. but the problem is I dont have enough money hahaa. :) i want a PC mostly for editing videos. i REAALLY wanna be good at sony vegas but my dad bought a all in one thing and its slow as hell on sony vegas. RAM!!! but playing games at MAXXXX settings will be a bonus to that. thanks for the comment. stay cool! keep spreading that gamer love!
@Sticker704 I agree, very detailed review. I feel I can make an accurate judgement on buying the game now. Just like a review should make me feel.
@iscrewy pc was planned to release the same time as 360 but it got delayed because of technical problems.
Finished this game in half a day. The game is visually stunning in regards to the environment and the effects within the game :) What I find most intriguing is the basis of the storyline which is constantly kept in mystery in regards to "The Ancients" which leaves you the free will of interpretation of what exactly are the Ancients and why they are to be chased. The re-playability of the game is also consistent in my opinion which is a plus :) . 10/10 it was a very unique experience :)
Played this game when i was but a youngling and my elder siblings were teaching me the ways of gaming.
@RICOOABC Technically, no, there is no "sandbox mode", but one of the story levels is basically the same thing... This game is truly awesome.
I am really exited about this game, but want to wait for the PC version which should allow for custom levels and mods.
@novyak1 the game has sandbox mode, the final level of the campaign lets you do whatever ya like
@iscrewy actually i just typed in iscrewy and it picked ur most recent comment. I didnt feel like looking for ur comment. Anyway after reading that, ur right. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge
I liked the last level of this game, you know the one where you could create your own map/level but i dont understand why they didnt make a map creator where your able to upload your own level/map for other people to play. It would fit so well into the mechanics of the game and give the game much more playability instead of just having leaderboards, the main story and some challenges maybe add it as DLC? with a more in depth map creation like the makers of the game would have made it with.
@Jcnator Only because you have a companion cube as your display picture.
@OnTheLine35 gotta admit sometimes its really hard to select what i want to pick up with that dumb spinning cursur and on analog sticks. but i still enjoyed the hell out of this game
trying to decide if i should get this for pc or xbox would there be an difference? like would there be custom maps on pc?
@threelivesleftband So yes, the console is still cheaper, but then adding things like having to buy a wireless adaptor (old 360's) $100, keeping a live account $60 a month + paying retail price for all new games. PC you can get deals such as on steam with things like pre-orders getting 10% off, they also have huge deals 30-80% off. So in general you can get games cheaper on pc, plus pc has games with mods/custom games = more longevity[playtime per game] Becasue of this you can play pc
@iscrewy there's this thing called market strategy aswell as marketing look that up and you might get why they did so
@skullreaper1997 the ps3 and xbox graphics are basically the same, the only differance is xbox has better anti aliasing and ps3 has better shadow effects (wich sometimes cause a little framerate issues although pretty rare)
Where is it, it's the 27th and it's not on live yet?
@skullreaper1997 i dont usually add in the whole PC (although i do like them) because i mean everyone who has a good PC payed alot more money for it than a ps3 or xbox would cost. then theres those who say YOU can make a great pc for so cheap! but that doesnt apply to everyday consumers who wanna buy something easy...and already ready to do everything. good opinions though thanks for sharing.
@RICOOABC They haven't? They just delayed it for a month
@andeath445 exactly. better hardware for ps3 means that the exclusives for it are pushed to the max. i have 40 + xbox games, and none of them compare to uncharted 2. along with most other exclusives. but xbl is soooooo good. everythingabout it. especially the fact thatevery xbox comeswith a mic.

My one gripe is whenever you fail or choose to restart the mission, EVERY cutscene plays again and cant be skipped. Screws with the game flow. I play this on PC with an Xbox pad
8+
This game looks awesome, it's kind of like Populous The Begining on PS1, that was a great game :D
This really sucks that this isn't out on the pc for another month.
@pwngo Only two weeks :). not that long of a wait.
fantastic review
@555GB but i can`t see it on XBLA..?
Much better review than IGN's on this game, heck they put its nagtive points as being difficult..lol!
I was hoping the civilizations would advance and stuff. Like Stone Age and then medeival and things like that but i guess mods will take care of that. Also anyone know if there is a freebuild type mode?
@conn0r644 the fact that xbox comeswith a mic helps. i use party's alot. and the psn messaging system is shit to me. 1 new message. ummm okay. where the hell is it? but those are just my opinions.
@nousernameideasleft The time they release it doesn't affect the piracy rate. People are either going to pirate it or they won't, they won't buy it to get it earlier they'll just wait.
