There’s always been this ongoing argument in the video game reviewing world about scoring systems, particularly those on a 10/10 scale. The argument is that a score of 10 — the absolute highest score — would mean that a game is flawless — perfect in every way. In the history of video games, no game has ever been completely flawless. Until now.

At the risk of sounding like hype, I can honestly say that Uncharted 2 is a crowning achievement in gaming and a great testament to what the medium can really do. When we talk about games being interactive movies, this is it. And it’s not hours of cutscenes or a series of quick time events. This is you playing out amazing action sequences fit for a big budget Hollywood blockbuster. Uncharted 2 is the perfect, seamless integration of gameplay and story.

With a cast of colorful, believable characters that evolve as the story progresses, a story that twists and turns until the very end, and the absolute greatest action sequences in any game to date, Uncharted 2 is one of the most immersive gaming experiences you’ll get this year.

I’m not really the sort of person who would ever refer to a game as “the best ever” and I definitely don’t like hearing other people say, but I can honestly say that uncharted 2 is the most well-made game that I’ve ever played. Every single camera frame, every puzzle, every action sequence, every shoot out, every platforming part — they’re all amazing on their own, but when you mix all these elements together with a great story, great characters, gorgeous locations, and some of the best visuals of this generation, it’s trulya testament to what games can accomplish.

Oh, and there’s also a multiplayer mode.

It’s exciting to think about what game will eventually come out and top this. If you’re a PS3 owner, don’t deny yourself one of the greatest gaming experiences you’re likely to have all year. Buy Uncharted 2 now!
