8/10 from Eurogamer is a great score .. in a way it's a shame that there are some little problems that stop it being a 9/10

But hopefully the lower quality sites and mags that give 8/10 for a game because it has a pretty box will give this lots of 9/10 scores and metacritic scores will stay high.

I hope this still sells well .. it should also come with a free F&*£ you Activision badge with every copy

you know it's good to see that the Fanboy rants are tending to stop and people are just talking now about how Uncharted 2 is a great game rather than sprouting rubbish about 360 vs PS3

This is a game that's making it very hard not to buy a PS3 at the moment ... i hope that this game outsells CoD:MW2 on the PS3 or at least makes it a very close run !

GT peaked at GT2 on PSone and has only gone backwards since then in everything but graphics

Forza has been excellent from the Xbox right through to the 360 .. hopefully 3 will be the best yet.

But i bet GT5 will sell more ... and once again proof that quality doesn't = sales

GT5 : better than reality ....

Oh .. is that because the damage model is so pathetic that all the damage is so tidy it looks better than a crash in real life ?

Or is it because the lack of AI in the cars menas that the lifelessly travel round the track like scalectric cars unlike the imrecice movements of real driving ?

GT5 may look the part.. but GT peaked at GT2 and has been living off the name ever since ... 100% waste of time.

Gamecentral give it 7/10 (marked down for being bad value)

Eurogamer 8/10

as both these sites do my favourite reviews i'm trusing them more than the 9/10 from GS and alike

FYI

before you cry about bias Game central gave

Resistance 1 & 2 6/10 and 7/10 respecively

Killzone 2 7/10

Halo 3 9/10

All from the same reviewing team

Well i guess if average games like resistance and Killzone are worth a 9 on gamespot then ODST is worth it too.
clear 8/10 game in my book but there you go

Well the first one deserved an 8 as it had potential but wasn't quite there

if the second one is more of the same it will simply be the Best looking console game on the market with average gameplay

Personally i think that naughty dog would have taken the feedbacka nd will improve the gameplay so great gameplay and stunning graphics .. 9.0 and then if they refine it more a 9.5 for number 3

I generally agree with the reviews of Eurogamer and GameCentral ( while it lasts .. save GC )

but i will still look through Metacritic and see what other sites have to say .. but ignore the 100% scores from Nintendo power for games like Crusin'

Eurogamer gives it an 8/10

From their review it seems like a pretty fair score.

I've not been sold on the ODST game as anything more than an expansion pack since they annouced the increased price .. but i'm looking forward to playing the campain at some point... when it's a little cheaper.
