As if you needed any reminding, the PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is receiving some lofty review scores from critics worldwide, and as the analysis continues to be glowing, we're starting to wonder: will it become the highest rated game of the generation?

It's well on its way. As of right now, it's averaging 96.43% according to GameRankings, and that is currently counting 7 reviews. To add to those, most recently we've seen a 5/5 from G4TV, a 9.6 from Vandal Online, a 93 from Videogamezone, and a 95 from JeuxVideo. In comparison to the best of the best this generation, Grand Theft Auto IV for the PS3 owns the top spot (and is actually the second-highest rated game of all time behind The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) with an average review score of 97.31% and Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii is at 97.28%. But beyond that, nothing can quite reach Uncharted 2 right now, including Bioshock (94.99%), LittleBigPlanet (94.50%), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (94.17%), Gears of War (93.88%), and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (93.14%). Obviously, we've got a long ways to go - our review is still to come, for instance - but Naughty Dog's sequel is definitely off to a fast start. If this isn't enough to convince you to be a PS3 owner at this point in time, well, nothing will.

Where will Uncharted 2 end up on the overall rankings? We're not entirely sure, but we feel confident in saying it's easily one of the best video game productions in history.

Talking of top Games?/ I think you should wait for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.
It could easily be the Best Game ever made.

@mahal, m sorry, Operation flashpoint 2 is a nice game, but it's no were close to unchanted 2. the highest i have seen is a 8/10 in reviews of operation flaspoint 2, but the lowest i have seen for unchated 2 is a 8.8/10, i have seen over 10 perfect scores 10/10, 5/5, 100/100 , for unchated 2, sincerely the Graphics are insane,  and unbelievable.
comparing a multiplatform game to an exclusive game is absolutely ridiculous.

According to kosovo, soul calibur 4 cant be compared to D.O.A 4 cos its multiplatform.
Jesus wept!

Seriously, are these games rated before they are released? havnt seen that before, pls give me links.

@mahal, publishers give their games to reviewers to review before lunch date,
here is a link each for your reading plesure,

well enough, I may not be game guru like you, but only learnt somthing new with
vowiski, so what's all the curses for?

Kosovo,

bless u too.

Kosovo,
all u have to say for urself is "dumb guy"?
Ur mother must be very dumb for not aborting u.
Exclusive games cant be compared to non-exclusives? What part of ur anatomy comes up with such crap? Certainly not ur brain. do u even have a brain?

   u re such a slowpoke, when u devote all resources, time and funds, to the development of a game on one console, you will acheive almost double results rather than when you devote such to different platform, because you must make the two versions look similar, inrespective of the power they posses.
  as far as i am concern, no multiplat game can compare to exclusive games like
Killzone 2
unchanted 2
Gran torismo 5
Heavy rain.
  ALL IN FULL HD.

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is FAR superior to Killzone 2. And it's multiplatform
2. As you pointed out in your own post, GTA IV is rated higher than uncharted. And it's multiplatform
3. Heavy rain and GT5 aren't out yet, there's no basis for including them in this comparison table

Exclusiveness does not indicate quality. PS3 Launch title LAIR was exclusive. Ratchet and Clank is an exclusive that pales in comparison to Super Mario Galaxy. Do you really want me to list all the Sony exclusives that have tanked?

Stop being a PS3 troll and focus on gaming in general. I buy far more games for my PS3 than my 360, that doesnt mean i do not appreciate games on any system that comes my way.

PS: Please correct the misleading title of this post. Currently as you've said, Uncharted 2 remains third in that list with ONLY 7 reviews in. When more reviews come in, you'll see it drop below.

but,  but,    texazzpete is not as stupid as you are. PLS go back to the hole you came from and stop looking like a joke. Nuff said and done, what a compete waste of time and bandwidth you were.

kosovo
ur atrocious english depicts u a retard
if ur ISP give their other customers 3gig of bandwidth, they should give you 11 bytes. . . U HAVE NOTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY!

keep talking

hello guys in the house most of u must have seen the  preview of ''uncharted 2'' .on my part i have the real ps3 playable copy available, call lexyman on 08023321050 to grab a copy of uncharted 2

This Game should be rated nothing less than 9.0 because it is just too much,  I wonder how interesting NFS or FiFa would be if it is handled by Uncharted's Developers,    I reallly need to get a copy next week.

I'm totally disappointed with what i saw in Operation Flashpoint 2

@mahal

I'm totally disappointed with what i saw in Operation Flashpoint 2

it was expected!

The game is not Overhyped, I wouldn't think so. After playing this game I'm left speechless. The Voice Acting is Top Notch, the soundtrack is great, there has been great improvements in the combat-even the sneaking element and hand to hand combat have been improved. The gun play is sweet with awesome AI and good cover system with destructable cover. Though the only thing that disappoints me is that most of the chapters do not last for long. . .

uncharted 2 currently holds a 97 meta score according to metacritic, which just one point away from GTA4 . . .


Here is some of the reviews.

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)

A veritable master class of all-round game development. From a sensational single-player experience that never takes any short-cuts and maintains its story's mythological credibility right to the end to the co-operative online play to the robust, balanced, and just plain fun multiplayer modes, this is a package of content that more than earns its $60 price tag,  [It's] this season's biggest PS3 victory. [Nov 2009, p.42]

Eurogamer Portugal
 

Could use many words to describe Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, but I will just use one. Too beautiful.

Games Radar (in-house)
   

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It looks amazing, plays like a dream and the voice-acting/story-telling will hook you in right from the off. PS3 officially has it’s a killer-app and a million tears are shed by 360 fanboys.

Computer and Video Games

.
It takes elements from a lot of games - the exploration of Tomb Raider, climbing of Prince of Persia/Assassin's Creed, combat from Gears of War and stealth from Splinter Cell, yet it amalgamates all of these elements perfectly into one package. You can't compare it to any other game.

Kombo

Uncharted 2 can't come with enough rave recommendations. This game has something for everybody, no questions asked.

uncharted, dats da Sh!t!

Uncharted 2 is easily the best game of 09, not even MW2 can scathe this game's level design, story, puzzles, gunplay, cover, etc, This game is almost flawless and did I mention that the graphics are simply breath taking in HD

this means you all havent seen BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM

Bringing BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM to this issue is completely ridiculous, jeezz