@1234fllf
You were playing it while you were typing? Wow, that's some talent there. I've tried typing with my feet. It's pretty difficult.
hahha no not me sir. imo the pc is the best gaming system because of all the performance enhancing options you can add. graphics, controllers etc. but i havent had a desktop for a while so i only reminisce over how fun it used to be. but consoles are doing quite fine for me ... i just miss the pc...
@zajac1661 there is heaven or hell: live and let die. though i think it's older than black and white
bought the game on sale on xbla for 4 bucks just a bit ago :) thanks for the informational video.
It just went back compat today.
@threelivesleftband I agree with everything you said, but suppose you don't have enough money for both? I, for example, want one of them, but I can't choose. Arguments about the superiority of one of those consoles have become crucial to me in choosing, and I have my own opinions as well.
is there and sandbox mode?
@threelivesleftband
I like both the 360 & the PS3. Everyone seems to be assuming I'm a PS fanboy :P
I never heard about this game before, and it interest me so much... I will definitely play it now.
This will be only in english or multilanguage?
anyone know how much this will be
@threelivesleftband Yup, you nailed it. But yeah if you are "techy" enough to build your own pc. After the calculations you don't loose much money at all gaming on pc, in fact you would save money in the end. A average gaming computer can be built for 900$ and easily run every game out there very well. So your thinking around 1200$ for routers,monitors etc. Everyone needs a computer nowadays so normally someone goes out and buys say like a $500 prebuild desktop or laptop from best buy.
is this a download only game?
@siggibiggy not trying to start a flamewar, I have a 360 and I find it harder to play with what the 360 controller has to offer. Allot of reviewers are giving this game shit because its hard to control, Im just saying that the PC is going to make up for that lack of control.
I prefer my PC over consoles. Can't wait until this game comes out on steam.
Wow, this looks like a good game to teach youth about environment and the consequences of things we do to it. Definitely getting it for my boys. Now to decide which platform it performs the best on. Oye, time to read the system hate wars again!
@threelivesleftband and never pay over $30 for a game if you like. Yes, you do have to upgrade parts every FEW years if you kno wat you are doing. Thats the problem people don't kno wat to upgrade.

So depending on what you upgrade you can have a cheap gaming pc.
so, is it worth it fro 14 99?
@threelivesleftband And In the end, even if you do spend more on the pc than you would on a crappy pc and console, now you have a good gaming pc, and a hella faster home computer for everyone to use. The games are generally more fast passed and intense on pc and I could never go back to playing multiplayer fps's on a console. The problem with this method? Not everyone thinks they can build a pc even tho it is surprisingly simple to do. Anyways we all gamers n we jsut need to spread the love babe
Finally a honest review of this game.
What console is this on?
@threelivesleftband good for you man. I only have a ps3, but like you, I hate all those idiots who complain to each other about their system being better. You seem to have a level-headed way of viewing things. Go level-headed thinking! :D
Anyone's opinion?
Should I get it on XBOX or PC?
@MrIam1nsane
There is a sandbox level where you can create volcanoes and tsunamis without consequences.
sooo.. whats the rating?...
Honestly, it might also be the fact that Ubisoft knows that people will crack their game and distribute it around the internet really fast (like day-of fast). They might be trying to milk it on other platforms before they start losing money in lost sales on the PC. Nevertheless, sometimes I really don't like Ubisoft for other reasons.
@siggibiggy
I just see no reason at all as to why the release dates are all separated. Even if I owned a 360, I would think it's bull shit. I think it has something to do with Ubisoft.
@disturbederik Was released today~
WHY DID THEY CANCELLED THE PC VERSION WHY WHY WHY!!
I personally own a 360, and am not happy with the release dates (even though I myself will not be buying this game for a few months).
but wether or not you like one more than the other is just opinions. theres just so many exclusives that are pushed TO THE MAXXXXXX on the ps3. gears 2 was colorful but i didnt like all the color in gears... and halo doesnt look that great or play that great(thats a personal prefrence) but games like uncharted 2 play EXTREMLY well. and just look incredible. i have so many xbox games and i cant think of ANY that compare to uncharted 2. its simply amazing. if you can, find a way to play it.
@regergekowns
No, they released on the console with the most bribe money.
I own all 3 platforms and I wish it came out on PC before my bloody xbox =/
But it looks like its worth the wait so yeah...
@threelivesleftband I own both consoles, and I agree that Uncharted is a great game.
@regergekowns
So, what you're saying, my stereotypical x-bot friend, is that the release dates being different is totally fair?
from dust is the best arcade game ever!!!! :)
cont'd. The PS3 also has problems with its online. It is free, yes. It does perform worse. I'm NOT talking about lag, despite everyone bitching about that. I'm talking about downtime, no party chat, shit like that. Features that people on XBL would miss.
The 360 has its own problems. It took 4 years for them to fix the Red Ring, almost all of its "exclusives" are also available on PC, and its online community is terrible.
Both consoles have flaws. Fucking deal with it.
@threelivesleftband yea...platforms are made for more entertainment anyway :P
@iscrewy microsoft payed to have it before veryone else, as part of the sumer arcard thing they do
I love how nobody talks about the game in the comments ..they just start another tech/console war
@threelivesleftband Pretty much this. I choose the 360, because XBL is far superior to PSN, but the PS3 has more powerful hardware, and much better exclusives. Its all preference and thats something most people just cant understand.
@JumboGaming your comment wasnt even worthy of being displayed in my inbox. but i still saw it after scrolling down. PC is better. but it doesnt fit in my arguement. i just spent a minuet explaining to someone else why i didnt add in pc. dont feel like doing it again....go look at that comment. there isnt a winner. couple months ill have an amazing PC. if you get the best of everything..there is no winner or looser.
@Agora2021 it did !
Now that was a great review...
Anyways, great review. The reviewer actually sounds like he enjoys revIewing the Game uNlike some other reviewers
@siggibiggy Its on the last page which i doubt people are going to go out of there way to see. If anything your the one who's trying to start a flamewar by not letting this go.
It's Ubisoft. Look at how long it took for Brotherhood for the PC. Be patient and it'll be worth it.
Know what's funny? People arguing about consoles and then proceeding to deny the downsides of their own.
Okay, let's lay this down on the table.
PS3. Has more power than the 360. It's just the way it is. It has 7 more core processors than the 360, and it can just handle it. Period. This, however, leads to compatibility issues with games, leading more designers to make games for the 360 and then port them, because it's easier.

Whether they pirate it after that or not, microsoft still made money on the deal. These corporate empires have it figured out, they know some things that the petty gamer doesn't.
Xbox live sale now , from dust 480 points instead of 1200, buy it.
i have an xbox. i also have a ps3. i have xbl. i have psn. im not bothered by anything. take note, all you fucking haters who waste their time in youtube arguements over consols. both are awesome. BOTH. yeah you heard it here. from someone who has used both ALOT. they are both, BOTH, great. xbl costs money. did i mention its better? it is. thats just how it works. ps3 has better exclusives (opinion). they both are awesome. get over it. buy both. enjoy games. like we"re meant to.
@iscrewy
Hate to say it, but Microsoft might of paid the company off, they have done it to several games and game DLC's.
Where's the railgun?!
@iscrewy i own an xbox i don't think it's bullshit
when you pay 50 bucks for XBL i think i deserve having DLC and Games early
@PsychoSharkBait Yea sorry about that. I was angry at the moment. Think you can forgive me?
@BlakenBits Actually life sucks for those that pay for services (xbox live) where others get them free (Steam)
@shatteredglassluck1 hmm im not sure....
360: Soon
PC: Next month
PS3: Late 2011.
My opinion on the release dates: Bull shit.
i love this game
Looks um... Black and white is better i think ?
Better review than IGN.
awesome review. thanks gamespot :)
@TheDeacon09 somewhere in september :P...but who cares, the PC version is finaly out tomorrow :D, take my advice a game like this on a console sucks cause its pure pain playin' it with a gamepad ;) but simple as heaven with a pc mouse
@MrDrooogs
What the hell are you talking about? You're assuming i'm a console fanboy, when in the comment you're replying to I say I like the 360 and the PS3.
@LuLzezRoflcopter it is 10x more powerful...but like all pc players you leave out the best part. THE PRICE. xbox and ps3 are available to consumers at a good price and play everything that most people want. not everyone is gonna throw down 1000$ or more to get a high end PC when they can get a 300$ xbox and play cod instantly(i hate cod) also dont say you can make a pc for cheap...because average consumers WONT do that. (i will). pc being 10x more fun=opinion. just....enjoy..games...stop..hating
@xclonederekx ohhhh they are
This game really isn't much to brag about especially on 360, to be honest, the game looks like it'll play better using a mouse anyways.
Read the review on IGN for the 360 version. Said "Sweet, I wanna play this!" Booted up PS3, checked PSN. WTFudge no game? Check release dates "BULLCRAP!"
@1234fllf I'm a PS3 and PC user and I agree
I love this game ...
